Can't answer that as my monitors are 1920x1080 pixel resolution, but probably it will affect those who using 4K resolution.

From the manual:

A new preference is now available in the General tab of the preferences dialog for an alternate High DPI mode, which may improve the High DPI experience for users who have multiple monitors that have different scaling levels set in Windows.

For example, one monitor at 4k and another at 1080. Helps keep relative size across those monitors. I don`t have multiple monitors so cant check it.

not sure, but unfortunately it doesn't fix my old scaling issue I'm having. 4K screen running on 175%:

'use high DPI scaling' ON

please note the 'render options' hiding the 'save as' filename!!

'use high DPI scaling' ON + 'use alternate High DPI settings'

My main monitor is a 27" 4K and the second is a 27" 1440p, if I leave "use alternative ..." unselected, at this stage all looks fine, including preview on external monitor. If I select "use alternative ..." then using preview on external monitor the video scale is zoomed right in.
