Hi there, I am fairly new to raspberry pi, and i recently got a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB of ram, and i have installed the 64 bit raspbian OS. However, when i go to connect it to a tv, specifically an LG OLED TV, the TV registers the signal, but nothing is displayed. I've tried both ports, changing OS, and changing the config.txt file to have the code "hdmi_force_hotplug=1"

I am also going to try using an older tv as well real quick

try rebooting

abritishthing

sometimes the pi... just doesnt display a signal

cwolf5033

How do I reboot, other than unplugging it? I've tried that a few times already

cwolf5033

Wait i can just look that up

Different tv didn’t work, and the only way I can find to reboot is commands or navigating the UI, which I am unsure I can do without a visual

It will connect to a PC monitor, but neither TV

cwolf5033

Yay

that should've worked

worked with monitor?

if so its probably because the TV is using too much power

What Raspberry Pi OS have you installed (Bullseye or Bookworm)? Check it with htis command cat /etc/os-release TVs is notorious bad at negotiate resolution, computer displays is much better at this. So you need to find out what resolution your TV supports and the you can config your Raspberry Pi to that resolution. And then you need to configure KMS, https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#the-kernel-command-line And perhaps you need to configure Wayland: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#hdmi-configuration

<@823653310958796851> I see no answer to my question? Or have you solved it?

cwolf5033

Yes, I’m sorry. I am going to go forward with a computer monitor, since that works well and fits with my project.

Ok, so it is solved. Happy new year!
