I have tried FOUR monitors now (two different Samsung, two other brands), using a different HDMI cable each time, with two difference lengths of HDMI cable.
EVERY monitor tells me that I have an "Unsupported Resolution"....
I have tried three different OS (including Remix, which I thought was the one in best shape)..no change..no video.
Tell me how exactly I troubleshoot an issue with no video?
Try the two OS writing tools and images I posted in the thread you started, here.
Work through systematically, one monitor at a time, one hdmi cable at a time. Do not use any hdmi splitters, use a direct hdmi connection. You got the PSU provided by Pine, and quite rightly have baulked at that possibly being the issue, reasoning that the supplied PSU should work with the board, which seems like logical reasoning (though the microSD cards supplied by Pine have been criticised as being fairly poor - I can't recall if you mentioned which microSD card you are using. That could be a factor as well).
On the face of it, 'unsupported resolution' would suggest that the monitors you are trying do not support either 720p or 1080p, which are the only two resolutions that the Pine64 works with at the moment (not including the 1024 x 600 image used for the LCD touchscreen). But I know from your other posts that at least one of your monitors does support 1080p, as it appears as the resolution setting on your screen, just that you are not getting a picture to go with it.
You are right, though. It shouldn't be this problematic to get everything set up.
