I just bought the PB287Q moniitor and everything looks so tiny, I can barely read, or find my icons. Is there a way to make that better, to make thing biigger?

Because when II use windows option to put thing 150% bigger iit seems uglier, like it lost resolution.

buy a bigger monitor. Increase the DPI scaling in Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display.

Windows scaling is pretty bad. Not much you can do about it.

Yeah Windows scaling is terrible at the moment, 4K on a 32" is barely bearable atm, couldn't imagine it on a 28" screen. Hopefully in the next Windows version we get some scaling options similar to OSX's upscaling and downscaling method.
