I can unplug the HDMI cable, then it works... but It's silly to do this every time. It'll be great to have you fix this -- thanks.
This happens over and over again to me. I sick and despise Roku, they SUCK! Its Nov 2021 and every Friday Roku wont initiate. I have to unplug it and let it rest several times to get it back and this takes hours to get it back. It looks normal through selection of a show... Then picture of the show I want to watch is in the upper left corner on a 65" TV, its absurd! WTF ROKU and you have the worst support and no solution????
EXACTLY! But I don't have to spend but a few
minutes to fix it... but I too get fed up constantly
"fixing" it. I mean it's not actually fixed if it
constantly re-appears, at least not from my perspective.
It's just making it work right -- nothing is actually fixed
now is it?
Thanks for the post and providing us with your information.
I have passed the information along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further. Once more information is available, I'll be sure to update this thread.
In the meantime, can you please provide us with your TV brand and model? Have you tried using another HDMI input on the TV to see if the same issue occurs? For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried connecting the device to another TV to see if you are seeing the same issue?
Please keep us posted.
Thanks,
Danny

Update 10.5 introduced quarter screen playback problem in my 11 month old Roku Ultra Model 4800x. I have software version 10.5.0 build 4208-C2. Connected to older Panasonic TV. Everything worked perfectly until software update about 6 weeks ago. Tried multiple HDMI cables and TV HDMI ports with no change. Problem occurs on all playback channels. Rebooting the Roku restores full screen playback which then works fine until the next day, then I am back to quarter screen playback until I reboot the Roku. Thus latest update didn't solve this playback problem.
Thanks for the post.
Can you please provide the information that I have requested in my previous post?
With more detailed information, we will be able to investigate further.
Thanks,
Danny

Additional information on previous problem info
Neither Sony DVD player nor laptop connected to TV using HDMI experience any quarter screen streaming issues. Switching HDMI cable and TV HDMI port between Roku and Sony DVD player keeps the problem with the Roku. There is no question that the Roku is responsible for the problem.
