Agreed....besides...so far people haven’t been buying the Apple TV either.

As reported by jasper1977 in his post here, Craig Michaels from Apple has confirmed that there is no 24Hz output capability in the ATV4K. Because of this, 24Hz content (typical movie rate) is output at 60Hz instead (typical TV rate), which causes a framerate mismatch leading to visual judder.
If you would like to see this change, please leave feedback at the following link. It will take less than 1 minute. Apple claims to read every single one:

Before you take the time to respond to me about how nothing will come of this... well you might be right. But the time you took to knock me down is time that you could've posted feedback to Apple instead.
Ridiculous request. The problem isn't Apple its the TVs.
Sure, you can find a few (expensive) TVs that support 24Hz refresh, but almost everything shipping is 30 or 60Hz fixed on the HDMI side. Until HDMI 2.1 lands on TVs (next 2 years) allowing for variable refresh this is much ado about nothing.

Well, that's your opinion. Personally I don't think it is ridiculous at all. My points:
But, moreso than all that, I don't understand why people are taking the time to argue against this. What do you have against having the option to play content at it's correct framerate?
- It turns out that Craig Michaels was wrong and the option is in fact there. Since they implemented it, it's obviously not "ridiculous".
- The ATV4K is being presented and priced as a premium player with premium features.
- Many other much cheaper devices do it just fine.
- Many devices have been doing this for many years.

Watching Narcos on Netflix via ATV and every 10 minutes or so the subtitles go off? Exit out, then back in and they’re on again?!
Just curious. Does this still happens when you set the ATV to 4K SDR?Watching Narcos on Netflix via ATV and every 10 minutes or so the subtitles go off? Exit out, then back in and they’re on again?!

Does your TV support 24 Hz input? I have 24 Hz options on my ATV.Just set my ATV 4K up and just noticed there isn’t a 24Hz option. It’s at 60hz and asked me to turn on Deep Clour on my TV.
The TV might also accept 24p but not advertise it.Does your TV support 24 Hz input? I have 24 Hz options on my ATV.

I’m sorry to say but this is very very wrong. I can’t remember the last screen that couldn’t do 24Hz.Ridiculous request. The problem isn't Apple its the TVs.

The other question is what content supports 24Hz? My Fire TV supports auto-switching to 24Hz, but the only time it happens is with MrMC playing BluRay/DVD rips. Amazon/Netflix just stay at 60Hz and, I'm guessing, the material they are streaming is encoded at 30Hz...
Well if the film is shot at 24fps (which almost most are) then outputting at 24Hz will result in the best playback experience. Same goes for HD films and SD.
I’ve found the HDR 24Hz in settings. Does this mean A; my TV supports this and B; is it best to leave it at this setting?
This will be the best frame rate for watching 4k films. You probably need to switch to a non HDR mode for watching HD films though. Hopefully Apple will see sense and set a ‘native’ output mode which switches according to source.
