I had the same problem with my HDMI Sony Bravia TV but it would display on my PC Screen. Kept saying "unsupported signal" or "check the signal and try again". I made a YouTube video about it to help anyone else with the same issue.

If you want it to display, you have to edit the config.txt file.

Change the line:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-256
to
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-256

The rest is optional.
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16
hdmi_cvt=1920 1080 60 6 0 0 0

And it should display on your TV screen.
Hope it works!

Are you using Windows or Linux?

On windows there should be a "boot" partition/drive under My Computer. Open that up. The config.txt should be there. And on Ubuntu Linux "boot" partition/drive should be under Files (the cabinet icon) on the left side bar. You just right click config.txt and open with text editor/notepad.

Sorry I dunno how else to help

Since the user hasn't responded to the questions or specified what the issue is I'll assume this has been resolved.
