Is there a way to have 16:9 aspect ratio via HDMI? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

hi,
It doesn't look good on normal 16:9 external display as 2 black bars on top and bottom.
is there a way to change android resolution to match 16:9 ratio?
I'm ok to have black side bars on phone landscape mode, while output correct 16:9 by type-c to HDMI
tnx

No but you can change the aspect ratio on the tv/monitor so that uses all the available screen

If you download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer and grant root permissions, you can change the phone resolution. Set it to 1920x1080 any other 16:9 ratio which is less than the op7p Res. You will then get black bars on the phone, but you will be able to have a full 16:9 experience on your TV / monitor! Have fun!

There is a paid app that I use which works properly. I use it on my 7 pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lugalabs.resolutionchanger

I found this free app that works

now I need programmatically disable and enable soft keys

[Q] hdmi problem

Hi,
When connecting the asus tranformer, or any other tegra 2 tablet, to the tv I get a wrong resolution.
What happens is that for the 16:9 ratio it cuts about 5% of all the borders of the image. If then I switch on the tv setting from 16:9 to fit screen it works well and I can see the whole tablet screen.
But some tvs don't have that option, and thus the image shows incorrectly cutting a part of the border of the image.
Do you have the same problem? Is there a fix?

NO FULL SCREEN VIDEO - Amazon Prime - Other

Dears,
I'm getting an issue related to videos. When I try to watch a movie, normally with Amazon Prime ( but also with Netflix even with the setting 'play in fullscreen' enabled ), my phone continue to show 2 black bars on left and right side. And the video of course is not shown in a complete full screen mode... On Prime, I try the 'zoom' option but faces of actors have been cutted often.
I can't understand why and what to do. Of course the setting 'fullscreen' is enabled for every video app in the app settings.
Someone has got my same issue ?
- dimensions of PocoX3 screen are 2400x1080 pixels
- fullHD video has 1920x1080 pixels (16:9 aspect)
- if you want to see your video in 1:1 you will have 240 pixels wide black bars on either side of your phone screen in landscape mode
- if you zoom your video you'll loose black bars but your video will be crop on top and bottom, exactly as you described
- completely normal
- if you can live with distorted image, you can with some video players stretch (or fill) you screen in a way no part of video will be cut off (as I do not use amazon nor netlix not sure their players can do this)

Question Screen casting a specific resolution/aspect ratio

I want to screen cast my phone to my tv because my tv doesn't have the discovery plus app.
I can cast my phone no problem but there are black bars on both sides of the picture on the tv. I'm assuming this may be because of a resolution or aspect ratio mismatch between my phone and my tv.
It's there a way to cast to my tv where the image fills the entire screen?
My device is a OnePlus 7 pro
Disable Overscan on your TV box.
change your tv aspect ratio to wide mode or zoom mode whatever you call that thing
The oneplus 7 pro is 19.5 x 9 I'm "casting" using the "Screen Cast" icon in the notification tray. miracast or bubbleunp (not sure which tbh, its an LG tv).
Changing the aspect ratio on the tv doesnt work. I need a phone based solution. I need to be able to just send a 16x9 signal.
When I watch 16x9 content on my phone, there are black bars on the left and right because my phone resolution is 19.5x9 and so im projecting that to a 16x9 screen, its literally casting my whole screen.
@jwoegerbauer I have no such option when casting video from my phone. It's stuck at 16x9

Screen sizing issue on my monitor

I have a RCA 1080p monitor connected to MSI GTX 550 ti through HDMI. My native and recommended resolution is 1360x768 but when I increase size, it shows image zoomed and too blur. I tried resize screen which made my resolution lower as it thought my monitor is low resolution, but there was a black ribbon on left of monitor. But then main issue is blur content and screen issue. Issue is resolved when I use HDMI on my led but issue remains in monitor. Kindly help me out

Hello, sound's like a driver issue. Whether the graphics card or the monitor isn't recognized with it's correct available resolutions. I would reinstall the drivers.
It sounds like you may be running into a resolution issue. The resolution of 1360x768 is not supported by your MSI GTX 550 ti when connected to an HDMI monitor. The highest resolution supported on a 1080p HDMI monitor is 1920x1080. You can try setting the resolution of your monitor to 1920x1080 in the display settings of your graphics card. This should resolve the blurriness and black ribbon issue. If you are still having trouble, you may need to update your graphics driver to the latest version. If none of these solutions work, you may need to get a new graphics card that supports higher resolutions when connected to an HDMI monitor.

Question P11 Pro USBC vĂ­deo 16:9

Any idea if it's possible to display the tablet on an external monitor via USBc in a 16:9 aspect ratio?
Currently PC mode on a monitor has black bars on the side
Hey,
Try an app called SecondScreen, I havent tested with this tablet, but on my oneplus8t when using desktop mode, it does the trick (this app basically changes the phone resolution temporarily - root required)
