Bug Description

I have TV Seiki SE39UY04 with 4k resolution.
For games I want to change it to 1080p, but got this crash instead (half of times, half just remains with 4k resolution).

As TV is connected to laptop with 1080p display (which is usually turned off), I found one workaround:
1) enable laptop display
2) change TV resolution to 1080p (sometimes crashes at this place, once per each 5 successful)
3) disable laptop display

Really annoying bug.

This time it crashed ad step 2 Two times.
