Re: Update making colors appear too red, too rich

This just started happening to my Roku TV today. 1/28/24. Wasn't update pushed out that caused this to happen? I didn't change any of my settings.

On my TV it happens with any video playback YouTube drop out Max, all of the regular screens look fine but all of the videos are red, black and blue and pixley. It even happens when the video preview on YouTube starts to play. The rest of it stays the right colors, but the one that's giving you the little preview when the video starts moving the color and quality changes. 

Please advise.
