I have been attempting to follow the solution mapped out here

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Display_size_and_DPI

with no success, (x and the gui refuse to start) So I’m obviously messing something up/not doing it right and I ask all you wonderful people for your input Thanks.

Which Xorg snippet did you try? Specifically, did you try the following?

Proprietary NVIDIA driver

DPI can be set manually if you only plan to use one resolution (DPI calculator):

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier             "Monitor0"
    Option                 "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection

You can manually set the DPI adding the options below on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf (inside Device section):

Option              "UseEdidDpi" "False"
Option              "DPI" "96 x 96"
