Have you checked with an optometrist?

Considering one of those flat Fresnel lenses. They where pretty common and cheap in the '90s for 14" monitors, and worked pretty well (used one for some time, before I switched to 17").
Using the scope through the network and a browser, duplicating the display on a larger monitor, could also be considered before spending big bucks... (not great, but does work)

Yeah, either use the HDMI on the Rigol or the Ethernet on the Siglent to an external monitor, would result in the largest text size.
Getting a larger screen scope, will increase some font sizes a bit, but may still not be enough for OP.

Elder man as I am, I can´t live anymore with 7" screens... ;)
The 9"of my former owned rigol was a huge step, the 10" of my siglents another - But the 15.4" of our lecroy waverunner are too much,.
12.1", the size of our lecroy HDO6034A, was the perfect one in every case...

Both of them have HDMI output so you add a 20" screen for not much money. I think that would be the real solution rather than trying to compare tiny differences in pixels on Youtube.

The SDS2104XP has no HDMI output.

Probably *the* main thing that kept me from buying one months ago.
