I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running Anthias, connected to a 55-inch Samsung hotel TV. When viewing webpages, the content appears too small to read comfortably. I’ve already tried adjusting the display settings using commands like xrandr --output HDMI-1 --scale 1x1 and editing the file /boot/config.txt, but neither approach resolved the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
@milvsj, Anthias doesn’t use X11 for display. Contents are played via the framebuffer.
Would adding support for setting the zoom/scale level of the web page (via the web interface) help?
This is the /boot/firmware/config.txt settings that is working for me with a RasPi5. I think the important setting is disabling this line. Also, when I do updates I have to make these changes again. This has helped me. I have a 4k tv and the resolution is set to high and it makes our dashboards hard to read.

@Penguinmasta, thanks. Let me try that on my end as well.
