I recently got a 4k monitor and upgraded my main display. Because of the pixel density, I run it at 125% scale in Win 11, while my secondary monitor runs at 100%. I usually have the MakeMKV window open on my second monitor.
MakeMKV does poorly with this setup. Not sure which part is the issue:
* Any monitor is using a non-100% scale factor
* The primary monitor is using a non-100% scale factor
* The monitors have distinct scale factors
* The non-100% scale factor is an awkward value, 1.25, instead of something nicer like 1.5
The text rendering is very poor on the secondary monitor (screenshot attached), but is even poor on the primary monitor, with bad hinting. I installed MacType and tweaked the subpixel layout, AA method, and hinting/contrast to try and improve things, but no dice.
Other aspects of the UI are also dodgy (borders, for example), but text is the worst.

Re: Poor high-DPI/monitor-specific scale factor support
The text rendering is improved in v1.18.1. It still looks as if subpixel AA is forced off, but metrics are correct now so the glyphs aren't chopped, and the text doesn't look as if a blurry zoom has been applied. I didn't see anything specific in the release notes, but I appreciate the improvements -- this has dropped from "really ugly and hard to use" to "polish issues". Thanks!
