Best font settings for my monitor - Acer VG240Y M3 (self.kde)

I have recently bought this Acer monitor which is a matte finish IPS screen with resolution of 1920x1080 and diagonal size of 23.8.

I generally prefer small fonts on screen to get maximum information density. But after getting this monitor, I feel that the fonts are not clear, blurry or pixelated.

What KDE System Settings > Appearance > Fonts should I use to get crisp fonts at low sizes such as 10 or 8? What fonts are good at low sizes for display?

Questions: Should I force the DPI to 96 as I used to do on my previous monitors? Some solutions are suggesting that I increase the DPI and lower font size. How does that work?

Note: I do not like scaling and making things bigger than they are already, I am trying to shrink the size rather.

My primary OS is PCLinuxOS but I also use Neon, Fedora KDE.

Presently I have settled on DPI of 92, font as Open Sans Regular, size at 10.

Firefox fonts are still blurry.
