Don't know what you are using, but on a Windows 10 PC right click on the desktop, select Display Settings, and in the Scale and Layout section increase the percentage from the recommended default. There are other more complicated ways to do it for a specific application, but I suspect if the menus are too small in Photoshop they'll be too small in your other applications as well.


Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that didn't work. I already had it at 225% and all other icons and menus were fine except Photoshop. Increasing it didn't help.

That's unfortunate, but interesting. I've never experienced an application that it didn't help.

Try right clicking on the icon, then select properties, once in properties, select compatibility. Then, try playing with the "Change high DPI settings" and/or the "Change settings for all users" settings. You may have to try a few combinations to get what you want, assuming it will work at all. The changes should only affect that one application. I didn't mention this earlier because it's a bit more complicated and I assumed raising the overall display percentage would work.

First off you must remember a computer monitor is used differently than a tv.
Most often when using a monitor you are sitting directly in front and center unlike a tv where you may be sitting any where in a room viewing from different angles at different times.
A curved monitor looks flat when viewing it and there is no color shift at the edges as a result of the polarization filters in the screen. Simply look at a standard flat screen from the side and you will see the color shift. Picture this, draw an arc with a compass, the arc is the screen the center point is your eyes, the curved screen will be the same distance from your eyes as they rotate in your head as you look side to side
and the polarization filters will be lined up directly at your eyes instead of at the side of you head.
THEORETICALLY....
Ok now for the reality. I own a 34" curved screen which I find very useful in my every day use.
I do cad drawings and love all the real estate these offer. you can put up two or three windows and easily read and move between them without looking through stacks of windows. If you feel the need for more screen I would go for it and wouldn't look back. More pixels the better.
Good luck hope this helps.
