Re: Washed out colors when streaming some content from the Peacock TV channel

I am having the same issue. We have gigabit fiber so it’s not a network issue. Picture quality better over the air using an antenna. It’s annoying to have to pay for a subscription to watch a playoff game and then have poor picture quality.

Turning off HDR does work but using dev mode is unacceptable.

Re: Washed out colors when streaming SOME content from the Paramount Plus channel

Hi @Desnicole,

Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!

We understand that you are having an issue streaming the Peacock TV and we would like to know how to identify and resolve any playback issues.

We recommend starting here to troubleshoot channel issues: Follow these steps in order:

  1. Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the * key on your remote, and choose 'Remove channel'.
  2. Next, restart your device from Settings>System>Power>System restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).
  3. After your Roku device restarts, visit the Roku Channel Store and add the channel again.

If the issue persists, please refer to the Support article here for additional troubleshooting steps: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support

Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.


Best regards,
Mary

Re: Washed out colors when streaming SOME content from the Paramount Plus channel

Hi,

I, too, am having the same experience with my peacock (and only peacock) channel. 
I followed the steps provided by Mary and yet, still experiencing the same thing. What else can I do?

Was able to resolve this by disabling hdr in developer settings

Re: Washed out colors when streaming some content from the Peacock TV channel

I ended up fixing this by disabling HDR, which isn't easy to do. From your home screen, on your Roku remote: Press Home button (X5), rewind, down, fast forward, down, rewind. Select Change HDR Mode > Disable HDR.

Then when you open Peacock again it won't use HDR and the colors should look normal. Note that this seems to disable HDR for everything, not just Peacock where it's a problem. So might want to set it back later.
