The only app that plays properly is the Spectrum app, all the others (at least the ones I used: Netflix, Amazon, etc) play the video zoomed in. When you click on the apps and are browsing for a show to watch, everything seems normal until you actually start watching something, then the video is always zoomed.
Also, about every 3rd time I turn my TV/Roku on, the entire viewing area only takes up about 60% of the entire viewing area. I have to shut it off, turn it back on, and then it will go back to not working in a different way (zoomed viewing).
I have moved this Roku to multiple different TVs in my house (LG, TCL, Vizio), tried 3 different HDMI cords, factory reset the Roku (multiple times). Nothing works. I should mention that I’ve even used the same HDMI cord to hook up my Apple TV and it works flawlessly on all 3 TVs.
With all that said, I’m out of patience. My first Roku Ultra lasted a little over a year before it stopped working, buy a new one and now this is happening. I also have a TCL Roku TV and that thing is glitchy as **bleep**. Don’t get me wrong, it was a budget TV and you get what you pay for… but just seems par for the course with Roku, in my experience at least. Maybe I’m just an idiot (highly possible) but it just seems to me that I shouldn’t have issues with 4 of the 5 Roku products I’ve purchased over the last 3 years. I can say that I won’t be buying another Roku product, that’s for sure.
