   You've used the wrong port on the TV set.   
      
   TV sets with multiple HDMI, only *one* of the ports   
   is for a PC. The PC port support multisync and   
   should be able to display anywhere from 640x480 to 1920x1080.   
      
   You've probably noticed, while the PC was booting, that the   
   TV set does not respond, until the desktop appears. You're   
   on a "multimedia" HD input on the TV set. If there were   
   four HDMI, three would be multimedia type (connect to set top   
   box player for example), only one of the ports is PC   
   type and *has an EDID*.   
      
   If the TV set will not report its details to the PC, the   
   EDID is the plug and play information it might like. This   
   is why you need to read the manual on the TV set and   
   identify the port to use.   
      
   At some time in the past, they used a VGA connector for the PC   
   input, but today at 1920x1080, they use HDMI (or DisplayPort)   
   for the inputs. And there may be little in the way of   
   distinction except to see "PC" under one of them.

   So far, I know the unit as   
      
       samsung electric company 64"  120hz   
      
   Do you have a model string for the thing ?   
   It would have a long string of letters.   
      
       Samsung QN65S90FAFXZC   
      
   If you give me a model number, I'll see if I can find   
   the manual with the I/O connector diagram on it. Since   
   you have the paper manual in hand though, you can   
   have a flip through to the short paragraph   
   on "PC operation".   
      
   Once you're on the PC port, the behavior during boot   
   should change, and just maybe your menu will be populated.
