      hi,

      I've flashed a retropie image on a m.2 drive.
      when I attach it to my full-hd monitor it works perfect.
      But when I attach it to my LG 65" OLED it only shows "invalid format".

      A previous build of the image works out of the box on both screens without a problem

      I also tried several adjustments to the config.txt without luck.
      When I enable hdmi_safe=1 the "invalid format" is gone but the screen stays black. On boot up it only shows (for less than a second) some default "raspbian" information without any errors.

      I've tried several hdmi_mode/group combination but always "invalid format"...

          @dankcushions I finally figured out what the problem was. I simply used the wrong hdmi on the Pi. For my Monitor and most other Users its the inner hdmi. For my OLED its the outer one..
