Setting the scaling factor to 2 is what's intended for HiDPI users. The
fact that Evince and Web are blurry are bugs in the two projects.
Evince:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723431
WebKitGTK:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131347
as documented in the evince bug, if you have scaling factor set to 2,
you can still launch evince with the scaling factor set to 1 only for
that application by running the following from the terminal:
GDK_SCALE=1 evince
You may be able to always set the environment variable via the
evince.desktop file:
