What customers are experiencing with Roku and TCL Roku TVs

Screen defects make it impossible to watch TV

Many Roku and TCL Roku TV owners have reported similar problems across various models. In most cases, the television screen suddenly goes black while the audio continues to play. Others describe a flashing or completely white screen that makes the TV impossible to watch. In some cases, TCs are rendered inoperable.

When the problem occurs, users often contact customer support for help. While some are able to restore their screens through troubleshooting, many others say the issue persists despite following every suggested fix, leaving them with a defective television and no reliable solution.

Arbitration agreement locks users out of their TVs

In addition to hardware issues, Roku and TCL Roku TV customers report another frustration: updated Terms of Service that appear directly on-screen. Reports indicate the device becomes unusable until users agree to the new arbitration clause, which waives the right to sue Roku or join a class action lawsuit.

Is the black screen defect covered by a Roku or TCL warranty?

Unfortunately, the black screen defect is often not covered under either company’s warranty. Roku’s warranty typically applies only to its streaming hardware, not to the television’s display or other components.

TCL offers a limited one-year warranty on its TVs, but that window often closes before the issue occurs. Many consumers report that the black screen problem develops within the first two years of ownership — just outside the warranty period.

Some users say that when they contacted customer service, they were told the issue was not covered, leaving them with little manufacturer support.
