The RCA brand is one of the oldest and most well-known brands in the consumer electronics industry. A Canadian company Curtis International makes RCA, Curtis, Proscan, and Sylvania brand names. These entire brands are low-priced value TV segments. You should know that a low price is not bad quality. Many people used TV for 10 and more years with no problems. And nowadays they present on the market Roku TV with 4k, Full HD.
But problems can happen with all electronics and RCA is no exception. If your TV has a warranty, you can call the service center and tell them what the problem is.
However, what to do if your warranty ends?
1st we recommend restarting your TV. You can restart from the menu or just turn it OFF and turn it ON.
2nd take out the power cable from the outlet for at least 1 minute.
3rd if the problems start after installing some Apps, try to delete them.
