White captions
Hey guys! I've see few other discussions about this bu they all are quite old so I'm trying to see whether there are any updates/solutions about this. So, got my Roku Streaming Stick Plus few days ...
Forum Discussion
I own a Roku Premiere 4K (also a a Roku Express) and there's no Acessibility on settings menu, but there's a subtitle option that let me adjust the color.
The problem is that the "white" option is just a gray (not even close to real white) and all the apps that use roku subtitle settings stick to that color.
Netflix, that manages its own subs, shows a bright white, perfectly readable, making me believe it's not a hardware limitation, but a software one.
It's really frustrating trying to use Plex on Roku (this one uses roku subtitle settings exclusively) given the poorly visible subtitles.
Did you try the opacity settings? I have everything on "Default" and they look very white on a very black background to me.
Tried everything.
Black background helps. Doesn't make the white brigther, but makes It visible enough. i'm just not happy with the amount of screen realstate It covers.
Just want real white letters with Black borders or shadows.
Strange. I don't think it would have anything to do with the model, but I only tried my 2020 Ultra. I'll try one of my multitude of other models. I don't have any 4k models, but I have a few Expresses somewhere.
About the Accessibility Settings - I'm guessing you're not in the US.
White is not white, it's a dark grey that is basically only readable when also using the black background. This makes content look terrible. This has been an issue on my previous Roku express and same problem on my TCL with a built in Roku.
Just make the white text actually white.
