## Set game resolution for emulators
## select your mode from the command : tvservice -m [MODE]
## CEA 5 HDMI : 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced 
## CEA 4 HDMI : 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
## use 'default' for using the default resolution
## (string)
global.videomode=default

I tried the 3 modes

@azvarel said in Problem with TV Samsung 40":

(native) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive

Standard Full HD (CEA 16) should be supported

@Substring
It was placed before, and even then it did not work, the recalbox hangs.

@Substring

I found out why the recalbox is catching on TV, at 1080p resolution, it was the zoid theme that was messing with the recalbox.

I put the default recalbox theme and it is working normally.

@azvarel woot ^^

well, I didn't purchase recalbox, but I wanna know if it can help my problem, if it is yes, i would like to buy it, my Samsung 55" Smart TV will not play two MP4 files I have on a WD HDD (Plugged into the USB Port). Both files display "The selected file is not currently supported". I searched at http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/samsung-tv-mp4.html. and https://community.netgear.com/t5/Stora-Legacy/Why-can-t-I-watch-mp4-files-on-my-TVs/td-p/434351 but they all failed by some unknown reasons, so I really wanna know recalbox can help me or not???Please

@dayfluent This has definitely nothing to do here ... That's a TV problem, no link with recalbox.

@dayfluent to add a bit to @Substring 's answer... recalbox is free and should not be bought. What you can buy is the hardware to run recalboxOS.
