    This is not an isolated incident within the DIRECTV app. It is any time the picture mode is HDR. I was able to replicate the issue in both the YouTube and the DIRECTV app. 

    I am using the Roku integrated in my TCL smart tv. Model 75R635. 

    Photos included which show the same YouTube video with picture settings in both HDR and non HDR.

    The only time this issue appears is when the picture mode options are HDR standard/dark/bright. No amount of adjusting the picture settings can eliminate the washed out effect.

    Note, there is not an option to disable HDR in any of the secret menus.
