I have a Dell XPS 17 laptop with 4K screen and external 4K monitor. When the lid is open UI interface font size in PS and ACR CC looks good, and Bridge font size is good too. When I close the lid and use the external monitor, Bridge font size is good but PS font size seems to get a lot smaller. I changed UI font size to Large in Preferences and it doesn't seem to make any difference. The user interface font size in Adobe Camera Raw is small also. No text or font size adjustments in windows seems to make a difference either. Any ideas?

@rays39383226 On Mac I had to set my 4K display resolution lower (2560 x 1440, rather than 3840x 2160) because text was too small otherwise, maybe you have a similar option in Monitor Display settings on Win?

I fond this about Win, maybe its useful

Thanks! I had tried that -- of course then it begs the question why did I spend the money on a 4K monitor. LOL.

Hi, there is also a "scale UI to font" in Preferences>Interface, did you use it?

Yes. Many times. When you set the UI setting on Large and Scale UI to Font it barely changes the size of the user interface sliders. I should also say that it changes the pull down menus OK but not the sliders on the adjustment panels. So far the only way I've found to make the sliders a decent size is by using the Windows 11 Text Scale up to about 200%. Does that make sense?
