“59.94Hz is Standard on Televisions in North America.”

Marcin Wichary: A big screen carries with it different UI expectations, and how that manifests itself in Apple TV’s Settings app, is that there’s always room for an additional hint about the thing you’ve just selected. So yes, I have been exploring Apple TV’s Settings after the recent update like any normal person would, and I have noticed how well-written those are. They help navigate difficult technical things, and they’re not afraid to get conversational, or offer advice, or even commentary…but they always seem to stay succinct and on-point. I think they’re worth studying. I use my Apple TV daily, but it’s become a set-and-forget kind of gadget. Even with software updates, I rarely dig into the Settings app, so it’s interesting to see Wichary take the time and point out how good Apple’s copywriting is. There are a lot of technical options, but the explanations are simple and clear. That’s a stark contrast to some of the cutesy text that has been appearing more and more…
