QFHD on my Dell XPS13's 13.3" display is hard to read sometimes. I've fixed GRUB and Plymouth, but between those the text is still hard to read, see here. According to that and sudo less /var/log/boot.log it appears to be before Show Plymouth Boot Screen. How to make that text more readable during boot?

Tiny text after GRUB but before larger Plymouth text boot.log at time of above image

Despite 1024×576 being very compatible according to xrandr, 1280x720 appears to be the lowest 16:9 resolution that works:

$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=1280x720"
$ sudo update-grub
$ reboot

That also affects the virtual consoles, however, so now i'll have to undo the larger font i set for those using sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup or set the VIDEOMODE in /etc/default/console-setup.
