Set Large Text from Accessibility for only one screen

I am using ubuntu-22.10 with Wayland. I am facing issues setting the display settings of my laptop and monitors. I am using two external monitors and my laptop display. Their highest resolution is as follows:

Laptop -> 2560 x 1600 (16:10)
Monitor-1 -> 1920 x 1200 (16:10)
Monitor-2 -> 1920 x 1200 (16:10)

Both text size and display for the external monitors are very ideal for me. For the laptop display, however, in the highest resolution, the text is quite small and not very ideal for me.

So, what I want to do is to increase the text size for just the laptop display. The Large Text Accessibility setting increases the text size for all displays. When I enable large text at the 1.25 factor, the laptop display comes to an ideal level, but the monitor display/text becomes too large for me.

I tried lowering the resolution of my laptop display as well. I dropped to 1920 x 1200. With this, the text size is at an ideal level but the text is quite blurry and feels very dizzying and annoying.

So, the ideal scenario for me would be to enable Large Text just for the laptop display. Is it possible to achieve this? Or, what other alternatives do I have?

Thanks.

Edit: Also, fractional scaling just for the laptop display is not an option for me because when I set the fractional scaling to 1.25 for the laptop, I am again faced with the blurry text issue.

@FlorentDestremau Hey. Nope, haven't found a solution yet. Currently, I am setting the large text scaling to `1.15` and compromising the ideal balance.

I think my solution will be to at last upgrade to a 4K monitor to keep with the frame.work screen

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
