Hi Guys, I have looked all over but can't seem to find an answer. I have a HD media dock hooked up to my 7" display in my truck. It works great but the resolution makes everything (espescially the mouse arrow) very small. Is there a way to change the resolution so all the icons on the bottom are larger? I have tried the "display" setting at the top but there are no options in the drop down menu. Any help would be awesome!

what I found out that worked for me was plug the photon into via docking station into a different tv then plug it back into the tv that you want and on the screen will say new display detected or something and from there the resolution menu will open allowing you to adjust it to whatever you like

When I hook up my prime in r my 720 p TV everything works great, shows the whole screen. But when I hook it up to my 1080p screen it cuts off the outer edge if the screen all the way around. Thick enough to barley see the apps icon on the home screen. But it also does this on my Acer a 500, so I think it is a android issue. Is there a setting that I have never seen before to fix this?
Also I made sure its not the zoom, wide or stretch feature on the TV

this is an issue with your TV enabling overscan of the HDMI image. on my panasonic plasma TV i had to troll through the advanced picture settings and change the "HD Size" to "Size 2". i don't know why panasonic makes this the default but that's how it goes. once that setting was made the display was a perfect 1080p crop. changing zoom/wide/stretch doesn't solve this problem because all that does is adjust how a sub-1080p image is presented on the 1080p surface.

My TV used to do the same, it's as he says: find overscan, give it the boot!

It's just the settings on your TV.
You will need to choose a different aspect ratio on your TV settings
That's what i thought, but when i when in the image settings, i just saw things about color, brightness... I got a bravia...

I don't use Sony but there will be a settings for aspect ratio somewhere. Take your time and look for it.
There are many options on Samsung; full screen, crop, 16:9, 16:10, zoom etc

If you have had a thorough look through the image settings then it may just have it's own dedicated button on your remote.
I have a Panasonic Viera and I have a button on my remote which is called "16:9". This is the only way I can change aspect ratio.
Look on your TV or your remote for a dedicated aspect ratio button sometimes it's a square with an arrow in it. Obviously it's differnet for different models.
Either look in your manual, or google it.
Your TV will definitely have a way to change aspect ratio, you just have to find it.
I found the button, few choices but.none that makes it fit or even smaller...

I bought a MK802 for a Car PC project that I am doing. I use to have a Windows based Car PC, so I already have six 7inch VGA w/ touchscreens installed. I bought the MK802 specifically for salvaging the screens and because of Androids mobile diversity.
Issue 1: The touch panel is USB based. I plug it in and a mouse pointer pops up on the screen. I am able to move to the left and right correctly. But up and down are inverted, so when I push on the top of the screen, the pointer is at the bottom and when I push at the bottom, it appears on the top. Is there a config file I can edit? maybe switch the commands for up and down?
Issue 2: The MK802 are built for high definition displays with high resolutions. I used a HDMI to VGA converter to convert it to the port I need. Issue is that the screen can only work at a resolution of 800 × 480 (1,152,000) pixels w/ display format: 4:3(800*600 default), 16:9 is optional. When I plug the two together, the screen turns to a red color. Thats with MK802 on 720p. Now if I change it to 480p, I can see the screen, but its not sitting correctly. Is there a file to adjust the resolution to a lower one that will make the screen happy?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think this can be done in screen. I remember seeing that in its option menu. I will test today and see if it works. Also, I noticed that I cant adjust the the format on the MK802. I had screwed something up and flashed the ROM to their supposed latest ROM. It adds a ton of features that seemed to be missing before, but has taken away other features like resolution adjustment.
How did this ever turn out. im looking into to doing something very similar. what do you use for sound processing. any help would be awesome.
I've been using the samsung MHL adapter to plug my Note 2 and S3 into my monitor, but for some reason when im just on the homescreen in landscape, screen is cropped just a little bit on all sides. the status bar is maybe 75% cut off and the other sides are about the same. I have no idea what adjustments can be made on the monitor to get it working perfectly. also, the monitor says its in 1080i mode and the colors a little washed out. I dont know if this is due to it being piped through MHL or if i can also fix that but any help would be much appreciated.
for the record, I am connected to the monitor now and using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to type this all out. the Note to has become my new computer and it's working perfectly.
I don't mean to bump this post for no reason, but I've been looking all over the Internet and still can't find anything that solves the issue. I was hoping there was a setting somewhere on my monitor that would change the display resolution, but so far I haven't found anything that actually changes that anywhere on the monitor.

Okay, for the people who have crop issues. Have you tweaked the display in the settings of your computer monitors and/or TVs? If you go to your display settings for your monitor and/or TV, look to see what the screen mode it's on. Your problem could be that the picture on the display is zoomed in and not set to natural. If that's the case, the different screen mode will show everything that's being inputted to the display.
EDIT: If for some reason your monitor doesn't have this setting (Mine does), then if you haven't already, try experimenting by changing the resolution of the display.

Hi.
Yes, i have, I9300, i bought multimedia stand for note II and it works like charm. One small problem. Screen resolution of my monitor is 1200x1600, and what resolution S3 has - you know. Is there any way or program that will change screen resolution after connection S3 with monitor to the 1200x1600? It looks not good when S3 give me his native resolution, all blurry and crappy view on the monitor.
Stand has 3x USB, 1xHDMI, 1x3.5jack, and place to connect charger that has 5V 2A. For curious ones i have bought that device here that is Polish shop but pictures you can see there.
Anybody know is there any way to make that phone use 1200x1600 screen resolution after connection to that base?
Oh, one more question, that base make phone to use landscape mode, but when i use skype, or camera, it works in normal mode, and screen is blinking till my camera is running. When i turn my camera off - phone is using FULL SCREEN MODE!! The same situation is in youtube app and when i am watching movies. It uses screen resolution that my monitor has.
Anybody can help me with that?
Nope, there's nothing you can do with hdmi resolution -plenty of similar posts but none I've read found a solution. Can't make any sense of your second question.
Oh, sorry, it`s hard to me to translate that straight from polish ok i try again: Camera. For example: When my cellphone is connected to that base, and i`m using skype, when i turn on my front or back camera, person who i talking to view me on side, like 90 degrees to left. Cellphone is forced to use landscape mode on that base and only camera is working normally (neutron music player too ;P )
Another fact that normal screen is not on full screen, on top and bottom there is black stripe - i understand why. And skype, youtube or other movies is using fullscreen mode.
Other soft for s3 supporting that connection to base?
