Just upgraded to Roku Ultra.  Plugged in to older Samsung (non-4K TV).  Message on screen says Resolution Not Supported.  Please change the resolution.

Help please!

Thanks Danny.  I am trying to use a new Roku Ultra to connect to our Samsung UN26C4000PD TV.

The message I receive on the screen (which means I do not get to the ROKU screen says 

"Mode Not Supported.  The resolution is not supported on this TV.  Please change the resolution."

I have a couple of photos to show you the issue, but am unable to upload them to this thread - please let me know how to send them directly to you.

Thanks.

Thanks for the information.

Have you tried using another HDMI input on the TV to see if you are still experiencing the same issue?

Please keep us posted.

Thanks,
Danny

Yes - I tried both available HDMI ports and received the same message.

Thanks for the information.

For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried connecting the Roku device to another TV to see if you are experiencing the same issue?

Please keep us posted.

Thanks,

Danny,

This issue is still unresolved.  The Roku Ultra did work on an alternative TV - but not the TV we need to use it on.  Do you have a solution for the Samsung TV mentioned in this post?  If not, I will need to return it.

Thanks.

That error message is generated by your tv, not the Roku.  It's telling you the signal being fed to it by the Roku is not one it can handle.

I'd suggest, while connected to the tv on which it works:  Settings > Display type

Set this to the actual resolution of your old Samsung tv, which I expect is 720p, instead of the auto setting.  See if this allows it to work on the old Sammy.
