📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether booting a Windows 10 computer in BIOS mode will display on a TV connected via HDMI or RGB, and whether a smaller monitor is necessary for boot mode. The original poster questions compatibility with different display connections and sizes. Respondents suggest that compatibility may depend on hardware age and display support, and one offers a workaround by wirelessly streaming from a laptop to the TV instead of relying on BIOS display. Overall, the conversation indicates uncertainty about BIOS display support across different setups but provides practical alternatives.

Hi

Will booting my windows 10 computer in BIOS mode work with my TV that is connected to the HDMI or RGB port? Or does BIOS mode only work with the VGA port?

Also, does it have to be a small monitor (instead of a HDTV) for boot mode?

Thanks for any info

I guess it depends on the age of your hardware? I know some displays with HDMI will show the bios but you'll just have to try it and see.. :)

Not an answer to your direct question, but, at this moment, I am using a better option - a dongle. Using my laptop wirelessly to the tv, in order to watch a video on the much bigger screen.
