Custom modeline is accepted but produces no signal (HDMI extenders, scalers, switchers)

If the display is not connected directly but through an HDMI extender, scaler, matrix switcher, or similar AV device (e.g. Extron, Crestron), a modeline generated with {{ic|cvt}} or {{ic|gtf}} may be accepted by {{ic|xrandr}} (the output reports the new resolution as active) while the screen itself shows no picture. This happens because such devices are built around the fixed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEA-861 CEA-861/CTA-861] timing table used by HDMI/TV equipment, and their receiver chips may refuse to sync to a VESA CVT-generated timing even at the identical resolution and refresh rate, since CVT and CEA-861 define different blanking intervals (and therefore a different pixel clock) for the same active resolution. This can happen even when the device's own EDID does not advertise the resolution at all: some devices' EDID under-reports what their receiver hardware can actually lock onto.

- Lesson: Human instructions are uncertain. Minimally invasive preferences. Do not convert everything else into paper clips. Keep "everything else" constant unless asked for.
