HDMI Out - Not Full Screen? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed when I connect the N10 to my LCD TV with native resolution of 1368x768 using a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable that the image doesn't stretch all the way to the edge of the display. Instead it leaves black bars on either side of probably 75-100 pixels. Does anyone else notice this?? Is there a setting I'm missing to be able to scale the display to fill the entire screen?

Doesn't fill my TV either, the issue, I guess is that it's mirroring so it won't change aspect, that may be different for videos but I haven't tried.

Only way to change the aspect ratio is through your TV. My 50in Philips LCD HD, has settings option to change the display view. Maybe in later firmware updates they may include HDMI options through the device.

Yep, its the aspect ratio. TVs have standardized on 16:9. Android phones and 7" tablets are also 16:9, but since 10" tablets are meant to be held in landscape Google's set the standard to be 16:10 so the soft keys dont take too much of the display away from actual content.
Put in laymans terms, the Nexus has more height per width than your TV, so it either must use black bars, stretch, or crop. Black bars look the best of those options.

Good to know its not just me or my HDMI cable. If this issue is important to you to get resolved, please check out this link and star the issue. With enough votes Google might provide us more options to scale the mirrored output or select a custom resolution in a future release of Android.

It fills your screen when you watch a Movie or TV show though right?
So it is definitely possible for the Nexus to send the signal.

Why no 720p display?

It struck me as a little odd that the display isn't 720p like the Galaxy Nexus, but in fact 1280x768. Especially with the on screen buttons which will use up some vertical pixels, I'm afraid that the display might almost seem not wide/tall enough. Is it just me?

Maybe because the screen is 4.7 inches vs. the Gnex which is 4.65?

You realize 1280x768 is bigger than 720p (1280x720) right? As in, it will have more pixels than the Galaxy Nexus.
You will probably lose about 48px with the on-screen buttons, so it will actually be 1280x720

Pixel density should actually be higher than the gs3, due to the screen being smaller, I'm pretty sure if you exclude the pixels taken by the on screen buttons, it's exactly 720p.

768 is the horizontal resolution
The physical buttons are almost always on the bottom.
if the bottom bars were 48 pixels you're subtract that from the vertical resolution.
1232x720 usable.

Except that in a full screen app, they'll disappear anyways, such as when you're watching a video, exactly like every other nexus device.
The nexus 4 PPI is higher (320 vs 316) however the big difference is that there are 33% fewer sub pixels in the pen tile display of the Galaxy Nexus. This is where you will see the difference, not in the additional 4 PPI.

It actually is 720p. 1280x768. Nav bar = 48px. 768-48=720. 1280x720.

Although it'd be 1232x768.
Either way, I see it as an advantage. There's more screen real estate in the end, even if it's only an extra 48px in width. Assuming it's centered, when watching 720p video there will be a 24px gap above and below the video. Not that big of a deal. If it is, you could fit it to the screen so there isn't any wasted screen space.
Anyone who had a Galaxy Note like me would appreciate a nice 8:5 ratio screen with the extra pixels. 720p is a very loosely used term. Why complain when you get even higher resolution?
I wasn't complaining; just wondering if this would make a big difference in normal usage. The general consensus on the thread seems to be that although it will result in a 1232x768 resolution not counting the buttons, the only real "issue" will be small black bars when watching a 16:9 movie. Thanks guys!
Hi!
This is almost the only thing that bothers me: those buttons... I think this choice is really weird. Why don't they put normal buttons under the screen? Because of this choice, I feel there is a big black part down for nothing. It's ugly...
In addition, the buttons, are they automatically hidden in all applications? And when the Nexus is used with a TV, even the nav bar is displayed?
Yes and no. It hides when you're playing a movie, YouTube video, etc. regardless of whether it's hooked up to a TV, I believe.

There are 1280pixels vertically.. However, the default navbar takes up 48 of those pixels.
So the screen is a bit wider allowing it to have 768 pixels (720+48)
So to make up for the on screen nav bars they have made the display a little wider.
The aspect ratio suffers though as it will not be perfectly 16:9
Okay. There seems to be some confusion here. Horizontal resolution defines a display's height (in pixels, not inches; and assuming all resolutions are defined in landscape). Vertical resolution defines a display's width. The assumption that the nav bar's 48 pixels effectively make it a 720p display is false. The nav bar subtracts from the display's vertical resolution, not it's horizontal; which makes it 1232x768. It does not make it 1280x720.

