I don't think there are very many situations in which an extremely high resolution monitor will benefit you much anyways. There is an inherent limit to the resolution of our images, based on voxel sizes.
My personal preferred viewers are MRIcron and MRIcoGL. They have cross platform versions and don't require files to match in size, I can interpolate an overlay. It also appears to scale the font well at different resolutions, as far as I can tell (never tried up to 4K though).
As much as neuroimaging may often be a visual methodology, I don't think ultra-high res is actually going to help you at all. I get along fine even on a laptop.
Best of luck,

Subject: [FSL] Advice on display for neuroimaging software please
Hello, I will start working on neuroimaging. I am buying an external monitor for my Mac which can also run Windows. If the software has Mac version, I run it under Mac OS. If not, I run it under Windows 7.
I suppose having a high resolutions 4K screen would be good for neuroimaging but I heard that Windows 10 users have many issues with font scaling. Not sure about the case with Mac OS and Windows 7. Do FSL and related software have issues with 4K displays? Is it recommended to buy an external 4K monitor or monitors with resolution 2560x1400 or 2560x1600? Thanks
