I loved Roku but they lost me when their latest model would only show regular 1080p on a 2K HDR-10 screen. And yes it supports HDCP and all that crap. Roku just never tested downscaling apparently.
- ryeguy_24 5y agoNever heard of 2K TV but sounds like a pretty narrow issue. I’m guessing it’s not not widespread across a high percentage of their user base? Nonetheless, it may not be the right choice for your specific needs but this comment shouldn’t be extrapolated to the average user.
- throwaway189262 5y agoIt's annoying when Windows, Linux, Android, and MacOS will let you play any resolution video you like even when it's above your native resolution. I bet it affects many people with HDR monitors that aren't 4K, there's tons of those. A good percentage of users that hook up Roku to a PC monitor will run into this. Roku only supports HDR at 4K and normally I can just set youtube or whatever to "4K HDR" and OS downscales. Roku won't do it.