The nav bar's 48 pixels change the display's aspect ratio from 5:3 to 77:48 (in landscape).

Read the post above yours. The 48px comes from the 1280, not the width which is 768. I think a mod should really delete all of the other posts except the one from @Mister_Mxyzptlk and close this thread because all it seems to be doing is causing confusion.
really who gives a ****, does your screen not look awesome?

Does the display on LG Nexus 4, really 4.7" and 1280x768 resolution ?

As the days goes on and i look at that smartphone that i want it, of course, i ask myself (for the start) if is an optical illusion or i see right and what is about i talk:
compared wiht LG Optimus G, the screen is same but resolution could not be really same, cause a little space down is eat by the capacitive buttons (see in picture of Engadget review, below, or here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/)
So, the ask is, Does the display on LG Nexus 4, really 4.7" and 1280x768 resolution if 15% of that space is capacitive buttons and dont show anything else ?

The LG Nexus 4 do not have capacitive buttons. Neither do it take up 15% of the space.
Google posted the spec themselves, they would not lie about it, that would result in a class action lawsuit.

The important detail is that when watching full screen videos, the buttons auto-hide and you can use that screen space.

Technically, 1280x720 is usable, the rest is used on the software keys
Not true, you took the value off the wrong dimension.

Oh, so I did, derp
Maybe 1200x768 then
The buttons take up 96 pixels vertically on the Galaxy Nexus. Assuming the same size, that leaves 768x1184 "usable" resolution at 4.45 inches.
so the screen is not 16:9 anymore...but 15:9 -->1280x768 pixels
so if we play a 720p video in landscape,we will have a black bar up or down the video?

With the Nexus 4 I would say put the onscreen keys in the bezel area. (Where the hard keys would go) It would make it a 5 inch screen in theory but at all times you would have the full 4.7 of screen real estate to use.

no... im pretty sure he said he wanted a screen with a thinner bezel on the bottom so that with the on screen buttons, it looks only just bottom heavy (in terms of black)
There seem to be a lot of confusion about the screen size of this device due to google including the on screen menu buttons to the advertised screen size. I have made a lot of research on this topic and contacted several testers and here is the deal... Similarly to the Galaxy Nexus, the 4.7" full screen mode (without on screen menu keys) only activates when watching videos. No other apps such as games, gallery or browser support it. The external dimensions of the phone are those of any other 4.7" phone, but the usable screen never exceeds 4.45" due to the on screen keys always present, except for videos. 16:9 videos, due to the aspect ratio of the N4, will have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and won't be truly full screen either, but with a better 4.6" diagonal... Note that if you happen to shoot photos or videos at native screen ratio you will then have black bars on each side of your TV. A mod was made available for rooted Gnex to hide the on screen buttons and use them only when needed. Without it, the N4 is a big phone with a small screen compared to the competition.

That's perfect! I think a study showed that the ideal screen size for the average hand is 4.5" and that's pretty darn close and just right under it!
The left over screen size is perfectly fine and the fact that the soft keys auto hide make it much more convenient when doing things such as watching videos. The size of the screen makes me a happy camper!

Nexus 10 Screen On Note 10.1 ??

guys would it be possible to take off the screens in each tablet and install the nexus 10 screen on the note 10.1 ?? Wouldnt that give us the resolution capabilities for it , and at the same time replace the battery and get the NFC ??

The Note has an inductive display to support the S-Pen and the N10's display is capacitive and the pen won't work. So, pick one.
so the screens are not separated like a digitizer and the actual screen ?? and sorry for these question im ignorant when it comes to things like these.
Pretty sure the Exynos 4 that's inside the Note 10.1 doesn't support the Nexus 10's screen resolution. So it won't work as far as I know.
The screen wont work for mainly two reasons the wavecom chip wont work with a capacative screen and it does not support higher resolution then what we have on the note. That is why not has that resolution
The processor does not support that high resolution.
These are main two reason apart from many other. Its like fitting a trucks body on a cars chassies

Here's the difference between the two displays. An inductive display picks up an electro-magnetic signal from the pen where a capacitive display only can respond to physical contact. Based on the manufacturing complexity I'd guess the Note's display cost Samsung more than the FHD+ display on the N10.

