Scale Android Studio 3.1.1 on Secondary Display on Windows 10 (HiDPI)
Raw
ScaleAndroidStudioOnSecondaryDisplay
Steps for Windows 10:
1. Open Android Studio and go to `Help > Edit Custom Properties...` from the menu.
2. In the `idea.properties` file that opens, add `sun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=true` (without backticks or semicolon at the end).
3. Save the file and restart Android Studio.
The point is this: With JRE scaling disabled, when you move IDEA to the secondary screen, scaling is done by MS Windows.
It simply scales down (or up, depending on your monitor scale) the whole window resulting in that you see the blurred content.
With JRE scaling enabled IDEA turns into "Per-Monitor DPI" mode and manages scaling on its own.
