What monitor size are you on? Just switch Windows scaling to 150% or 200% and you should be good to go.
40" - and semi-blurry pixellated graphics/text along with some text still being really small, is not what I class as 'good to go'

Reason doesn't support HiDpi, and doesn't allow scaling of the interface. My point stands, as those are required for it to be useful for me on my 4K monitor.

I realise some people have amazing eyesight, but when most other software these days is far more accessible, I have a choice.

Not all displays are created equal, chroma is key and most people have no idea about it, or the night-day difference it makes especially on TV's which 99% of all the people who talk about larger displays use. Nor do they know how to find out what display has 4-4-4- chroma, and even after all that have no idea how to enable it, or why they should.

My 43" 4k runs native 100%, I wear glasses for reading, glasses for driving, but at the 3' distance my monitors sit I need neither and everything in Reason looks stunning - never better.
Have you tried Vital?

Admittedly, there’s a huge difference in the quality of displays, but being able to zoom is still a feature worth implementing.

For those of you who don't know what Psuper is talking about, this short video (less than 60 seconds) illustrates it pretty well:


Win 10 | Ableton Live 11 Suite | Reason 13 | i7 3770 @ 3.5 Ghz | 16 GB RAM | RME Babyface Pro| Akai MPC Live 3 & Akai Force | Roland System 8 | Roland TB-3 | Roland MX-1 | Dreadbox Typhon | Korg Minilogue XD

I know about chroma. I also know my eyes are worse than they were pre-40's. The point is *still* that you either run Reason at non-scaled, in which case it's far too small (for me at least), or 'scaled' bitmap-style which just looks ugly.

All of the HiDPI-aware DAWs look really good, so it's not a monitor issue.

A high-density display (retina) can make a huge difference. Scaling is still needed though. Hopefully soon.
