hi when i enter in "weptop" mode i cant set highter resolution, actually its 720 and my TV supports 1080p.
the other issue i have its my tv supports @120hz and the problem its some colors sometimes looks weird :S i cant set up to @120 hz the max its @60hz 720p
anyway to change this??? my tv its vizio
Thanks a lot.
1080p is quite a lot for a phone like this, so performance would be bad.
I haven't seen an answer to your question on this forum, however. sorry, cant type fast cause on injury otherwise i'd give a more detailed response

Ok so as far as the 1080p thats too much for our phone to handle and it will not make it any more sharper... and for part 120hz, that's only the output not the input... Every thing out there form dvd's to vhs and xbox's and blu rays spits out a 60Hz signal and what your tv does is it doubles that 60hz and makes it a 120Hz signal which is what you then see... but most likely you dont even have it turned on... Check your settings that would be your best bet...

the thing its i have a laptop and the output its 60hz so the video and some colors looks awfull and same happen with my atrix, my other tv its ok perhaps my 120hz the colors looks like "noise" or weird not all colors and some part of tv that sucks well i was looking 1080p to watch 1080 in youtube xD

I doubt the atrix could render and pipe it over hdmi at that speed. Can't you just use the laptop? I don't notice much between 720 and 1080 videos except for horrendous load times.

Hi there!
So thats kind of a problem. If you plug in your Atrix to an DVI computer-screen, as mine has got 24" 1920x1200 pixel, you cant really get that native resolution?
About performance: as long as you dont watch 1080p youtube-files, it would be alright, I guess...
As the hardware (though the tegra 250 developer board does) is able to output 1080p, is a solution possible?
greez
(edit: I even consider using a kindof HDfury hdmi to vga converter for a beamer in full resolution...)
so now i need worry about 120hz =X
120 vs 60 hz would make no difference on color

if you have the modded webtop, with sudo permissions and lxterminal or something similar, just write xrandr -s 1920x1080 in the terminal and you should get a 1080p res.
the frequency (120 hz vs 60 hz) has NO effect on the colors of your output. it's either an issue with the connector (HDMI cable) you're using, or the TV itself. my guess is something on your TV settings is off, if you're getting the same problem with both the Atrix and a separate laptop.
by the way, a 120Hz capable TV still runs 60Hz images at 60 Hz. There is no "doubling" going on, it's just capable of displaying images with refresh rates up to 120 Hz (higher is more refreshes per second).
i think, that Nvidia Tegra 2 Cant render out 1080p resolution, because this "advantage" will be in Tegra3 (as the part of its specifications).

its weird not sure what its, and well i dont care atm 1080p but i cant turn off my vizio 120hz i test on my parents 60hz FHD and looks great, but in my tv some colors look like washed, well not always some parts of videos like "noise" not sure what else its, even when the hz are the refresh rate its the only different from my mom tv =X
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.

couldnt resist
what is maximum output resolution over HDMI out? it is the same like screen resolution 720 x 1280 with optional upscale to 1080p?
i will connect it to 1080p PC monitor, so i'm wondering about resolution, and picture sharpness
I can't find anything that says exactly what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's whatever resolution the phone is (for the Samsung Galaxy S3 that would be 1280x720). Hope that helps.
P.S. This should be in the Q&A section, not the General section.
If the video you are playing on the S3 is a 1080p video, even though on phone it will be rendered at 720p it will display on the external display at Full HD (1080p).
Same with the videos recorded on the phone. They render on screen at 720p but on external display via the cable will be at 1080p
1080p
Over 9000.

Hi,
1st off I love this phone. I am extremely pleased and have zero complaints so far. Buttery smooth too....
My Question is how is it possible that the screen resolution is adjustable? Does the display turn off pixels? Does it merge pixels? Please enlighten me..
Thanks,
Joel
I'm pretty sure it must be 'rooted' first to allow those changes.

Sorry even though u r pretty sure. This info is wrong. U DON'T need root. Just like samsung graxe ui. On LG V30 u go to display - screen resolution and switch between 720,1080 or qhd+.
But the OP never asked if changing resolution was possible. He most know that we can already change res in the setting. What he is asking is HOW does lowering resolution works.
Im not sure about this but from tv or any pc monitor u can upscale to max reolution of the monitor or downscale to a lower resolution. The pixel are still on but the screen is not push very hard.
Amoled are very power effecient and this has been discuss in the S8 forum for quite sometimes. After all the testing the xda members have been doing it seems that going from QHD down to 1080(full hd +). Doesnt save that much battery (around 5% better battery)
Actually I'm wondering because on a 1080p TV, when you feed it a 720p video, the TV stays 1080p. The video is just enlarged to fit the 1080p display. On the V30 I'm under the impression that the display will actually change. Kinda like having a 3 displays in 1...

