If a person with a "normal" laptop displays a document and a client has a 4k display (which are becoming more common today), a full display mode becomes a quarter of the monitor. And there are no ways to scale this

Question: is there a way to scale on the client monitor?

 If not, when will a solution appear?

And yes, I know that I can change resolution, but doing other things as well during a meeting and having 2 monitors, well, this is simply not an option.

Hi,

Support of high-resolution monitors (200% scaling mode)

When users increase resolution, it inherently decreases the size of each pixel (assuming same display size). By decreasing the size of each pixel, the content shown on the display appears smaller. Ultimately, when display Dots-Per-Inch (DPI) gets sufficiently dense, this shrinking effect can make content hard to see and UI targets difficult to click/tap.

In order to address these scale/DPI issues, in Window 8.1 the maximum DPI scaling value was increased from 150% to 200%. This additional scaling capability provides two distinct advantages for high-DPI displays on Windows 8.1:

1.UI can scale larger which makes readability better and touch/mouse interactions easier.

2.200% scaling enables pixel-doubling for up-scaling which provides a clear and crisp appearance for images, graphics, and text.
