      I'm running retropie version 4.5.1 on a manual install to rpi4 using the fkms branch.
      I'm having issues getting picture on a 4k tv. Whenever i boot the device i just get a black screen no emulationstation picture. However, when i'm plugged into my 1080p tv, or my 2k monitor on my computer, i do get picture.
      I'm using closest hdmi port to power input.

      I've tried editing the config file to force 1080 resolution, this didnt work. IDK if there's a way to force the tv to output 1080 if that would possibly fix it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

        @jimmyjudd Post your config.txt here - with the configurations you added to force 1080p. Note that the fkms branch is outdated and you shouldn't be using it anymore.
