This is something on tvs and even PC monitors/speakers that’s left me a little confused. Sliders/incremental input are okay for basic settings adjustments, but if you know exactly what you want your settings at…Why isn’t there a direct number input option on more devices?

E.g. brightness: slider/increment or input number within [range].
Volume: slider/increment or input number within [range].

I was helping adjust a somewhat newer tv awhile back and it brought this back to mind.

    For most people an exact number is not necessary. Just move it up or down until it sounds right. The number that is displayed to the end user is usually pretty meaningless anyways, since 25 on one TV is not always the same as 25 on a different TV.
