</span>No I did not Florian did. And he meant "a high dpi display with a<br>
vertical resolution of 1440" not "any display with a vertical<br>
resolution of 1440"<br>

<br>
</span>Yes I know a hidpi display is one with ... a high dpi value ;)<br>
<br>
What GNOME does is basically this: If the DPI (computed from screen<br>
size *and* resolution) is bigger then 192 it will turn on hidpi<br>
support which means<br>
setting a scale factor of two.<br>
<br>
So if you have 2560x1440 display with a size of 22 inch .. it won't do anything.<br>
If you have a 2560x1440 display with a size of 12 inch ... it will<br>
turn on hidpi scaling.<br>
