<p>I have a 42 inc LG (42LG70). I have a kodi box and need to make the setting into 720; I believe the TV works on 1080. How do I make the TV to switch to 720?</p>

<p>My TV works but from time to time the screen goes back for a couple of seconds...I've been told it is due to the 1080/720 resolution issue.</p>

<p>Any tips please?Thanks.</p>

Who or what led you to believe the black screen issue stems from the fact that you're playing 720p footage on a 1080p screen?
