Nowadays, OLED screens are dominating cellphones, which have a critical potential problem as screen burn-in if you watch videos long time and high brightness with fixed picture parts such as TV program's banners, logos, letterbox black bars, etc. To prevent burn-in, I usually crop the video picture to make it full screen on my cellphone to make sure no any letterbox black bars appear, then I video pan the picture up or down to move the banner or logo out of the phone screen. Usually I don't need to zoom in as an extra step to sacrifice any more picture(meaning crop more picture) in order to move all static part of the picture out of the screen. Just crop to full screen and a simple pan is enough and it'll work like a breeze. Such is what I do with nPlayer Pro. While MX Player Pro does not allow this as it seems to me. Cos it doesn't limit the boundaries while I pan the video up and down. It's simply a random move like out of control that actually always results in worse scenario for preventing burn-in. Cos you easily move the whole picture's edge into the screen in any one direction. This creates more burn-in cause instead of solution. You just cannot do it perfectly to make sure at least 2 sides of the picture edges are aligned with the screen while you only move in the other 2 directions meanwhile never have any picture edge inside the screen.
For example, watching a Bloomberg TV video(16:9) with a Samsung Note10+(19:9), I need (1) to crop to make it full screen, then (2) to move the picture down to hide the always shown banner from showing on screen. While doing step (2) with MX Player Pro, it's not humanly possible not to move the picture in either left or right direction, thus it always creates an extra black bar either on the left or right. And yet I don't want to zoom in to solve this as I don't want to unnecessarily sacrifice any more portion of picture. I want keep as much picture as possible on my screen. The other thing is while moving the picture down in this case, you easily move too much picture out of the screen and create an unwanted black bar on the top of the screen, while I just need the top edge of the picture aligned with the screen top. If there are limits for edge alignments, each move will be so easy and Video Pan will function like a charm. Otherwise this function just feels half baked and not practical. Seems to me that there's no point to move any picture edge within/into the screen when it's not in. All picture edges need to be either aligned with the screen edge or outside of the screen edge when you pan a video in crop & full screen mode. Never inside.
So, please add move limits to all 4 directions for Video Pan. This will make MX Player Pro perfect. Thank you so much!

Clicking still photos is fine, but the record video screen has a miserably small viewing area in the center of the screen (about 1/4th of the screens size).
In regular photo mode, the display is full screen. How do I fix this? Any tweaks or other programs etc?
What I want:
Is there a way to keep the navigation bar with the buttons always visible, even when running full screen apps like games or watching videos? I want the the status bar and navigation bar to stay completely out of control of the app (ideally to be on completely black background which would look aesthetic on oled screens). The app can then use the middle of the screen with aspect ratio of 17:9 or 17.5:9 or whatever remains from the 18.5:9 aspect ratio.
My main reasons to do this:
1) I want the to see clock, notifications and status all the time without having to pull from top which i don't reach well due to too tall aspect ratio
2) I don't consider the top and the bottom to be a true screen real estate as the corners are rounded which means that if actual content extends until the top/bottom edge its corner are cut anyway (which could be even text).
3) I still want to be able to interact with the whole app screen but I don't reach the top edge very well with my thumb.
4) Most of the content is in 16:9 format but the screens these days are tall and ugly so I wouldn't lose on anything.
What I've tried:
1) Playing around with the option "Allow app to use full screen" which is not available on some apps supposedly optimised for full screen and which doesn't seem to be doing anything on a bunch of others.
2) Trying to use third party apps for alternative navigation bars which indeed are always visible but they are covering the content provided by the app which is even worse.
What I'm willing to do:
Install custom roms
Use root permissions
Xposed modules
Anything else which requires similar level of understanding of android
(If nothing else works, then spend some time modifying the codebase of android, although this would be completely new ground to me and would probably need some good pointers to start with)
(I just replaced my Oneplus2 which served me really well with Xiaomi 9T Pro, currently running MIUI, replacing it with Lineage as soon as Xiaomi gives me full rights to use my phone including the right to unlock the bootloader but based on my research it seems that this is not a device specific problem)

Hey, I know that quite a time has passed, but have you ever been able to find a solution for this?
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)
Hi all, I have a Galaxy S21 + and saw two circles in the screen visible in direct sunlight, located vertically in the top right (the sun must be very strong, for example at noon or in summer). In addition, I also see a spot where the fingerprint reader is (but I think this is normal).
Do you also see two circles in the upper right, vertically, in direct sunlight?
I insert a photo of a xiaomi taken from the internet, for the moment I can not take a photo of my phone. The defect is as in the picture, but the two circles are in a vertical position (and not horizontal).
Meh... keep it out of direct sunlight if you value your display!
If not visible at any brightness in a normally lite room, it's ok I would think.
Use Screen Test to test it.
Is anyone having issues with the resolution in some apps?
I've noticed that in some games and apps I use, it seems like the image is bigger than what's displayed on the screen. Like the sides may be cut off a little or the corners might be hidden. It particularly shows to in Star Trek Timelines when the X in the upper right corner is mostly obscured.
Is there any way to adjust the on screen resolution so it fits the screen better?
Thanks!
