Chromebox "no signal" issue with Vizio TV.

Chromebox CN60 Vizio E-221-A1

Chromebox is running Kodi. I powered it off in the morning a few days ago and went to work. When I came home later and powered it up..no signal. I have used 3 different HDMI cables and tested on a separate TV. The Chromebox boots fine and works. Just not on my TV.

I booted my Xbox 360 up on the same TV. Came up in 640x480 and looked awful. No sound. I looked in the settings and the Xbox was identifying it as a DVI connection. I turned off auto discovery and rebooted. Sound came back and I could manually change to 720P.

So I figure hey..somehow my port has gotten wonky on me and that's why my Chromebox won't get a signal. I power cycled. Nothing. Restored TV to factory defaults. Nothing. I'm running out of ideas.

The fact that I've verified it works, the HDMI cords work, and that it affected two devices (Xbox and Chromebox) makes me think it's a Vizio issue. Nothing changed or was altered it any way. This is a "random" issue that is plaguing me. Unfortunately other than power cycling and factory restore I'm not sure there's anything else I can even do to it. I originally thought the port itself was dying, but being able to correct the issue with the Xbox makes me think somehow it's confusing the connection and I don't know how to fix it.

I'm at my wit's end and would love any help!
