I was wondering if any if you guys tried setting up the Nexus 7 for a secondary monitor?
I was looking at iDisplay, Screen Slider, but was open to any other alternatives.

Is there an app which enables to use an external display es extended display and not just mirror the nexus screen on the monitor? Looks really stupid to have a soft keyboard on the big display displayed and not just on the nexus 4 screen

i am also interested in this. but also for me it is ok for mirroring the screen on my TV.is there a way to do this?if not on TV,maybe on the PS3
I have no idea why this has happened, but for some reason on my Nexus 7 (do not have this issue on my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies), when I try to interact with a widget on my lock screen, the widget goes to the background, and the lock turns white highlighted with a box around it (like it wants me to unlock the device first). This pretty much renders my lock screen widgets useless. Does anyone know why this is happening or a setting I need to fix? My Nexus 7 is stock Android 4.2.2.
Do face that many apps goes beyong tv screen size, faceing the control tabs are shown not in full range.
In xbmc can change it manully, but maybe this can be somehow changed/configured?
Or each app developer have to add this functionaly to his app?
The example are in attachment
It has to do with your TV not the nexus player. Lookin your settings for a screen size, yours is probably set on 16:9. Find the option where it says screen fit or something
Thanks a lot, you are genius!

I am having this same issue with my NP. I think it's called overscanning. I have found the button to change the screen size on my TV remote, but when I am in an hdmi input on my TV it only gives me 2 screen size settings. Wide, and zoom, which both do not fit to the screen. If I change the input to anything, like TV, I have about 5 different options then. Anybody know of a way to fix this?
I had a same issue with my panasonic TV...just try to look into menu-picture-advanced and disable 16:9 overscan
Just looked at the manual for my TV. Looks like if I have any HD input the only options the TV will give me are normal (which is wide), or zoom which is much worse. Normal cuts off probably about an inch on the sides. Navigating through some apps is almost impossible, like es Explorer.
It looks like I am at a loss. Because of the TV. I am using using a 50 inch Vizio p50 plasma TV.

I'm also at a loss. My Samsung Plasma doesn't have the screen fit or just fit setting (apparently they added it to the 2007 model). Wonder how Kodi does it and if it could be made into an app or something. I might look into seeing if I can modify the build.prop. Found this thread: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=720
Here, try the method using Nova Launcher in this post:

Here's something I stumbled on that I haven't seen mentioned... Found it very helpful.....
Problem: On my Samsung HDTV set, I found that many apps (particularly Chrome) were getting key parts of their screens cut off by overscan. But I couldn't find a way to set the overscan on my HDTV or in the Nexus Player.
Solution: While I was playing around with Nova Launcher on the Nexus Player, I found a way to launch something called "Overscan Calibrator" which fixed the issue!
Here's how I did it:
(1) Install Sideload Launcher (so you can launch Nova Launcher)
(2) Sideload Nova Launcher
(3) Use Sideload Launcher to launch Nova Launcher
(4) In Nova Launcher, long click on the screen to bring up the "Add to Homescreen" menu
(5) Shortcuts -> Activities
(6) Scroll down to find "Overscan Calibrator"
(7) Click on it to open the selection and click on the revealed item to add it to the home screen
(8) Now launch "Overscan Calibrator" and adjust the screen so that then entire screen is visible
Then... your entire Chrome screen will be visible !

Nexus Player on Samsung 50" UHD TV from lasta year and all menus go over the screen. Is there any way to calibrate viewable area on Nexus Player? Mike in many video games when you first starttasi them.
Have you tried the screen calibration settings? There's an app that has a shortcut to it here some where
No sure if it has it in stock, but CM12.1 has a overscan slider so you can shrink it to fit.
Anybody else noticing burnin already? I am a player of game Ingress, and have this game turned on every day for some time. And I already noticed pretty visible burnin. Does anybody else here has burnin so soon? I am owner of Oneplus 3 and I used it the same way as I do use my OP5 and the burin was noticable much much later after the purchase. It's a shame really.

That's why i always use expanded desktop mode to prevent notificationbar/qs tile burn-ins. Also i use a black Amoled homescreen wallpaper and set the brightness at the lowest readable frequency. But indeed, it's a shame that it is allready visible for an 5 month old device. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it anymore. But to make it not any worser i would suggest you to do the same as i do to prevent more screen burn-ins. Or let it be and play till the screen is not worth it anymore and search for a good screen replacement store/shop or whatver.
I feel bad for you (i know because i had this on 2 other devices also in the past.)
Stock android actually has burn-in protection unfortunately it is not activated by default.

Any idea on how to enable the protection ?
I think the easiest would be using vendor overlay. You can try this premade overlay:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=74189102
It is targeted for OxygenOS though, for ROMs that are based on lineageOS, the burn in configurations are a bit different if I remember correctly. Also for custom ROMs, you will need to enable it from the settings page.

You're supposed to change up you wallpaper and use dark papers most of the time to prevent burn in. I also use Nova launcher and my swipe up gesture toggles/hides my notification/status bar. This way it's not always on so it doesn't burn in. I also keep my brightness set to auto and just lower is manually when I use maps or any static image that on for long periods of time.
With what I said above, I've never had burn in on any of my AMOLED devices (note 3, note 4, note 10.1 tablet, Nexus 6P and the OP5)
