How to stop automatic high dpi webpage scaling in ie11

Question

With today's win8.1 update, we got new IE11 which automatically scales websites on high dpi monitors (actually it even scales 1920x1080 to 125% on 15'' screen)

When testing couple of parallax websites I made some time ago (used scrollorama), I noticed that this scaling effect bugs out my predefined scroll points on which certain animations occur.

Is there a way to stop this behavior?

I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn265030(v=vs.85).aspx

maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0

inside content=" "
