Option 2, use RDM Tool from Sony
Almost all settings can be set using this tool, "denisty" needs to set manually after this
See manual here
Display needs to have Android 10, version 6.7283 (released in August 2024) or Android 12, if lower Settings - System - About - System Software update, should then be Android 12, do factory reset again
Login to Sony "Remote Device Manager" https://apps.rdm.sony.net
RDM - Device registration - Individial registration - register with serial number or mac address - chose Profile VAPlayer
On display - Do not select languange on the Screen, wait for a code to be visible...if you have bypassed select language, do a factory reset, see bottom of page
RDM Provisioning - Enter the code on the screen - Provision will start, takes around 5-10 minutes!
(will work soon) When our application has started, press F10, our application will be invisible, allow the dialogbox showed on screen, wait..., screen will reboot if all went fine and density will be correct.
If this do not work, see Option 1 to install Android and change density

If you need to factory reset screen
Hold power button + power on until "Erasing" is showing on screen
