External Monitor Scaling OS X Yosemite vs Windows 7

[FrakkinShip]

A few months ago I purchased a BenQ GW2765HT to use with my Macbook Pro. I noticed a stark difference in the scaling between OS X Yosemite and Windows 7.

Windows 7 seems to handle scaling better on the monitor, meaning that everything isn’t tiny. However, what I see on the retina display with Windows 7 is extremely tiny because of the resolution. On OS X Yosemite, the scaling isn’t as nice as I thought it would be: everything is tiny.

I have attached photos to show what I am referring to. What is causing this and is there anyway to fix it?

"Default for display." for both the retina display and the external. Choosing "Scaled" for the external monitor shows other the native resolution, 1080i and 720p.
