I have a similar issue with built in screen in a laptop, it has smaller than usual pixels so the default resolution 3840x2160 (15.6", Dell Precision M3800 PM-RD33-928) gives tiny icons and buttons and text. I tried to change to 2048x1152 by fiddling with xrandr and by changing text files I don't remember where, but on restart it reverted to 3840x2160.
