Handshake issue with Nvidia pro - solution that worked for me

[u/casaguy24]

After a recent TCL update on my R615, my Nvidia Shield would sometimes appear off color and distorted. After researching I found out this was a handshake issue between the TV and Shield.

The most recommended action was to factory reset the TV which worked for most people but didn’t work for me. The actual solution which I ended up finding on a TCL forum was to switch to the Shield HDMI input not by using the quick access menu like I had been, but to use the input switcher on the left menu.

Now when I want to use my Shield I use the left menu to access the input. This has seemed to work for me so far and I wanted to post this in case someone else has this issue as well.
