I don't know whether fiddling with "Screen DPI" is the right thing to do.
You can control the size of math previews by adding the following line:
\preview_scale_factor 0.9
to either the user preferences or the global lyxrc.dist file. There is
no gui for this, so you have to add that line by using a text editor.
Change the 0.9 value (which is the default) to whatever fits you.
