      Reformatted the text for you, you need to use ``` (backtick character) and not ' (apostrophe).

      The hdmi_safe=1 part is commented out, so it's not enabled. Did you enable it during your tests ? You need to remove the # to enable it, # comments out the option.

        @mitu said in Rasp Pi 4B will not setup:

        Alright so the good news is that commenting out that worked. Bad news is that's not a permanent viable solution because it makes it look awful. What's the next step?

          @azurarutlan OK, so the issue is with your TV's resolution. If you know what resolution it supports, then you can modify config.txt and set it there, using hdmi_group and hdmi_mode.
          See this page for a list of resolutions and how they map to hdmi_group/hdmi_mode , then make the necessary modifications in config.txt and comment out the hdmi_safe=1 .

            @mitu So in my case with it being a 4k with 60hz I'd go group 1 mode 97?

              @azurarutlan No, I suggest you use 1080p, 4k is too much for gaming on the Pi4.
