If you have a Roku TV and noticed over the weekend that the colors looked very washed out while streaming HDR content , don't worry; you're not alone.
According to user reports on the Roku Issue Tracking Board, some Roku users are experiencing an issue with washed-out colors when streaming HDR content from Disney+. The issue seems to be primarily affecting TCL Roku TVs, but there are some reports of Hisense Roku TVs being affected as well. The problem appears to stem from the latest software version of Roku TVs, Roku OS 14.5.
"We're investigating the Disney Plus HDR content that was washed out after the recent update," said Roku community moderator Emmaneul-D.

Other streaming apps are also affected

While Disney+ appears to be the primary culprit for Roku's HDR streaming issue, some users are also reporting problems with other streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Max, and YouTube TV.
