Office 365 "Display Settings" optimize Message and popup?

Anonymous

Today I noticed a new message in my Excel (and Word) 365 status bar. When I clicked on it I got this dialog:

First of all, COOL!

.

Has anyone seen documentation for this new feature? I assume this is limited to 365 (unfortunately).

.

I didn't try it, since I am currently satisfied with the display. What I would really like to know is how to find this NEW option in the application user interface when the message is not displayed in the status bar.

    A web search turned up this thread from July 2018, so it isn't a new feature. I've never seen that popup, but then my monitors aren't HD -- their max resolution is 1600 x 900.

    I doubt there's any control in the UI; it's probably triggered when the software senses HD display hardware and some condition in the Office software.

    OK, that makes a little sense.  Although I currently don't have a HD monitor attached, I did look at the Windows HD settings dialog. Although I didn't turn on any HD settings, it appears that Office recognized I was there and added the button to the status bar.

    .

    Golly-gee, I really HATE the "hide-and-seek" Ribbon gooey. You know, where unused "contextual" commands/tabs are completely hidden until the associated feature is clicked on, i.e. Tables tabs. 

    .

    Your reply definitely looks like an answer.  But I'm going hold off marking it to see if anyone else has other ideas.
