I feel a bit sheepish having to ask this, but has anyone successfully gotten their deck to display on a LG TV (C2 to be precise)? I have the official dock and that works for other devices like my laptop or surface pro but no dice with the deck itself.

I've tried various things like resetting the device, resetting the dock, changing the order of connection them all up but not managed to get anything to show it. I also checked that the HDMI cable I'm using works for up to 8k. A bit frustrating as one of the reasons I got the device was to be the living room PC/link to my gaming PC!

That is weird, so you've tried the exact same setup with a different TV and it worked?

I wonder if it's the resolution, or maybe HDR settings? What is different about the other TV if it works there? 1080p only? I'm just spitballing trying to get gears moving

I don't have another TV however I tried to connect the deck to my main gaming monitor through the dock and was still unsuccessful... Yet it works perfectly with the surface pro.

I'm definitely thinking there's a setting in the deck that needs to be tweaked?
