How many HDMI devices have you tried your pine on? Have you tried more than one cable? ETC the poll is simple but the devil is in the details. For me I have tried 3 screens and 3 cables and only one screen and 2 cables work.

I don't have a pine64, but I can imagine that it might only work if your monitor actually accepts the resolution pine64 provides.

Most other SBC's have been on the market for awhile. I recall Raspberry Pi was somewhat dicey in the early days also.
Damn shame that its not more compatible tho like other SBC.

I would expect a lot of things to be broken, and right now the developers are probably having to triage things.
It will likely be fixed as things get into wider distribution and more people can look at the problem with different eyes. If you want it fixed sooner, you need to jump in and debug what is going on. This is how Free Software improves -- people jump in and roll up their sleeves to fix issues.
