My experience is that it will default to whatever the maximum resolution it detects when you turn it on with the HDMI connected.
Are you getting a cropped 1080p desktop on your 720p TV? One of my HDMI ports is busted on my TV and that cropping happened to me when I tried to connect my Q to the TV via an HDMI -> Component converter. Plugging it in direct to HDMI with the TV already on when I booted it fixed it for me
i am having a similar issue, all boxes are checked and it is situation normal, but it cuts off all edges, may swap HDMI ports later
Sorry that here might be a wrong area to post this thread, but as a newby, I don't have right to post in another section...
I am using an LG 1080i (max) LCD TV at home and when I connect my newly et OUYA to it , it shows nothing on the screen.
As far as I know, my LG tv supports 720p also, where all others gaming device of mine (Xbox360/PS3) work flawlessly with it.
I learnt from the support area that OUYA should support 1080P & 720P, and it will detect and change the setting automatically upon HDMI connection. I test my OUYA with another 1080p Sony TV and it works just fine, so it's not my OUYA got damaged.
I've tried the 720p mod too. It shows 720p signal on the sony tv but again no luck on the LG tv.
Can any of the professionals here might give me some hints on solving this so that I can start enjoying my OUYA experience?
There's no such thing as a 1080i LCD. Your TV is faking the 1080i output (or just accepting the input). It probably runs at 1360x768 or whatever that weird resolution is. I would assume your TV simply doesn't accept the true 720p signal, but I could be wrong. If you have an XBox 360 or PS3 (or a laptop) you could try connecting them and setting them to 1280x720 and see if it works.

Type to force it to 1080p and hope your TV can cope. If not try to force it to 720p and see what happens. Most tv's that will do 1080i also will do 720p. I know mine does not report 1080p as an accepted mode because it was made before 1080p was on consumer electronics.
You force it via build.prop or the mod collection thing if you are not comfortable editing the build.prop.
Hi
I have a Justop K10A TV dongle, which I'm using as a car computer running Android. Everything is working fine other than the screen resolution via HDMI.
It's putting out 1080p and my display is only 800x480. Can anyone direct me as to where i can perhaps sort this out?
Thanks

I could use some help.
I tried resetting back to factory settings. I originally had it connected through my yamaha receiver. I thought that was the problem but then I connected it directly to the projector. Still the same result. stuck at 480p. I've tried it on my 720p plasma and it works fine. There are no video output settings I can change apart from optimize for resolution or framerate in developers options.
Tried switching HDMI cables also.
There is no options on the projector to force resolution, since it auto detects resolution.
After more troubleshooting, seems this is an HDCP/EDID issue with the nexus player and projector combination.
Google Play Movies will only play a blank screen with sound.
Tried switching to a 1080p monitor with a movie playing and it shows up fine on the monitor. Auto switches to the correct resolution and keeps on playing while hot swapping the cables.
I tried chromecast on the projector and it works fine at 720p resolution.
At this point dont know what else I can do.
I've had problems with my Acer H5360 projector, which apparently displays the wrong black levels. It's also had EDID problems before (the chip was not read-only, and got corrupted) and different devices handled the default fallback differently. Is it possible your EDID is corrupted?
I dont belive the projectors edid is corrupted because my receiver lists all the capable resolutions it supports. Chromecast works fine, ps3 auto detects all the resolutions including 3d. Only having the issue with the nexus player. It defaults to 720*480 60hz. I coonected the nexus player to my monitor and it automatically showed 1080p. Flashed the latest update that was released. Still no luck when i reconnected it.
If you take a look at the other thread, the EDID for that guy's system showed that it supported 1080p, but the first timing it declared happened to be a lower resolution, and the Nexus Player just picked that one and went with it, not checking for a higher supported resolution.
That should be something they can fix with a software update, so hopefully they're aware of it and maybe we'll get an update sooner than later.
Got the same problem, same projector, my workaround was to use my old google tv (sony nsz-gs7) and use it as a bypass so my projector would detect it's a 720p projector -_- until they find a workaround....
Did anyone find a solution for this problem? Having the same issue on my Optoma.
Thnx
Hi Everyone,
I just got a Nexus Player and connect to my TV.
Everything is good except the resolution stays on 720P.
My TV does support 1080P, since all other devices use 1080P resolution.
And Nexus Player should also support 1080P.
Does any one know if there is a way to manually setup the resolution on Nexus Player?
Thanks a lot.

