In OFW, you can also say:

ok .hdmi

That will wait for you to plug in HDMI (thus testing the
insertion-detect hardware), read the EDID information (thus testing the
DDC lines), and automatically choose either 720p or 1080p depending on
what the monitor supports (thus testing the main HDMI signal lines).
