Hi Jamie,

Great find! With vga=799 my Serval boots on vt7 every time. As you noted
vga=799 is depreciated and replaced by gfxpayload. You can have the
correct boot image and start on VT7 by adding the following lines to
/etc/default/grub and then "sudo update-grub".

---- I have tested this on the 1600x900 Serval display. Please let me
know the results on your 1920 x 1080 LCD.

add GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX as below.

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080
