What Tim says.

Check to make sure your resolution is right and check to make sure the
screen scaling is right.  I have had both not always work as expected
on my 4k monitor.  It almost seems as if the assumption is that 4k is
running on a small screen(17" laptop maybe) so scaling needs to be
200% to see it by default.
