Change Display Settings

Mon May 09, 2016 6:42 pm

Hello I just purchased Vilros Raspberry Pi 3 and Sunfounder 7" HD 1024*600 TFT LCD Screen Display HDMI Monitor for Raspberry Pi 3, 2 and RPi 1 Model B B+ . How do you change display settings from 1080 x 1020 to 1024x600? I am new Raspberry user, I need the help so I can use this display.

For an HDMI (or DVi-D), the Pi *should* recognize the proper resolution on it's own when booted wh8le connected to a powered on display. If it doesn't do that, then you can force whatever resolution you want/will work in /boot/config.txt. Since that filesystem is the FAT32 partition, it can be modified on a Windows PC at need.
