I had the same problem but there is an easy solution.
Click the power button in the upper right hand corner of Ubuntu 17.10 then click the buttons that looks like a crossed wrench a screwdriver. Next scroll down to the devices tab. Select Displays. Change the Scale to 200%.
I know I'm answering this 8 months late but I could use the points ;)
