      Hi, I see this is a common issue. But I've been unable to resolve my issues from previous threads.

      I've just installed a fresh image of retropi onto a pi 400 and ran sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade

      Now when I plug into a TV I see the initial boot up messages from systemd, but then only get a black screen.

      I've tried many different configurations in /boot/config.txt to no avail. These include setting HDMI mode/group to a desired resolution, disabling 4k, disabling HDMI EDID, and enabling HDMI safe mode

      I also tried another monitor and that did not work either. The pi definitely boots as I can access it through ssh
