Bug Description
It was fine with 17.04 and all latest updates but after upgrade to 17.10 there is an issue.
At boot the UHD tv on hdmi is complaining that 720x480 60Hz is unsupported and screen is displaying nothing.
With another monitor connected on display port looks like the higher resolutions on hdmi are not handled properly.
VGA is an RX480.
After setting a viable resolution for the UHD tv 1920x1080 it is usable.
After reboot the login screen is still detected at the unworkable 720x480.
Blindly doing a login makes the new display setting to get applied and it works.

The tv is a 43" 3840x2160 samsung an by chance was misdetected as a 83" one
In this event it was working at native resolution and had the login visible.
I tried but I'm unable to make this happen at will.
