@oleguer if you go to settings and then raspian configs, there is an option there to set a resolution.

yes, but default configurations is for pc screen I want to setup by default the hd tv modes on this setting.... anyone know how I need to do this??

@oleguer What's the exact resolution you want to set up and it's not present in raspi-config ? Is your TV connected via HDMI or the analog composite jack ?

@mitu the old versions of retropie have hdtv modes ((named cea1,cea2,cea3,......)) I want this modes (for hdtv conected by hdmi port) to use default..... you know what I want?? Thank you!!

These are modes are still present in the current RetroPie version. You'll have to give more details about your setup.

@mitu in my actual setup ((default last version 4.7.1)) only can change between pc screen but can change to hdtv modes.... this is I want, change the defaults option can choose between monitor (default) to hdtv (cant see this options) you understand me?? thanks and sorry for bad english ''^^

@oleguer by default, retro pie negotiates with your tv/monitor to set a resolution (mode). If you go **raspi-config ** then select advanced options, then select resolution, you can force whatever mode you want there.
I hope that narrows down what you are looking for.

@oleguer Not sure if you're talking about the raspi-setup resolution options or the runcommand launch menu (where you set the video modes). What platform are you using with RetroPie - is this a Pi (which model ?) / Odroid / other SBC or a PC ?

@mitu my raspberry is rpi4 8gb ram but I connect them to 1080p hd tv for this reason I want enable the hdtv resolution modes by default because the default modes are pc resolutions

@oleguer can you post a screenshot of what it's not doing right or something?

@oleguer The CEA video modes you're referring to are set via tvservice, which doesn't work correctly on the Pi4 so those set of video modes are not available. The runcommand launch menu shows the resolutions that your TV reports it supports - that's what is offered for the video mode change.

You can set still a custom resolution via config.txt (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/hdmi-config.md) if you wish to use a video mode not reported by your TV.
