The Pi outputs a relatively weak HDMI signal. Some devices may not immediately notice the Pi's HDMI or may not do the negotiation. | |
Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there. | |
You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal. | |
If the display is a computer monitor, use hdmi_group=1 and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2. | |
Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options. | |
Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. | |
Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1A and not 500mA. | |
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost. However it might simply be that the display requires a stronger signal than the Pi can give. |
