I am considering purchasing a 4k display, but I know Photoshop had problems with this, at least on Windows 10 machines.  I don't see any new information since January.  Any advice on this?

As long as your Photoshop and Windows versions are current, you'll be fine. Most of the complaints have come from CS6 users who can't accept that their software is six years old.

The way this works now is that Photoshop automatically picks up UI scaling from the Windows setting - in 25% increments. This is important. The PS Preferences setting for UI scaling - 100% or 200% - is not used. That setting is now only for users with older Windows versions.

BTW, just so we're clear - Photoshop doesn't scale the image itself. That's, as always, one image pixel to one screen pixel at 100%. So the image will display smaller than you're used to.

This is in contrast to web browsers and picture viewers that scale the image up to compensate for the high resolution. Just pointing this out because a lot of people misunderstand this.
