--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
If you want a 1920x1080 resolution, you should buy a screen that uses an
integer multiple of that resolution (i.e. 1080p or 4k). If you don't, then
there is no way to achieve what you want without *some* blurriness or
pixelation somewhere, because the physical pixels of the monitor you have don't
match what you want.

The expected path forward here is to use the screen's native resolution and set
an appropriate scale factor to scale everything to the desired size. As you
already found, that number is 133.33% (repeating). You can set decimal scale
factors using the `kscreen-doctor` command-line program, and you'll be able to
do this using the GUI in Plasma 6.4 as well. However even this will be an
*approximation* of what a real 1080p screen will show, since the system will be
attempting to draw content using physical pixels that aren't exactly the right
size. If we offered the option to fit the scaling to a target virtual
resolution, it would be no different: there would still be the very same
imperfect approximation of a different physical resolution.
