This is the script that I use for setting up my display scaling correctly on Ubuntu using `xrandr`. I have a 1920x1200 display on the left side connected on HDMI. On the right side I have a 4k display connected via display port. You can obtain the list of connected monitors and their respective ports using `xrandr query`.

You can play around with the
--scaleparameters per display to get the scaling factor of your desire. I also think you can leave away the lines which contain the--offflag. These are not absolutely necessary.
