Just a question to Tony:

Don't LED Monitors have own graphics card for
displaying With 4K Screen ? Or is this all entirely Up
to graphics card on Mainboard ?

&gt; &gt; &gt; or workaround than a proper fix. Create a file<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; Comment=3DSet text scaling factor to 1.6<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I haven&#39;t tested that, but hopefully it will work for yo=
u, or you<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; will be able to fix it if there&#39;s something wrong. For m=

&gt; &gt; &gt; information, lookup &quot;XDG autostart&quot;.<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; I&#39;ve been able to tinker it, with your help. I&#39;ve adjuste=

&gt; &gt; scaling.desktop file to start a script instead of calling<br>
&gt; &gt; gsettings.<br>
&gt; &gt; This is necessary because several commands are needed:<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; #! /bin/bash<br>
&gt; &gt; sleep 1<br>
&gt; &gt; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.6=
1<br>
&gt; &gt; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.6=
<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; All of them are necessary. Or so it seems.<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; Now it - somehow - works. :-)<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; Thanks for your help!<br>
