- On your Roku remote, press the Home button and select Settings > Display Type (or Display Settings on older models)
- Choose one of the 1080p options such as 1080p60 or 1080p30. Select OK. Your screen may temporarily go black during this process.
- The Roku device will now output at the selected 1080p resolution when playing compatible content.
- Note that only content that is available in 1080p will actually display at that resolution. Lower resolution content will display at its native resolution.
Tips for Best Quality 1080p Streaming
- Use an HDMI 2.0 cable and connect to an HDMI 2.0 port on your TV for maximum bandwidth. This allows 4K streaming if available.
- For live streaming such as with a webcam or camera, an internet upload speed of at least 13 Mbps is recommended for smooth 1080p video.
- Wired ethernet connectivity can provide faster and smoother streaming over WiFi.
- Close unused apps and limit internet usage on other devices during streaming to allocate maximum bandwidth.
- Testing your setup thoroughly before streaming is important – playback video content at your desired resolution and check for any issues.
So in summary, manually selecting 1080p output on your Roku paired with optimizing your network connectivity and bandwidth usage will provide the best quality 1080p streaming experience. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
