Roku displays in monochrome at times

One day my Vizio tv began displaying in monochrome with my Roku input.  I have no other inputs set up at this time to test if it is the tv or Roku. I would play around and it would at times reset itself for a few days then revert to monochrome.  I have old Roku 2 and the tv is about 15 years old. Any ideas.?

Re: Roku displays in monochrome at times

I would suggest connecting something else to the TV, such as an antenna or DVD player and see if the TV still does that. That would lead me to believe that it is the TV if it does it with something else connected.  A Roku 2 is also extremely old, technologically speaking, and is at the age where it will start having issues with compatibility as well, but I would test the TV too as a TV 15 years old, the screen could be going out.
