It's been a problem with 4k monitors. For them the interface has to be scaled to about 200%. When you have got a 1080p monitor next to that you have a choice of:

  1. Having a ridiculously large interface on the 1080p one
  2. Having a ridiculously small interface on the 4k one
  3. Running the 4k one at half resolution