Thank you guys , just using my imagination
I didnt know that the screen resolution mattered to the cpu , but then again a computer monitor will go as far as the graphics in a pc allows it ..
Yes the same concept works over here, it depends on how much the mali gpu allows it go to. Secondly as the resolution increase the processing power requirement also increases.
You can have insane resolutions but how pratical are they since most of the apps are developed for a 5inch screen.
This was posted in the N10 forum and sort of describes the challenges of inking on a capacitive display by someone who tried to solve them. To me, either inking works well or why bother. Using a kluge might get the job done but would be very frustrating. I'd rather live with the 720P display (which is still better in contrast and brightness than the N10's).

I made the app Writepad Stylus to do precisely that, on the Asus Transformer 101. Palm rejection on a capacitive screen, without weird zoning boxes. It worked pretty well and I made a lot of money from it. But there are a ton of issues with that algorithm that I ran into when I got the Asus Transformer Prime, which ultimately made me give up on the app:
Bad capacitive screen sensitivity. The Transformer Prime and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 both have awful sensitivity settings, so the writing comes out looking like an 8 year old's scribble. It doesn't register all the input points. It doesn't start recording points until AFTER you move the stylus a certain distance. Ugh. There's an app that sorta fixes that called TouchscreenTune, but it requires root, and the settings for that are really hard to calibrate. Even after messing with that, it's still not as good as on the Xoom or the original Transformer.
Touch screen can't handle straight lines. If you try to draw a straight line horizontally or vertically, it comes out straight. If you try to draw a diagonal line, it comes out wiggly. This is also particular to certain tablet screens. Who knows whether a particular tablet will have good touch screen or crappy one? No reviewer tests for that kind of thing. You have to go to the store to try it out.
Your hand will accidentally hit the notification or navigation buttons, taking focus away from the app, or accidentally going back to the homescreen. As far as I know, this can happen even with the S-pen. Asus has a "lock navigation bar" feature on their tablets, which is nice. There's no way to hide the navigation bar or disable it while something is going on in app (unless you root your tablet).
Anyway, if someone wants to test these things on the Nexus 10 and report back, I'd be grateful since I can't find these in stores yet. Just try to write as small as you can with a capacitive stylus, and try to slowly draw straight diagonal lines.

You have posted a comparison between a RESISTIVE display and a capacitive/inductive one. The top picture is resistive which is old technology now, it's what the old smart phones and pocket PC's used and had a thin layer of plasticky material for sensing pressure. The note 10.1 uses both capacitive (for fingers) and inductive (for the pen).....and the nexus 10 just uses capacitive, not the screen in the 1st pic in your diagram. As far as I know, no screens use resistive tech anymore.

Nexus Screen quality at high brightness

Hi,
So I opened my nexus 4 today. From what I had seen on YouTube and read was that the screen was superior to galaxy nexus. It is from every angle but I do have a question about its quality on medium to high brightness.
On medium to high brightness I can make out vertical lines of pixels, I suppose, like on my 1366*768 15.6" laptop. I think that there is something wrong because any colored background including the virtual buttons have vertical lines that I can distinguish at mid to high brightness. Even the white block or discs wallpaper can have these lines. Can someone please confirm or deny these vertical lines? Is this the screen technology or just this specific phone that I received?
I have nexus 7 and this has been perfect in every sense. Its not as high resolution as nexus 4 but the pixels are a result of both horizontal and vertical lines colliding resulting in no highly visible vertical lines.
I am not seeing anything out of the ordinary on the two wallpapers you mentioned at max.

It happens at medium to high brightness...Just put the brightness at high and then close in a little bit to the screen and your will notice that on those 2 backgrounds specifically the discs one. Also another way is to open up settings and then look at settings logo on the top left and you can see the blue part with vertical lines.

