Just increase the distance from your eyes to the display. What really
matters is the viewing-angle.

My feeling is, that for the popular 27 or 28 inch 4k desktop displays a
scaling factor about 1.6 or 1.7 compared to the default schemes would
be fine. This is for a distance eye to display about 70 cm.

Indeed, the current available scaling of factor 2 may be really fine
for a 34 inch 4k display and a eye to display distance of about one
metre. But that large monitors are still expensive, have higher power
consumption  and need a really large table.
