I have no idea whether xrdb is designed to handle monitor-specific DPI, but I
doubt it. I suspect only Gnome and/or Plasma are designed to handle disparate
scaling. I've never had enough disparity among displays to care to investigate,
usually just settling for 120 DPI (125%), with no more than 2560x1440
resolution.
