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
Connected external monitor (Monitor LED 24'' Samsung S24B150BL BTS * 426988 D) to my phone via this adapter : allegro.pl/kabel-mhl-hdmi-dla-galaxy-s4-siv-i9500-2m-adapter-i3504839160.html
And resolution on monitor is 720p but in the same time on S4 is 1080p ... screen is scaling in real time ? Why? How i can change it?
Is there a way to limit the (up)scaling on the HDMI out of my (rooted) Nexus 10? To be more precise: If I connect the Nexus 10 via HDMI to a TV set, can I tell the tablet to limit the signal on the HDMI out to e.g. 720p even if the TV set accepts signals up to 1080p?
The reason I ask this is that I'd like to play low resolution content on the tablet (having lowered its virtual screen size to match the content's resolution) and let the TV set do the upscaling.
Just to be clear: This question is NOT about how to set the (virtual) screen size (which can be done using the "wm size" command)! It's about imposing a user defined limit on the scaling the Nexus 10 does on the HDMI output.
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?
I remember back in the day there was a simple technician menu in all my android phones that lets you change tv out settings like resolution and FPS for when you connect your phone to a tv using hdmi cable.
I have a type c to hdmi and it works great and super smooth with no lag but my tv is 1080p at 16:9.
OnePlus 8 Pro has super wide aspect and i get black bars as well as not seeing the right side of the screen.
How can i change the tv output settings to 1080p at 16:9?
Where did all our old options disappear in these new android versions geez...
Thanks in advance
