Troubleshooting • Re: Swapping out HDMI Monitor for HDMI TV

It could be an EDID issue with your TV. If you remove the SD card or USB drive that you are using to boot, and power up while connected to your TV, you should get a diagnostic screen which will give some information.

Thanks. That's rather different to what I've previously experienced with the diagnostic display but it was indeed useful -I presume "DISP0" is what is called "HDMI-A-1" elsewhere, and would seem to be given there's only one display connected and it found that.

From "EDID ok" I presume it is able to pick up the EDID, which I had expected as that had previously worked.

however, you can set the resolution manually:
video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768@60D

Thanks for that. I don't recall ever having to have used that but added 'video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60D' and that seems to have improved things - We can figure out how to boot to TV and monitor which doesn't need that later.

That runs through all the boot messages, launches a desktop which disappears within a second. But at least I am seeing a desktop now.
