Mac OSX Equivalent of Option to Zoom In

Hello community,

Please can you help me find a Mac OSX equivalent option for my external monitor?

On Windows 10, there is an option in the Display Settings/Scale and Layout/ "Change the size of text, apps and other items," in different % E.g. 100%,150%,200% and when using this, this makes using a 4K display on 4K appear super sharp when set to 150% (which I use for Windows) whilst maintaining the 4K high-resolution text/display. Is there a way to do this on OSX for a third party external monitor?


Note;

I would appreciate any help in this regard. I am recently getting back into using OSX but find the third party display support a bit tough to handle.


Thank you all :)

Hi, sorry but no - the setting for my external monitor is 4K.

Notice how the text and the size of the apps are simply too small. Here are the images for my monitor.

E.g. on MS Word on Image 2, the ribbon on the top is really small for my eyes.

If I am mistaken by your previous step, I am sorry. I wish to use 4K but at a nicer 'size,' without changing to a lower resolution. Is this possible?

Thank you for your help.
