      Hi everyone,

      I'll give the details of the issue here:

      • Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 Computer, model B. Version with 8GB RAM LPDDR4-3200
      • Power Supply used: The one that came in the box, you can see it here
      • RetroPie Version Used: 4.8
      • Built From: Raspberry Pi Imager 1.7.3
      • USB Devices connected: PS4 dualshock
      • Guide used: Video Issues in the official documentation
      • How to replicate the problem: I've just installed RetroPie on the SD card, and while on my 26" PC monitor works fine, when I've tried it on my 55" TV (which is where we would like to have the RetroPie system connected on), I got these weird red pixels all above the place:

      As mentioned on the documentation, I've tried setting in /boot/config.txt:

      hdmi_drive=2
      

      However, the issue remains. Any help would be appreciated! We really want this to be working neat, as it will be a Christmas present! :)

        @alikatado88 i had a similar effect with a bad HDMI-Cable.
        Is the one you use with your 55" the same one that you used with the PC-Monitor?
