Text looks blurry — help with hdmi display settings

[clownfish360]

I am using a 16×9 LED TV connected to the Pi using an hdmi cable. I have everything hooked up to one switch so when I turn on the power both the Pi and TV turn on at the same time. When i try to boot them both up at the same time it defaults it to a lower resolution (I think) and my screen text is blurry.

When I boot the Pi with the tv on it looks fine.

Anyway I can force the Pi to load correctly or delay it’s boot?

I can see the current mode with: /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s

So when I boot up tv and pi at the same time I get 4:3, 640×480 but when I boot the pi after the tv is on I get 16:9, 1366×768.

How do I force 16:9 every time?

I think I fixed my own issue. I had my config.txt set to mode 1 and needed mode 4.

hdmi_group=1 (usually 1, for TV)
hdmi_mode=4 (720p)
