Invalid Format 2 (LG TV) Resolution Revisited.

Mar 18, 2017 8:21AM PDT

Black Friday surprised me with a 65" LG smart TV. Now it's St. Patty's weekend and I'm receiving an error message "Invalid Format" whenever I try to watch something on my Sony BluRay player. I've read all of the prior posts on the forum and attempted the resolutions to no avail; All firmware updates performed, new 4K HDMI cable in multiple ports, changed Direct TV settings, native resolution settings... etc. Nothing.

Resolution:

Settings/ General/ HDMI ULTRA Deep Color then set all of the HDMI ports to Off

My BluRay player screen came up instantly!
