You can set the "Display size" preference by going to File > Preferences > Display. You will see a ruler displayed below a slider. By placing a real-world ruler over the displayed ruler, and moving the slider, you can adjust the size of displayed page elements. The displayed ruler is a 100mm strip, btw.
