Hello there,
I have purchased a mecool m8s pro tv box 2gb/16gb version to use with my spare ho led display.
The display has a vga input with 1366*768 pixel resolution @60Hz.
I have connected the box using a hdmi to vga adapter.
The box has only 1080p or 720p output options.
Display says input out of range for 1080 p.
The picture confines to a corner (occupying around 75 percent of the screen) but not full screen if 720p is selected.
Is there a way to set the output resolution to match that of the display?
I have tried scaling apps from play store, they did not work.
Please suggest a solid way to do this.
Thanks a lot for the expert help.

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!
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 am using Measy U2A Dual-core Mini PC dongle with original Android 4.1 and Compaq 1720 monitor which offers 1280x1024 resolution. I am using a HDMI to DVI-D passive converter to connect the monitor. I do get 1280x720 resolution so the screen look like stretched vertically.
Is there any easy way to change the resolution to 1280x1024 which will make it more appropriate?
I tried changing in the Screen -> HDMI Mode -> 1280x720P but there is no option for 1280x1024.
On my Samsung s9+, using the "Smart View" feature allows me to view the screen and video (from, for instance, the TiVo app) on my fire stick. On my M5, using the "MirrorShare" feature, the screen sharing works right up till video starts playing, then all I see mirrored are the video controls, but not the video itself, it is all black (the sound comes through though). Anyone know why this would be? Is the M5 screen resolution too high to display on a 1080 fire stick or something? (But the samsung has a higher resolution than 1080 display too). Just curious. I can stick with the phone for screen sharing for now.
I got an old Samsung S8 with some widescreen display, now I want to connect it to a 4k tv but I would like to use the whole screenspace without black bars. So can I set my phone to output 16:9. Maybe using Tasker?
Ok I got it done. Using Tasker with "run shell":
wm size 2160x3840
dont forget to check "use root" puts the device in 16:9, and I'm using the external screen resolution here, If I do something like HD it will only output HD and I want to have it in 4k.
Going back works with the internal screen settings menu or you create another task with the devices original resolution and aspect ratio.
Also combines nicly with:
setprop persist.demo.hdmirotation=portrait
To have that whole HDMI output in portrait mode.
