Whenever I get photos off the internet with higher resolutions than 1080 x 960 and crop them to that resolution they come out a little blurry. I've seen other wallpapers that were very sharp so I know its not this display. Should I crop them to the correct aspect ratio then scale them to 1080 x 960 or what? A response would be much appreciated.

You want to crop them, not scale them. Scaling them will distort and compress the pixels, making it lose quality. Your probably saving the jpg at a low quality, save it at 100%, it really won't hurt anything .

Hello guys I've been converting my videos to 800x480 for awhile and their all fine. I was wondering if I convert them to 1920x1080 would there be a significant difference since the SGSII's native resolution is 800x480. Thanks for answering my question. Oh yeah the resolution the videos come in are usually low quality like 704x400 usually in .rmvb format. Sometimes I do download 720p videos and convert them to 800x480.

I've been converting mine as well, no difference at all. I just maintain the bitrate and it also reduces the file size.
GS II's screen resolution is 480x800. So anything above that resolution is practically meaningless, let alone 720P or 1080P.
Regards.
I can argue about that.

Does anyone know if the Titan is capable of displaying a higher resolution if a future Windows version allowed it, or whether it is physically pixel-locked to 480 x 800?
There is no such thing as being "pixel locked"
However, the screen has 480x800 pixels. If you could raise the resolution, it would look like crap. So you don't want to.
Thanks, I think. I am not saying I want to increase the resolution, I was merely asking if it was possible. For example if Windows 8 came out and the the system supported QHD at 960 pixels high, would the Titan display at 960 px high. I guess you are saying that the screen will only display at 480 x 800 no matter what. TFT monitors are capable of multiple resolutions and I was wondering if the Titan was capable of displaying higher res, that's all.

Has anyone used it with any type of video out like hdmi? That would tell you. However the digitizer on the phone may not support it.
Interesting question though.

Monitors are able to use lower resolution. THey have a maximum amount and can go below. Not above. What your asking isnt available and never will be probably
the phone's Max resolution is 480x800. If WP8 supported higher resolutions, this phone would not be able to go any higher. This is how the screen was built by HTC and all current WP7 phone manufacturers

Thanks, concise, clear answer. Much appreciated!
i was told its not 1080p but its better then 720p ?
1280x800. HD 720 is 1280x720

so slightly better then 720p?
Slightly. It just has added height. It is a 16:10 ratio instead of 16:9. Its not a big difference, and is basically the same thing between 1920x1080 versus 1920x1200.
Personally, the extra height is a plus.
Aspect ratios are a funny beast. HDTV (720p as well as 1080p or FullHD in marketing terms) is 16:9. 800x480, which I consider to be the "classic" Android resolution--it's been more or less standard from the time of the Nexus one, up through the SGS2--has a 15:9 (aka 5:3) aspect ratio, so it is slightly wider when held in portrait than a GNexus. The Note is 1280x800, so at 16:10 (or 8:5) it lies in between the two--not as skinny as a 720p phone, but not as wide as a "typical" 800x480 phone.
On a complete tangent, I miss when 16:10 was the standard for monitors. Most monitors now are 1080p rather than 1920x1200; the latter is really a superior resolution for a computer imo.
Don't forget it uses Pentile display, not RGB, so there are less subpixels than regular screens. With that said, I thought my Note has excellent screen.

So when encoding a video what should I set the resolution too ?

1280x720 to keep the same aspect ratio
No its 1280x800, which is .625 aka 16:10, not .5625 which is 16:9. It doesn't matter though, keep your video at its original ratio, if you want to stretch the video, let the video player do it.
My SGSII pictures were about 2mb in size and the Lumia is only around 400kb, maybe. The SII takes a phenomenal picture compared to the 920 and it makes me wonder if the Nokia is using a ton of compression to keep file sizes down? That would certainly explain the crappy pictures.

It's because your picture settings are on 16:9 aspect ratio and it's only taking a 720 resolution picture. You need to change the picture settings to 4:3 to get the full 8MP resolution.
After doing so, my photos are around 2MB with ISO of 100.
I am interested in this device, but I have a question about the camera.
Is it possible to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio (even though the screen is not 16:9)? And if so, at what megapixels count is it?
To compare: my compact camera has 16 megapixels and in the settings there is a 16:9 aspect ratio available, but at 12 megapixels which is fine.

Is 18:9 and 10 megapixels
Thanks. No P20 lite for me then, although I can crop the pictures to 16:9 myself.
I am not a fan of those new aspect ratio phones, I like 16:9 better.
