VLC open the video at its given resolution. So if you’re playing a 4k video on a 1920×1080 screen it will obviously be larger than the screen.
You can set a lower default zoom value but keep in mind it will be applied to any video:
Menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = ALL) -> Video
Then on the right panel scroll down to the Zoom Video option and set it to 0.5.
When done, save, exit and restart VLC for the new settings to work.
Another way is to hit Z to zoom in and Shift+Z to zoom out on the fly.
