HBO Max is unwatchable on my Roku TV

Jump to solution

I don’t know what’s Max’s problem is but almost every single movie is zoomed in. It’s the only app that does it and it’s only on my TCL Roku TV.

I’ve checked all of my settings and tried to change all the picture settings and nothing works. It’s so zoomed in you can’t watch any movies on MAX.

Hello, I am also having this same issue. The solution you provided does not solve it. While it somewhat adjusts the picture it is only in relation to the already heavily zoomed image.

have also tried deleting and reloading the app. 

for reference the model of Roku tv is the TCL 7121x. 

it doesn’t seem to do this with any other apps or streaming services.
