Since your Windows screen resolution is set correctly, it is reasonable
to assume that the settings in the app are causing the variance you see.
As Wolf points out, if you display that image at 100%, it should not
take up the entire screen. OTOH, if your settings in the app "optimize"
the display of the image to fit the screen, there's no telling what the
actual image/pixel relationship might be without a calculator. I
wouldn't worry about it, unless you are trying to achieve a specific
pixel size for the image.

I have a "Yoga 2 Pro" that has a 4K display screen. The Intel video
utility has most of the fancy options locked out. Don't know if this is
due to the 4300 video chip or Lenovo. I've never figured out how to
get an app to scale properly unless I change down to 1920x1080 or so.
I'd need a magnifying glass to really use the full resolution.

Resolution options can only be resolved by having a current driver
compatible with the device and OS. App scaling should not be a problem,
since most parameters are set by Windows. You should be able to adjust
text size with your current video utility or with Windows' graphics options.
