On my monitor (2560 x 1600) the menu on CC 2014 is too small - so tiny I can hardly read it. Selecting Expereimental 2nd option makes the whole programme far too big. Either so small I can't see it unless I sit very close to the monitor or so big it is unusable.
No problems with PS CC, only PS CC 2014. Having to unistall CC 2014 and go back to CC. Support offer NO solution

See this post. It takes a little savvy, but works: http://neoshamon.blogspot.ca/2015/06/...

That doesn't relate, unless you have an old version of Photoshop, because UI scaling for Windows was added in Photoshop CC 2014.  Also, many points of that web page are incorrect, and the scaling it gives barely works (and not correctly).

We really do need a 150% scaling option for modern high definition PC displays.

Update: As of 10/25/17, we are closing this program to new applicants. We have a large number of participants already. Thank you to everyone who registered!

The Photoshop team has been listening to your many requests for better scaling options on Windows, and we’re happy to announce that we are ready for beta testing on this feature. Because of the large scale changes involved in this feature, we want to make sure people have the opportunity to test it out before it’s released.
 
All Windows customers are welcome to join and test, but please note that you will need to have Windows 10 Creators Edition installed in order to use the new continuously scalable user interface and per-monitor scaling. Windows 7, 8 and prior versions of Windows 10 will only support 100% and 200% - as the continuously scalable user interface requires APIs only available in Creators Edition.

This fix works for me with all ADOBE Apps which open with tiny fonts in Hi Res screens - for Win 10 Creators Edition –
1. Right click on App > Properties > Compatibility Tab > Check "Override Hig SPI scaling behavior" > Select “System” from dropdown box.
2. Open App > Edit > Preferences > Interface Tab > Select Font Size “Automatic (default) > OK
Restart App and all will be well.

It did address the tiny fonts in Hi Res screen issue but created a problem when using the tools. For example, the brush tool or the clone stamp create images larger than the edge of the boundary. Is there a fix for that?

It sure didn't work for me AT ALL. The File Info is completely illegible. It's a bunch of dots.

I'm using CC 2017.

Yes, Windows 10 has now built this option in. It only worked for me once I figured out how to get to the Photoshop Properties dialog box, which isn't too obvious. It works for any application on the machine, BTW.

Here's how to do it:
-Right-click on application icon
-Then right-click on the icon you'll see (one of three options) and click on the third one, Properties.Go to the Compatibility tab