U wont see a smaller screen. The screen will stretch out edge to edge but it will look very blurry if u do 720p. Not so much in 1080p mode. So u can say that the software upcales lower resolution. Just like riptide 2 which u can lower or max res in the setting of the game.
Wait, so the software downscales? You sure? Just Android or all apps too? I don't think so. How could software down scaling effect battery life?

The screen is cap at 60 hz. Let say u are playing a game ( this goes with the ui smoothness aswell). Since the screen is cap at 60hz means that the fps is up to 60fps max/cap At 1080p is you play a game that can reach 80fps(cause is not pushing QHD pixel) the cpu/gpu doesnt have to work has hard. So instead of doing 80fps it only have to do 60fps meaning that cpu/gpu doesnt have to work 100% since is able to maintain easily the frame per second require from the 60hz screen.
This is why the new RAZER phone with 120hz screen can do 120fps.
Now if u increase the screen to qhd (1440p+). The same game with higher resolution the frame rate will be much lower. Now. The game probably is reaching 55fps instead of 80fps max (is an example). The screen is 60hz (60fps). So the cpu/gpu is gonna be working 100%. Much harder cause is trying to reach 60fps but it cant. Which equals more power comsuption, hotter device and also cpu/gpu throlling cause of the heat.
I ve tried wm size command but it no longer work since it is Android 12.

Is there any merit to doing that?

I just never see it enable 4K even I m viewing images with gallery app.
So I just want to force it for better experience.

I'm not convinced, if this would be visible. Probably depends on your visual acuity.
Mine is not the best, and for the life of me I can't see the difference between 1440p and 1080p on such a small screen.

There IS it, I ve paid for it, and I WANT it.
And experience will be different for me when viewing large size image in 1:1 scale.
It is just like refresh rate, since there r people cannot get the difference between 120hz and 60hz(or lower). But you cannot just disable higher refresh rate FOREVER just because there r some people cannot distingurish.

It's also to remove unnecessary downscale/upscale when watching a 4k movie. Since most app view the screen as a QHD one, VLC for example, will render a 4k video as a QHD one by downscaling it, then the phone will upscale it back to 4K.
Sure you will probably not see a lot of difference with native 4k as the upscaling technology from Sony is pretty good and you still have the 4K screen resolution giving extra sharpness.
Also, what some people seems to forget, is that the image displayed will always be 4K on this screen, a FHD image will be upscaled to 4K by the phone, and the higher pixel density make it far better than the same FHD content on a QHD screen especially for AMOLED screen that are somewhat blurry on the edge due to the subpixels arrangement.
This being said, you can put the screen in native resolution all the time, just going in the developper option and setting the screen minimal width to 1644pixels to match the 1644*3840 pixel resolution. Doing this, VLC that I tried perfectly render a movie in 4K, but your overall UI is ****ed up and you can barely use the phone. That's not what is wanted. Sony is just boring us for 4 generation with its 4k white list apps. I don't even know what is the recommanded app to watch their 4k HDR spiderman extract.
It's stated that the screen only runs at 4k in certain apps and scenarios, Theres no option to change that.
More accurately: The phone only render graphic at 4k in certain apps and scenarios*
The screen always runs at 4K since it's hardware and number of pixels can't physically be changed. The phone upscale every content to 4K all the time but render some whitelisted app directely in 4K. Still better than proper 2K as the pixels are smaller, but also mean your 4K videos on VLC will be downscaled to 2K by VLC then upscaled back to 4K by the phone, only because Sony didn't whitelist VLC that is perfectly able to run native 4K.
I almost have the same question, but instead of 4K I want to set a global 2K resolution.
4K is way too overkill, but 2K is the best middle ground between display clarity and battery life.
that is what you basically have, 99% of the time your phone won't render 4k. Doing that for all scenarios in which things are rendered in 4k would make absolutely zero sense because then they would need to be upscaled again to fit the 4k reselution
