Hey Benny!

 BP> 42" is just still not big screens, around 200" is :=)

28" is as big as it gets here (4k).  I am thinking smaller.  Offhand 10" or
12" if the right one(s) can be found.  In the meantime a 4k efi boot to the
28" is my current toy on a nvme disk.

 BP> yes, in gentoo its grub source file to edit is /etc/default/grub

For graphic boots I have the below in /etc/default/grub;

  GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
  GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"

The "GRUB_GFXMODE=auto" option will detect and use the native resolution of
the monitor, currently 4k.  I did try both 1080p and a 720p monitors on the
same system with it successfully detecting and booting the correct resolution
in time to display all the boot penguins it can on the top line.  For both 4k
and 1020p all 16 penguins are displayed just like the doctor ordered.

For the record a SSD sata drive also works but it incorrectly identifys it as
hd0 when there is an nvme disk and should be hd1.  I think this might be a
bios issue but have yet to find a fix other then to not use the sata interface
for booting.

 BP> i just like to see the penguins here if possible as your test
 BP> say it works :)

Yes it does.  For a 4k monitor I think a 12 core (two threads per core) would
look the best.  :::evil grin:::

Life is good,
Maurice
