Just to add, if this still doesn't work out for someone; - Disconnect your TV/monitor - Switch to desktop mode - Delete these textfiles (leave the folderstructure intact) - Reboot into gamemode - Connect your TV After this, the problem fixed itself for me.

Same, it's good to know I wasn't the only one with this issue though. I run into problems with programs, development, and hardware all the time. I go looking for the solution and begin to think I'm the only person with the issue because there are never any videos or forums talking about it, not even from the manufacture. I'll tell you what though, they'll be happy to take more of your money to replace whatever it is or have a tech fix it for you.

First part worked where you can select what display you want by deleting files. I edited files by changing refresh from 30 to 60 The resolution is correct. I saved the files plugged in and nothing, unplugged checked files again and they are back to 30 in refresh rate.

What is the refresh rate set at? Make sure that was also changed to 30hz or 60hz, dependant on the hub/deck mount your usung. I realized I goofed the video and debating on taking it down. I said the issue was the TV. However, the issue is actually the hub or mount you are plugging the deck into. The hub I was using could not display at 4k, so therfore no image. I ran into the same issue you had this morning, TV was black. I had to unplug the deck from the mount, and unplugged the power and hdmi from the mount for a few seconds. When plugging them back in I plugged the power in first, then hdmi, finally the deck all while the TV was on. Then it displayed on the TV just fine.

@Izmolio1 Жыл бұрын
Could be one of two things. First try a different resolution, change it within the display settings when you right click the desktop. Second, your monitor/TV aspect ratio or zoom level may be off. You have to adjust that within the monitor/TV itself.

Good to hear. I mentioned in comments below that I did screw up in the video and I guess I'll modify the video to show that. In the video I should have said your tv is only one of two factors, you're limited by both the hub used and you're tv. My TV is the same now, 4k OLED but the output of my hub limits me down as well.

I want to say I ran into a similar issue when I fist got my deck. I had to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to reset the display. This also booted the deck from steam's bios. I want to say I selected something from that menu to reset my desktop mode. I don't have a video for that.
@astrospider30159 ай бұрын
@@sunnyboynfs I tried holding down the power button to boot it up in the bios mode but there was no way to recover the screen. I'm pretty sure it was trying to project the screen onto an external display that didn't exist. I reaches out to valve support and they said there's no real fix yet. I suggested that if I was able to change the external display settings from gaming mode that probably would have solved the issue. I ended up having to load steam os onto a thumb drive, then booted it up in bios mode and reimaged the console. I lost everything except for the stuff on my SD card. Spent a good four days redownloading roms and steam games. You could wait until they have a fix for it but I have no clue how long that would take and I doubt a fix will come with the official 3.5 patch. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news dude.

@@astrospider3015 I found a separate KZbin video where the person booted into gaming mode then connected a usb keyboard through usb hub or dock. After that he pressed ctrl+alt+f5 to open a terminal and use command to delete some files in kscreen folder which will reset your external and internal display settings. For me, this method didn’t work as usb keyboard and mouse weren’t working on my new usb c hub. What worked for me was to switch from Main beta update to Stable update for Steam OS which also fixed the grey screen issue in desktop mode. Sorry you had to reinstall OS and everything…

@sunnyboynfs strange, well if that's the case, then deleting the files will reset the prompt. Also, be sure not only the resolution is compatible with your display AND hub/adapter but the refresh rate is also compatible with both. In theory, this should fix your problem. The only way I can recreate this issue you're having is by setting either too high in its respective resolution. Try manually setting the file as shown in the video to a low resolution and refresh rate. Hope that helps.