The TV screen resolution will still stay at 720p, but the Nexus TV screen resolution should be 1080p ! Their is a way to verify this via the app Screen Specs found at the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MTMDevelopers.ScreenSpecs ! If you cannot get this app let me know. Another way to verify this is via the AnTuTu BenchMark app!

Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply.
However, if the TV screen shows the signal is 720p, that means nexus player sends 720 picture to the TV via HDMI, as a result, you will see a 720 picture, which I expect to see a 1080P picture.
I have no idea why these app shows 1080p in the system, but as long as it doesn't send 1080p to the TV via HDMI, we can't get 1080 quality, right?
If the TV is 1080, but received a 720 signal, that means it is not pixel to pixel picture, the picture is not clear.
Is there a way to force the player to send 1080P signal via HDMI? Will Root support this?
Thanks a lot.

Everything you are saying is correct, but the Nexus TV Player will not override the built in 720p TV Screen resolution ... Yes, the Nexus TV Player is sending a 1080p signal to your 720p TV, the 1080p signal is being down graded to 720p ... In order for you to get full 1080p screen resolution from your Nexus TV Player, your TV will have to support 1080p screen resolution.
Now if your TV supports 1080i/1080p and you have a cable service, their is a way to go into the cable box to change the screen resolution. Any other way, it would have to be changed via the TV settings.

Unless I'm mistaken you appear to be misunderstanding the original issue, his TV can support and other inputs work at 1080p with it, but for some reason he suspects that his Nexus is only outputting 720p, at least that is what his TV thinks its getting.
This appears to happen to other people also, without a decent resolution, hoping that M preview 3 will contain something positive.

I get the same issues. I purchased two Nexus players today, primarily for running Kodi.
The first of these is connected via a Home Theatre receiver to a 1080p TV and is displaying the Nexus Player content at 1080p.
I have a second home Theatre Receiver connected to a 1080p projector and is using the following resolutions:
[li]720p : Nexus Player running Android 5.1.1
[li]1080p : Apple TV 3
[li]1080p : Sony Bluray Player
I also tried swapping the inputs to the Home Theatre receiver to see if the output resolution changes from the Nexus Player. The Nexus Player is refusing to show the content at 1080p. There is also no way to force the output resolution. It certainly makes the viewing experience terrible for HD content on the Play store or via Kodi.
The Nexus Player and Android TV really needs work to improve settings available for manually configuring the output resolution.
Hi Guys - I'm also stuck at 720p output from my nexus player. Have there been any developments on unlocking 1080p?
Does anybody know if there is a fix to this? I just bought a nexus player and it is outputting 720p to my TV. I've searched at various websites and I couldn't find any solutions to this. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!!
I'm having the opposite issue.. hooked up to a cheap 720p TV and it outputs 1080, which the TV fails to convert properly, so I loose an inch or so of viewable screen on many apps (launcher seems OK?)
..found some posts that suggest "overscan calibrator" can fix this problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3234854&d=1427641822
..It worked for my particular issue.
if someone cant answer this problem. I'm taken it back because the picture is horrible
same issue here ... running N preview
tried many hdmi cables
I can't even SEE a picture, because I cannot reset resolution from 1080 to 720 . And the many many many responses on xda have been deafening on this issue.
Is there ANY way to manually set resolution??????
Does any alternative ROM do this? Does the new developer preview? Can it be done with any 3rd party apps like overscan calibrator? Any sort of editor?
