      @edmaul69 I tried a couple but dont remeber which ones, the ones I tried made most of the screen white and worse.

      any you would recommend?

        @justhoeber what resolutions does your tv support? Can you use pastebin.com to post the contents of your config.txt? Also what are you installing this on?

          @edmaul69 it is a 1080p tv but it suppots everything down to 240p. I've been installing this on a raspberry Pie 3 model B V1.2.

          config.txt pastebin

                doh!

                gpu_mem=128 should be deleted IMO.

                      @justhoeber have you tried these settings?

                      hdmi_group=1
                      hdmi_mode=16
                      

                      If i recall correctly i think i have actually seen this before but i forgot how i fixed it or created the problem.

                      Maybe set this too:

                      config_hdmi_boost=4

                              @justhoeber Never seen anything like it. Does it do this on clean install of retropie from an image?

                                  @justhoeber if it does it again with a new pi then you may have a bad TV ;)
