TCL R635 PS5 1440p VRR pink lines

Made sure tv was updated and factory reset.  I thought this issue was resolved?  Will there be any update incoming to finish resolving this?  The tv was advertised with 120hz and VRR

  • I'm having the same issue.

    I think it might be important for the roku team to know that this issue only first happened to me after October 28th 2022. I first started seeing the pink lines after I purchased COD MW2 on my xbox series x. At first I thought it was COD but then a couple of days later after buying COD I saw the pink lines on other games. So then I thought maybe it was an xbox update, but it seems that PS5 users are also reporting the issue. So most likely a Roku or TCL update that was pushed the week of the October 28th 2022.

    I did some trouble shooting myself and it does only happen when I have VRR enabled on my console. If I play games at 120 without VRR it works fine. I also have noticed that the pink lines don't seem to appear while VRR is on until there is a significant change in FPS on my console. For instance, some menus or screen only run at 60FPS, but gameplay is 120. When a significant change in FPS occurs the screen goes black for about 2 second, almost as if its taking a while to adjust its refresh rate, and then after it "catches" up to the frames the pink lines will then be there on the right side of the screen.

      On ps5 I see the use at 120 hz without vrr. It is less severe though

  • I can confirm this is happening on my R635 as well. Very dissapointing for a expensive piece of hardware. This TV is frequesntly recommended as a gret pairing with the PS5, but in reality it keeps failing to meet expectations because it does not do what was advertised.

        Same here, still having the same issue for over a year. The 1440p vrr update on PS5 make the issue so much worse. So disappointed because the whole reason I bought the tcl was for the 120 hrz
