      Hello I am having an issue with my retropie not allowing me to change my resolution on my tv. When I plug the retropie into my computer monitor it will allow me to change resolution. When I plug it into my 4k tv it will not allow me to change the resolution. I need to change the resolution to 1080 60 hrz so games will display better. I have been through the config files and changed the hdmi mode and group without any luck. No sure what I should do?

        @sdkyaker what do you mean "it does not allow you"?

        can you please supply your /boot/config.txt file including the change that doesn't work?

        also tell us what display you're using (model, manufacturer, etc)
