    I don’t see display type in my settings menu. How can I fix this issue without that option?

      Thanks for chiming in, Rosegarden!

      What Roku model are you using? We’d like to check it out. Also, if you're having problems with picture quality, have you tried connecting to a different internet connection to see if that makes a difference?

      Just fill us in on what you discover!
