Brightness White Oversaturated

When I stream thru Roku the Brightness is oversaturated and the white is way TOO BRIGHT. It does not happen with my other devices like PS5 and Xbox.

Please advise.

Re: Brightness White Oversaturated

It might be a defective HDMI cable or a defective port where the Roku device is connected to.  Try different cables and ports and see if that will solve the issue.

Many (most?) TVs have separate picture controls for each input, so one input could be set to “natural”, another to “vivid” and/or brightness, contrast etc. controls may be different for different inputs on the TV.

Some LG TV sets have the Expert and Picture Wizard II settings for the picture quality in addition to the aforementioned picture controls.  The expert settings add separate vertical and horizontal sharpness controls.

Thanks Jordan.

However, I have a brand new Sony Bravia 8K. I spoke to Sony and by trial of elimination we narrowed 

down to the Roku device. The PS5 and Xbox color saturation is good. Just watched the Home Run Derby 

thru the Roku and all the Uniforms look like the white is glowing "white" super bright.

I tried playing with the display settings in the Roku from 4k, 1080, 4k HDR, but to no avail. I even tried my other Roku device and it still does the same thing.

Thanks

Probably defective Roku units then.
