MATLAB: Mismatch among Screen Size from get(0) and java.awt.T​oolkit.get​DefaultToo​lkit().get​ScreenSize​() with SurfacePro

Question

I am working with a SurfacePro, with Windows10, in which Matlab R2015b is working with Java 1.7.0_60-b19.

I need the size of the screen to scale properly the figure that I have to obtained. Due to I need very high resolution, I am using the SurfacePro, which has a size of 2736×1824 pixels.

However, if I do:

get(0)

the result obtained is:

CallbackObject: [...]
Children:[...]
CurrentFigure:[...]
...
MonitorPositions: [1 1 1368 912]
...
ScreenSize: [1 1 1368 912]
...
Units: 'pixels'

Which does not fit with the value of the system. But with

java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()

the result is:

ans=
java.awt.Dimension[width=2736,height=1824]

what is the reason of this mismatch? how can I correct the value of get(0)? I need scrn = get(0,'ScreenSize') to work with the value of different screens.

Thanks!!

Enabling or disabling high DPI support might make a difference; see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/153254-matlab-scaling-issue-on-high-resolution-high-dpi-displays
