The Mali 400 architecture is not new. There is no shortage of Mali 400 family Android HDMI sticks. Releasing with only one supported mode... Seems like it was a corner cutting measure. Resolution should be a negotiation as it is with most modern devices.
This is just a suggestion that should allow more HDMI monitors and TVs to give display on first boot.
I have noticed many reported problems are "no display", and some of those people are trying to use monitors and TVs that can not handle 1080p. Armbian did this with their OS to solve that simple problem that was taking up time in forums. Even many HDMI monitors may work if they were some other resolution like 1280x1024 or 1440 x 900 and the Pine is set at 720p. I'm not sure how far the OS devs are in getting the correct dts settings for 720p, but I feel that would be the best simple fix for many.
