Yes, that's the settings I was talking about (my OS is in French, so I couldn't quote you the exact text.) Mine is set at 200%, as recommended by Windows - and which makes the text just large enough to be readable for me.

With so many different display, including 4k monitors, it makes sense to just make it user-configurable.
