[Q] ICS: Changing Resolution - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I just got a 22" Android "Tablet" with a native Full HD (1920x1080) resolution Screen in my hands. It is a ViewSonic VSD220.
However, it seems that the device does not take full advantage of the resolution by default, it seems to interpolate up the resolution in a 1:2 ratio.
e. g. a Website with a width of approx 980Pixels takes the full screen width and it looks too much upscaled.
So anything looks too big on that large tablet - it may be good for the 10" Standard size.
Is there a way to let the Android device use its native resolution?

Whats the best screen resolution for wallpapers?

Whats the best screen resolution to set a pic as a wallpaper? My first wallpaper was 533x800 in pixels that I uploaded and set as my wallpaper and it came out perfect. It was stretched to fit the entire screen. Anyway I tried to change my wallpaper which is now smaller and when I click on the start menu its got it all in tiles so I have heaps and heaps of them it looks bad. What is the ideal size to crop it too so that it "stretches" to fit the entire screen?
The screen is VGA, so the best resolution would be 640*480 (native VGA). Obvisously if the same images are going to be used elsewhere too then a higher or lower res might be in order (to prevent them looking terrible on the other device).
Give 640x640 a shot, that way you have a good wallp even when you go to landscape.

Changing Screen Resolution to 1920x1080

Hi,
I bought the k1 and rooted it using your tutorials but as I record gameplay to youtube I get the nasty black sides as the native resolution is 1920x1200 I have tried to change it using some apps on google playstore but without sucess it messes up with the controls and the whole system gets messed up.
So as I new to android devices user (ex-iOS ) user I migrated to android but the screen resolution is bugging me is there a way to chage it to native youtube videos 1920x1080?
Thanks
And if you asked I tried different recording softwares and they all fall into de same problem
Native resolution is the resolution of the screen, then you can't do it....
1920x1200 is 16:10 resolution, then i think you can't use a 16:9 like 1920x1080

Crop the screen to 1080p for screen mirroring

Hi, I'm using chromecast with my 1080p projector. Since S8+, all android with 16:9 aspect ratio filled the entire screen. Now because of new aspect ratio the image is cropped. But the source - presentation / photos/ videos is in 16:9, so there is black border around the image, looking pretty bad. Zoom is not solution, because it is decreasing quality. Is there option to crop the S8+ screen to 16:9 for screen mirroring? Thanks!

Too much margins in streaming video

Some fix for the exaggerated lateral margins that it makes in the videos to the screens of YouTube, Netflix, etc.? You can zoom and fill the screen but the video in its original format, has an excessive crop.
In other Xiaomi devices this does not happen.

First of all, I am pretty sure you posted in the wrong category. This should got to Questions & Answers.
Did you ever play GameBoy Color games on the GameBoy Advance?
If yes, you noticed, that all the games had black margins, except you were resizing the image with the L/R button.
The reason for that is that what is being displayed does not match the resolution of the screen. So if your video is 480*240p then it will have margins on a Full HD or 2k display.
Same goes for any device, like your phone. Previous phones did not have margins, because they probably had a screen resolution of precisely 1920x1080p. So most videos will fit perfectly, because that is a very common resolution for videos.
Now the POCO has a higher resolution: 1080 x 2400, which is not perfectly standard. Your video is guaranteed to not have this resolution, as can be seen from the screenshot. So of course there will be black margins. The only way to "remove" the margins would be to resize your video or get an older phone with a resolution of exactly Full HD.
Conclusively, that's not an issue with your phone or whatever. It's an issue regarding different resolutions, which happens to EVERY device on earth that has a display measured in pixels.
Although they are related it's more of the aspect ratio thing than resolution. Common aspect ratio for content on platforms OP has mentioned is 16:9 where our poco has 20:9 screen. 16:9 was the most popular on mobile devices before the "bezel less" era and still is the most popular for TV.
Try to do the pinch outwards gesture to stretch the video to full screen?
Use the Video Toolbox?

📲 Resolution Checker [v0.1]

Hello,
Resolution Checker is one of the many apps aBetterAndroid will release for Android.
What is Resolution Checker? Simple to use and very intuitive, it will show you the resolution of the display but that's not all! There will be 3 types of resolutions:
Bars Resolution - the resolution of the navigation + status bars (vertical pixels)
Resolution - the resolution of your display minus the bars resolution
Real Resolution - the resolution you see in your device's specifications
You should use this application if you want to check that your screen is not a fake one and has the correct resolution/ you're a developer/ you're just curious.
Thank you.
