Hello, I'm running Zorin OS 18 Core on my laptop (ryzen 7 5800h, rtx 3070) with x11 and latest nvidia drivers, and no matter what I try, I can't get 200% scaling on my 4k roku tv. I have laptop display, my 2nd (main) monitor, and this tv as 3rd monitor. TV is connected through hdmi. If I try to set 200% scale in display settings, two things happen: either nothing happens, or whole system scales to 200%, sometimes with bugs of ui. I tried xandr, but it just break the image on tv completely until reboot, everithing shifts. Anyways I can get it work?
Welcome to the Forum!
Is this a straight HDMI to HDMI Connection or is there an Adapter or Hub or something? When You go to Settings>Displays is Your TV listed there?
Yes, straight hdmi to hdmi. My tv is listed in the settings and I'm able to change resolution or refresh rate, but when I click on 200% scaling things that I mentioned above are happen
When You unplug the other Monitor, does it work then? Have You the Possibility to switch the HDMI Ports?
Unfortunately - not working and I have only 1 hdmi in my laptop. The only solution I found for now is to change tv resolution to 1080p, but it's reduces quality a lot
Could You post the Output of the Command xrandr please?
That's when I have TV hdmi disconnected:

Is Your HDMI Cable one for HDMI 2.1? And the HDMI Ports: Are they 2.1, too?
