Display issues

   My mini works on a small COBY TV i have in the den, but not the newer,
   larger, Samsung tv in the living room. On that display, i get an
   "incompatible resolution" error. Can anyone confirm the exact video specs
   the mini outputs so I can check that with the TV specs?

   Also in the review that 8-bit-guy did, it appears that a new version of
   the firmware is available. Is that one in beta and can we get our hands on
   it? Thanks!

   Watched the 8-bit-guy video again. He had similar issues and was told:

   "most likely cause of the problem is that this is a European version (of
   the c64 mini) and it operates at 50 Hz. And apparently some of the older
   North American television sets, even though they are HDMI, they don't work
   properly at 50 Hz."

   Is this something that can be fixed with firmware or is this a hardware
   issue that would require opting for the NA version when they become
   available?

   This is something we are already looking into. It seems to only be
   affecting a few people, so it would be very helpful if you could let us
   know the exact model of your TV so we can investigate further, either here
   on the forum or via the Contact form if you prefer.

   Thanks for your valued feedback so far.

   I've had issues like that with several screens, when trying to use HDMI
   switches. But that was the SNES mini. It seems some of these low-power
   devices are a little finicky with HDMI signals.

   Experienced lag on Panasonic TH-L50DT60A, with game mode on, and
   forcefully turning off all other picture refinement settings.
