I simply scale the external display using xrandr --scale 2x2 (or similar, you can specify fractions).

Works way better than expected and I use it ten hours a day. At some point, Wayland solves this natively, but in the meantime this is an acceptable workaround.



It's crazy there is no obvious UI for this. xrandr can do so much more than the typical monitor settings panel.
