I just bought a mini PC to plug to my Large TV screen (something around 55")
I want to use Manjaro for that PC
Most Display Setting Resolution doesn’t work and the only one that is working, 3840 x 2160, make it difficult to read from a few feet away from the TV.
If I choose other resolution 1920 x something, it blink and comes back to the Display Setting Tools.
The PC is using some Intel Video Card
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0879KKTCB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
I just tried Linux Mint and almost all Display Setting resolution choice where working well.
I guess if Mint can do it, there is may be a way for me to make it work with Manjaro ?
I am using KDE Plasma
Let’s start with the prerequisite system information, shall we?
I’m sure someone will help when they are able.
Regards.
System Information
Output of this command (formatted according to forum requirements) may be useful for those wishing to help:
inxi --filter --verbosity=8
or the short form:
inxi -zv8
Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Can you describe your setup and issue faced?
You have a monitor of what resolution?
And what connection did you use? HDMI? DP? Version?
What version is your display cable?
And what do you want to achieve?

I’ve been using KDE on large displays for years–a 43" LG on the desktop, a 75" Roku TV in the living room.
Try adjusting the zoom level, not the resolution.
In KDE, System Settings, Display Configuration (or right-click anywhare on the desktop, choose Display Configuration) then adjust the Zoom Level.
YMMV, of course, but I’m perfectly happy with 3840x2160 at 100% zoom on either display, but in some apps I adjust this to 120% to 130% zoom within the application.
HTH.
PS: The additional info Scotty requests is pretty standard. Unless someone has whatever unspecified mini PC you’re using, we don’t know what’s in it. inxi
tells us that.

Mini-PC is connected with HDMI
Version ???
Tks !!!
If I change the resolution, it blink and doesn’t stick.
I want make everything bigger
I will try what @brucew suggested to see if it help (Try adjusting the zoom level, not the resolution.)

Is itwhat you wanted ?
The inxi
output was only needed once .
Please read the following links; in particular those marked with to learn how to format code and command output as preformatted text.
I have corrected the mess you made this time, but in future you are expected do it yourself, and properly.
It might also be beneficial if you take extra time to read and understand instructions you are given, rather than blindly copy/pasting the commands.
Also, please avoid consecutive posts. Instead, edit your post if you have additional content to add.
Your three consecutive posts have been merged for you.

Bruce, tks !!!
Zoom level is not perfect but it will help a lot and do the job for now.
It doesn’t zoom everything ( system tray at the bottom etc) but what is important is now readable…
Bear in mind too that TVs and computer monitors are optimized differently. TVs are optimized for smoothest-looking picture, monitors for sharpest, crispest edges. So while I can (and sometimes do) simultaneously put the same image, from the same video card on both my monitor and TV, the monitor is much better looking for text, windows and computery stuff, while the TV looks much better when playing movies.

200% agree…
It’s just that I was disappointed Linux Mint (Ubuntu) was able to deal with my large TV screen in a simple way…
All my PCs ( Wife, My laptop and Desktop) and my old TV-PC ( replacing it) were on Manjaro(for years) and I want to avoid the new member of the family (TV PC Mini-PC) not being part of the fun (Team Manjaro ) LOL
tks
NOte : I speak french, sorry if I make some weird sentences from time to time.
It’s okay. I’m a native English speaker and make weird sentences all the time. For fun, you should hear my Japanese!

Sound Of Thunder THOR would have been good too
I know you are right asking people to post the right way… No worries
It’s just that I post once or 2 times per year and sometime forget about Manjaro Forum Best practices
HDMI cables are the primary way to connect smart devices to a TV or home theater set-up. Computer monitors, laptops, HD TVs, and game consoles all use HDMI. HDMI cables can pass video, audio, and limited control signals like HDMI-CEC.
The HDMI specification on:
a. your display (TV)
b. your source (PC) and
c. the cable linking them (HDMI cable),
must ALL have matching:
resolution
refresh rate
Otherwise, either the display will go blank, or it will say “no signal detected”.
The same is true for DisplayPort (DP) port / cable.

Tks @wind77
Bu why is Linux Mint able to do it without problem ?
I know I am not helping with this reply but my point is :
If Mint is handling it properly, it some kind of show my display, source pc ( already above in the thread ) and my TV ( Spec above in the thread) and cable are not the problems,
I will google or GROK to learn about HDMI Cable refresh rate, wow…
Sometime we don’t know that we don’t know… And WYKYK
tks for the link about HDMI cables !!!
