Some ancient TVs only support up to 1080i instead of 1080p.

Yep that’s my use case. My home theater TV is from 2007 (not ancient) and supports either 720p or 1080i. Thanks to Apple’s helpful “up”grade now I’m stuck with 720p.

That 17 years old tv almost reaches adulthood!

Which version of macOS are you using? I'm using macOS Ventura 13.6.3 on a 2018 Macbook Pro and there is no "Text" section under "Settings > Accessibility > Display".

can confirm it exists on my mbp running 14.2.1

ditto on M2 Air, Sonoma 4.3.1 (23D60)

It seems to still be there? System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Text Text Size and Menu Bar Size may allow you to do this adjustment?

You know, as a new Mac convert I've been looking for this, and could never find it (I guess I expected it to be in Displays, not Accessibility). Thanks!

One thing I have noticed is that Apple puts a lot more things in Accessibility, but they all are accessibility features when you think about them. (I especially noticed this with my Airpods Pro.) So instead of being the settings that people with major disabilities use, it's the settings that a lot of people use to make their computer more accessible to them, and by being in there they're more likely to find other settings that make their computer more accessible to them.
