There is a problem with some plugins like NI Massive X and all Arturia plugins when disabling the auto-scaling for the plugin! The plugin doesn't render correctly/completely! I have the latest 11 stable release. Any fix in the coming beta?
I have Windows scaled to 150% on 4k/27" monitor. If I enabled the auto-scaling in Ableton, the fonts become not that crisp.
For comparison, Bitwig did that right (Cubase and S1 as well), I attach two images from Live and Bitwig:

We actually had a thread recently about this: viewtopic.php?t=579372
The long and short of it is Ableton does some weird scaling stuff when your windows scaling is set over 100%. This has been broken since they introduced High DPI in Live 10. I have personally been in contact with support. Allegedly they opened a dev ticket, but no idea when it will be fixed. You are more than welcome to hit up their support, but it will probably be weeks before they even get back to you and then you will have to go the process of them telling you all the ways that wont do anything to get them to even acknowledge the problem. But hey the more pressure put on them hopefully they will fix it.
Here is the only work around I've found:
Right click the Live executable (or shortcut) -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings -> Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" -> change drop down to "Application" -> Apply. Then relaunch Live. On your plugins disable "Auto Scale Plugin Window".
This will work for many plugins, like Arturias. Where you can, favor VST 2 over VST 3 as those tend to scale correctly. Some plugins will still be broken though so keep that in mind.

Thank you for the info! I forgot about the other thread! (That I already have posted in and mistakenly said that All plugins are right!! I meant by the default stretching they are ok as size but later I noticed the fonts not as crisp as without stretching).
I already posted on their forum, but I'll write to their support as well, although they are not responsive as they were some years ago.
