rdilloway8  What size is your TV? When you setup your Roku it finds the optimal size for your TV. Did you do that? If not you can redo it. 

  1. Press the Home button on the remote to access the Roku home screen.
  2. Use the arrows to highlight the Settings menu.
  3. Enter the Settings menu and select the Display type option.
    auto detect
  4. Use the arrows to select the desired resolution.

      You Stick is 4k, your tv is 4K, but is the tv resolution set to 4k? If you're trying a 4k signal from the Roku on TV set to 720 you get blown up picture. The Stick is it directly connected to the tv? or through a hdmi switcher? Do you have hdmi extender connected that isn't rated for 4k?

        I'm still getting an oversized picture. no where on my samsung TV is there a place to set the resolution. I did change my picture size to 'fit to screen'(was on 16:9).  The stick is directly connected.   I really appreciate your help.
