Let me try to rephrase the original post.

You got a second screen but which only a single resolution appear in xrandr. Windows that you spawn on it are too small to read.
However, you don't want to use xrandr --scale XxY because of the hassle.
Also note that xrandr got plenty of options and capabilities that aren't present in GUI that wraps around it.
There's currently no solution to scale specific windows or a group of windows other than through a compositor, but I haven't encountered this even. Only zooming capabilities.

We could take the subject more broadly and discuss high dpi screen too, all in one swoop.
