How to fix Roku zoomed in and cutting screen off?

Jump to solution

Suddenly, while using the remove of my Roku Premiere... everything is zoomed in. It cuts off on all sides.

It isn't the TV, as I can watch air channels AND Netflix is fine when I access it through my Smart TV. I unplugged it, but that did not help. Yes, I did plug it back in. I tried changing themes. as some other threads suggested. nope.

My roku has suddenly become a paperweight. Any thoughts?

First thing I'd try would be a restart of the Roku.   Settings > System > System restart

If that doesn't get it, try Settings > Display type, and set it to your set's actual resolution instead of "Auto detect".

I had to manually select the image size. You had the solution.

I don’t have a display type option on my TCL tv. What other fixes do you have?

Evidently, people suggesting fixes have never experienced this issue.

When watching cable hit the star on the Roku remote. Then go to picture size and choice auto not zoom. We just fixed it for my mother in law

I have a similar issue, except this issue occurred on the latest Firmware update of the ROKU device.    Nothing I am doing is fixing the issue, including all mentioned and a few more.   Can I go back to an older firmware on the ROKU device that does not have this bug?

Unfortunately, picture size was not an option.   Only Mode and Tracking.  Tried with YouTubeTV and Netflix. Thanks.
