Hello,

Have my Fit-PC2 configured on my LAN as a 24/7 music/browser server - display is my Panasonic plasma HDTV at 1920x1080p resolution on the HDMI2 input, and audio output to my A/V receiver. Works great.

But if power fails, even briefly, and the Fit-PC2 shuts down, it will reboot to 640x480x16colors. Turning on the TV to manage it, right-clicking Properties/Settings doesn't even present other resolution/color options.

The workaround is to turn on the TV and AVR first, then reboot the Fit-PC2, after which it seems fine.

So it seems no matter the video settings configured on the Fit-PC2, if the HDMI hi-res TV isn't powered on and connected, it will reboot to the lowest possible video quality after power fail.

Is there any way around this? A setting I'm missing? It would be great to simply press the On button to restart the Fit-PC2 after a power failure without having to fire up the whole HDTV system. I mostly manage the Fit-PC2 over my LAN with VNC rather than directly.

I'm planning to add a UPS to power the computer; that should take care of it, but I've never seen this behavior with other PCs.

Thanks for any insights.

I'm not sure there is an easy workaround for that. The display driver negotiates supported resolutions during boot, and attempts to set it to a fixed resolution when there is no display has not been successful so far.
