I have a small 9" Tft monitor as a display for my Pi. It's set up vertically and works with one exception: the monitor constantly displays what input is active. There is always green text in the corner that was "video". How do I get rid of it? There are multiple video inputs, but I will never be using more than the current one.

    Sounds like a feature of the display, not the PI

     

    What is the make and model of the display and if possible provide a link to its specifications ?

    I agree, its most likely the display.  But I thought when I was testing the display with a different device the green "VIDEO" text went away after a few seconds.  Is it possible to composite video on the Pi isn't throwing out enough power?

    As far as the model or specs, I couldn't tell you.  It was an ebay purchase, arrived in a plastic bag with no paperwork.  Seller had no idea either, he said he bought it at an estate sale.
