+## VS Code is blurry on High DPI monitors
+If you use a 4K monitor, chances are your VS Code appears blurry. There is a workaround for this but, at least on my machine, it makes VS Code laggy and a bit unresponsive. Anyways, here it is:
+
+On windows:
+1. Open the `C:\Program Files\VcXsrv` folder.
+2. Right click on the `vcxserver.exe` file and choose `Properties`.
+3. From the `Compatibility` tab, click the `Change hi DPI settings` button.
+4. Turn on the `Override high DPI scaling behaviour` checkbox and choose `Application` in the dropdown menu just below.
+5. Press `OK` and save.
+6. Close VcXserver and re-launch it.
+
+On Linux, add the following at the end of your `.bashrc` (or `.zshrc` if using ZSH):
+```bash
+export GDK_SCALE=2
