Fonts are blurry on Apple TV 4K

We've had a TVML-based Apple TV app since tvOS 9. Our users are reporting that on their Apple TV 4Ks fonts look blurry.


This image below really shows the difference: https://imgur.com/a/lm9YgBe


These are two screenshots taken directly from the Apple TV 4K, but zoomed in to show the difference. The DI on the left looks significantly worse than the DI on the right. The one from the left is our application, and the one on the right is from a brand new TVML-app project generated by XCode.


What can we do to get our application to use crisper fonts?


Thanks!

Try supplying 2x images for the launch image and see if it works out.


If not, this might be a bug.

Is your asset catalog providing the 2x launch image/icons?

It's got 2x icons for 'App Icon - Small', 'Top Shelf Image Wide', 'Top Shelf Image' but NOT FOR 'App Icon - Large' and 'LaunchImage'.

@jfoo --


Do we need to provide 2x assets for ALL images?
