      I have a pi2. It will not display on one tv in the house but works on others. The one it will not display on is a Samsung model # 32C4000. Does anyone know why it will not display on this tv but works on any other i have tried?

        well, seems your samsung does support hdmi@ 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p according to the specs. Maybe but should not be inaccurate EDID so no idea why it's not working for you. I assume all your other displays are hdmi.

        for starters you could try forcing hdmi and then tweak from there.

        go to command line on your pi2 and type;

        sudo nano /boot/config.txt
        then right at the bottom enter
        hdmi_force_hotplug=1
        then ctrl+x then y then enter to save.

        test on your display and see if that works first.

        if not try "safe mode" to try to boot with maximum compatibility this time by entering;
        hdmi_safe=1