So many people not seeing it. Maybe it was a bad unit. I don't know how to explain it but once again I will try. When you turn up brightness all the way up the screen is bright but the way the pixels are packed they look like bunch of lines put together.
Think, shredded paper put together again to make a piece of paper. Open up a page of blue background and it should be apparent unless mine was truly a bad unit. If even then no one sees that effect maybe it was the unit that I got.
Also I'm not talking about the settings gray background lines. That'd just the wallpaper which looks like 8 bit that someone mentioned. Looks the same on nexus 7.

Guys, this is an issue with the wallpaper itself, not the phone. Please close these threads.
The pictures and wallpapers you see this on are simply not rendered for the high resolution
and dynamic range of the Nexus4 screen.
The Nexus4 screen is much better than what the picture was drawn on.

You will not see this if you're watching something like the Transformer's movie. I believe what Minddroid said is right. It is an artifact of the crappy image used in the settings screen.
Take a screenshot and put the screenshot on any cheap TN panel monitor and you'll see the same thing (though it is not as obvious because the monitor is a TN. If you have an IPS, it'll be more pronounced. Try displaying the image on an iPhone 5 screen and you'll likely see the same thing)
I initially thought I had problems with my display due to there being gradients on the bubble live wallpaper...but when I took a screenshot and put it on my TN monitor, lo and behold, I see the same thing.
They need to move to high-resolution images....but they won't because majority of android owners are still on low-end phones. Lol.
I see a white banding from top to bottom, size about the ON/OFF sliding button in the Setting screen, and in the position of those buttons also. I think this is a defect but it's normal as many Nex4 suffered this issue. Only noticeable when brightness is 100%
I don't have this issue, I think you should RMA your device.

RMA to have an other device with maybe more important issue ? Hum ...
Actually I have thse line, but i see them only at high brightness or special grey wallpaper or color. it's not very powerfull but not as important as headphone issue or speaker noise.
I'm guessing that a lot of people have these line but not seeing them.
(sorry for my english lol)
RMA is impossible when you buy an US version and you're in Vietnam. Waiting too long for the device and got some sort of imperfect product Anw, I love it, and I think most of people don't notice these lines
Set 100% brightness and use some gray background such as Settings screen, Chrome without any tab and you would see them

Yes, I can see them and I my eyesight ain't even that good. It's definitely not a wallpaper issue, I compare my nexus 4 to a ipad with same wallpaper at max brigthness, you can make out these vertical line on the nexus 4 but nothing on the iPad, you can't really see it unless you look for it. Most of you will say don't look for it, well what is seen cannot be unseen. Also nexus 4 probably have the worst IPS Display ever, vertical line, screen flickering, gamma issue, somewhat washout color compare to other IPS display, and worst viewing angle then other IPS display. Don't get me wrong, it's still very good, but not great like people make it out to be.

Yes, I can see them and I my eyesight ain't even that good. It's definitely not a wallpaper issue, I compare my nexus 4 to a ipad with same wallpaper at max brigthness, you can make out these vertical line on the nexus 4 but nothing on the iPad, you can't really see it unless you look for it. Most of you will say don't look for it, well what is seen cannot be unseen. Also nexus 4 probably have the worst IPS Display ever, vertical line, screen flickering, gamma issue, somewhat washout color compare to other IPS display, and worst viewing angle then other IPS display. Don't get me wrong, it's still very good, but not great like people make it out to be.

Yeah, that why iProducts are more expensive than the others. My display has 1 band of vertical lines that are a little bit brighter than the others, some kind of backlit issue, but never mind as they are only clearly visible on 100% brightness.

Change Aspect ration

HI all,
I'm working on a DIY project to make a arcade cabinet. For this project im bound to a 4:3 aspect ratio screen due to design of the cabinet.
I thought no biggie, but now that i have the shield tv and the monitor i cant get the shield tv to full screen hyperspin.
It always goes to 16:9 aspect ratio.
Is there some way to get the 4:3 aspect ratio ?
Thanks in advance
I have the same issue, the Shield recognizes the resolution (1600x1200), but it doesn't adjust the interface accordingly.
