Different default Chrome zooms for different monitors

1

I am using an external monitor alongside my default retina macbook computer. The macbook uses @2x 1440*900 while the monitor uses 2560*1440

Chrome text on the monitor at default zoom is difficult to read, and so I normally have to manually zoom it to 1.25x. I saw from an answer that one could use the Stylish chrome extension and to make one's own style. I was wondering if anyone has managed to get their own style to work properly.

Here is what I have:

@media screen and (width: 1440px) { body { zoom: 1; }} 
@media screen and (width: 2560px) { body { zoom: 1.25; }}

The newer versions of Windows allow setting a DPI or scaling per monitor. This would accomplish what you are looking for at a greater level. Scaling can cause some applications to be displayed incorrectly also, but is becoming more common with very high resolutions becoming more mainstream.

This is a great point. Would be great to get a solution that works cross platform (I am on a Mac and cannot take advantage of Windows's DPI scaling :( ) – daspianist – 2017-06-28T22:16:50.110

OK, your question didn't mention your OS, so I thought I would give a suggestion. Hope you find another option. – Cory Knutson – 2017-06-28T22:17:52.377
