      Hello all,

      I have an LG OLED TV and for some reason I am getting an Invalid Format warning on the TV about 90% of the time. I’m tried re-imaging several times and have messed around with the resolution settings. It works sometimes but it’s random. Everything seems to work fine on my monitor. Any ideas what the issue could be?

        This looks like a bad EDID read from the Pi side, which translates to an incorrect resolution sent to the TV. Looks like a problem specific to LG TVs.

        Try to lock the Pi to a certain resolution with the options in config.txt and configure it to ignore the EDID sent by the TV:

        hdmi_group = 1
hdmi_mode = 16
hdmi_ignore_edid = 0xa5000080
