First question that OP needs to answer is:
Does your monitor have a scaler chip? Depending on how said "7in LCD" is constructed throwing an unsupported mode on it will not give you a pleasent output on screen.
wlr-randr is sadly lacking the '--scale-from' option which is available in xrandr which resizes the display output by defining a target virtual resolution instead of a multiplier (like with '--scale').
Available options with wlr-randr are:As defining a custom mode might/will fail when there is no scaler on the displays OP's only option is using '--scale'.
Tested on a screen which has 1024x600 pixels with no scaler chip. the factor of 0.75 gives a readable result (that's 1365x800). Going lower will just result in blurred text (but might still be acceptable when viewing pictures)OP can test it 'for free' as the command will not be persistent (will not survive a reboot).
