Your problem isn't too many pixels.  It's too many pixels-per-inch (too much density).  A 28" monitor is not super huge, and having 3840x2160 pixels, makes each individual pixel too small.  They *should* have only released a 28" monitor with ... I dunno, some number less pixels.

Your only two choices are (a) continue as you are with expanding fonts, increasing the size of icons etc, causing objects to take up more pixels.  or (b) set the display output to a lower resolution, as the manufacturer should have done in the first place.  Or (c) magnifying glasses.
