Hi @dragonfly72,
Thank you for posting in the Roku community!
We appreciate you letting us know about this issue, and don't worry—we've got you covered.
You can change the resolution or screen settings if needed. Different TV manufacturers offer displays with various resolutions and frame rates. Your Roku streaming player can automatically detect the best resolution and frame rate for your TV, or you can manually select them. Roku players that support High Dynamic Range (HDR) come with an HDMI 2.0 compatible cable.
Resolution measures the level of detail visible on the screen. Common TV resolutions today are 720p, 1080p, and 4K Ultra HD (4K), with some 4K TVs also supporting higher frame rates and more color information with High Dynamic Range (HDR). The higher the resolution, the sharper and more realistic the image appears.
If your Roku streaming player is unable to correctly detect your TV's capabilities, you may wish to configure the display type yourself. Follow the steps below to manually change your display type setting.
Note: If you receive a message indicating your TV does not support a display type, you can still select the display type and try it anyway.
Hope this helps.
Wishing you a happy streaming experience! 💜
Best regards,
Jharra
