            Bug ID: 432179
           Summary: Can't set per-monitor scaling
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: titan-shade at protonmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Unable to set different display scaling for second monitor resulting in second
monitor being basically not usable. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have first monitor with HiDPI such as a 4k monitor, and a second monitor
around 1080 resolution. 
2. Open system settings, navigate to Display and Monitor -> Display
Configuration -> Global scale. 
3. Note that this setting applies to all monitors and does not allow you to set
per monitor scaling (i.e. if you want to set 4k monitor at 200% scaling to make
it usable and the second 1080 monitor at 100% scaling to make it usable). 

OBSERVED RESULT
Either one display is too zoomed in to be functional, or one display is too
small to read anything and therefore is not useful. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Different scaling can be set for each monitor as you can do in MacOS or
Windows.
