I have an ONN Roku TV and get a black screen on all the apps

I have had my TV for 2 months and it has worked perfectly all along until yesterday. I was watching TV and it just went to a blank screen.  Now every streaming app I have, Netflix, Hulu, Roku channel, Paramount+, Disney, etc., is not working.  They all give me a list of shows to watch, but, when I choose a show and hit play, all I get is a blank screen.  Please help!

The first thing to try is a "System restart".  You can find it under Settings->System->Power or just unplug the TV for a few minutes and plug it back in.

Re: I have an ONN Roku TV and get a black screen on all the apps

My Onn Roku Class 4K UHD (2160P) LED tv is only 3 years old and has been doing the same thing for months. I’ve had internet folks come out to check all that thinking it was my internet. No change. Tv would stream  if I used a firestick but then that would black out. I bought a Roku and it’s blacking out with that too. Has sound but no picture and has to be restarted multiple times for screen to come back on for menu. I will never buy one of their TVs again. It’s embarrassing to have a house full of people and a **bleep**ty 70 inch tv. Over it! Good luck on yours but I think I’m trashing this one once I can save up for another. 😭

I’ve tried that and every other fix too on Reddit. Nothing works.

@Mgangels, something within the TV has failed.  The only way to fix it is to take it apart and replace whatever failed (probably the power board).  All of these "Roku TVs" are from what I would call not the highest quality brands.  It's not really that it's a Roku TV as much as it's probably manufactured by some Chinese company that's not known for producing quality products.

I have a Sharp Aquos TV and a Roku Stick and I am having the same issue.  I can see the Roku home screen and all of my apps.  When I am in the app I can see the guides and menu, but when I actually choose a show it goes to a black screen and I can still hear the show fine.  Only when you choose the show does it go to a black screen.
