disable_overscan=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

Just curious. Have you tried without this?

[hnperkins]

@Mykle1 yeah originally i just a clean boot and left everything stock from the install of noobs, that was just one of the things i had found to try via searching the forums and google

[Mykle1]

@hnperkins

ok, cool. And the custom res was because Raspbian did not support your res? Was there a res close to what you wanted?

[hnperkins]

@Mykle1 no i just tried the custom because on first boot it was exactly how it is in the picture so i tried the custom and nothing changed. i just tried again with an empty custom and its still doing the same thing. almost tempted to start all over from fresh

@hnperkins

Did you change the res in the raspi config at all?

[hnperkins]

@Mykle1 yeah i tried that before i edited the hdmi settings in the config.txt

Just out of curiosity have you checked the settings on the actual monitor itself?
I’ve had to adjust the settings on the monitor itself to achieve the desired resolution.
Sometimes cycling between Wide - Normal - Full can make all the difference.
You may need to reboot you pi after the changes (unless it detects automatically).

@stacywebb i got it working finally. i ended up just reformatting the card and redoing everything from scratch. its now properly displaying but now having issues with a few modules lol

@hnperkins

Ok, well that’s good news.

What modules and what problems are you having?

[hnperkins]

@Mykle1 getting the mmm-pir-sensor to work right which might not be a module issue at all and then awesome alexa which is an amazon issue, not matter what i try i am unable to get a refresh token, i can get the access token using different methods i have found here but not the refresh token
