I have a UWHD 2560 x 1080 Display, and the Nexus Player would only output 1920 x 1080 resolution, leaving 2 massive black pillars on each side. I know that Android could theoretically support any screen resolution, but the stock rom does not have any settings to change the HDMI output resolution. I have tested sideloading a play store app called "Resolution Changer Pro" but it did not work.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or is there any custom rom that could do this?
Thanks in advance!
There's no way on stock rom for sure
Is your Nexus Player hooked up to a TV or computer monitor? If the TV or monitor's menu or remote allows you to horizontally stretch the 1080p video on the HDMI input to which the Nexus Player is connected, that's worth a try. There's also the utility at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59760033&postcount=11 but it's intended to provide overscan calibration so I'm not sure if it will help in your case.

I got an HDMI cable for my tablet, and I hooked it up to my monitor. My monitor does 1080p, but I can't seem to get the tablet to change from its native resolution.
It's alright as-is, but it looks poor, as it's all stretched(and hides the menu bar at the bottom), does anyone know how to change the res on it when HDMI is connected? I'm not too worried about losing the display on the unit, I'd just start up a movie and plug it in and watch.
Currently we are limited to 720p output, 1080p is promised in a futute update (June I believe).
Ah, okay.
Is there any way to change the resolution, though? I'd like it to run at the tablets native resolution(and not chop off the menu bar) if possible. Hard to read notifications when you get an e-mail or something when it's not there.

No, you'd need a 16:10 monitor to do that. Your monitor is 16:9, while your tablet is 16:10

I've got another screen that's 1680x1050 natively, does the same thing still.
My other complaint is that video output through HDMI is quite choppy and not quite sure what the cause is. My Atrix plays video through HDMI flawlessly. Any reasons as to why that may be?
I've got a similar issue with my 32" lg and my asus transformer, is there an app to "resize" the hdmi output ?
can't understand why but while handling hdmi connection my LG TV won't let me resize the image
Anyone find a solution? I just connected mine to my TV and its cutting off the edges and seems like it has a slight lag.
hdmi out perfect
I have used the HDMI out several times to both our Sanyo and Samsung LCD TVs.they scan and auto set tobthe correct resolution.
Watching movies to there work awesome butbsuck batter dead super quick.if hounding not plug your tablet in while watching on big screen it will be jerky and unreliable. Well it is for me anyway.
If im wrong sorry.
On my 40" Bravia, I can tweak the screen so that everything is visible. I haven't noticed any choppiness playing 720p... Haven't attempted anything 1080p yet. I'm using the Lightspeed rom with Richard's kernel, and I use Aimersoft Video Converter for my video files. Aimersoft has an Acer A500 profile that makes videos play flawlessly.

Can you see the menu bar at the bottom?
The menu bar is hidden from the TV screen always.
Yeah I can't see the menu bar, but I'm using the Xoom bluetooth keyboard which has the back, home and menu keys on it.
Guys the hdmi output is 1080p....(if you are on 4.010.40 or some simillar build..)....if you play a 1080p video...the resolution automatically changes from 720p to 1080p...

I noticed that the output was centered and cropped....
weird...

I'm not sure about the shortcuts on a standard keyboard. Why don't you play around with it and see if there are any? Then report back and let us know what they are

Not exactly what we are looking for for the standard keyboard shortcuts but worth a share http://www.cnet.com.au/android-honeycomb-keyboard-shortcuts-339314015.htm
changing resolution on hdmi connection
When connecting my asus a500 to a HDMI MATRIX SWITCH I receive the android app with it saying 720p? how coul-d I use my 1080I panasonic 40 inch monitor as a connection for the asus a500.
I want to be able to temporarily set my Nexus 10 to render the desktop at 16:9 instead of 16:10 so that when I hook it up to a 16:9 tv via hdmi, it doesn't need to scale the image down and add black bars on the sides. Is there any way to do this? Perhaps an option on a custom rom?
On a CM 10.1 thread, a recognized developer posted some modified files to get 1280x800 resolution or something like that. Not exactly 16:9, but perhaps a similar method could be made to get such a resolution.
I don't know what thread in-particular exactly :/
Aspect ratio has nothing to do with your TV either processing or not processing the image. Unless you are outputting the exact resolution your TV uses then it will always run the input through its scaler. And even if you do run the exact resolution, you still have the other processing the TV does, and very few models of TV's allow you to completely disable this extra processing. You may be able to get rid of most or all of the black bars simply by running a 16:9 aspect ratio, but unless you also run the exact resolution then you will still have processing done by the scaler on your TV.
I'm aware of that, but at least by making sure the signal I'm outputting through the HDMI cable is the same aspect ratio as the TV, it should ensure that the TV's scaler fits the final picture to the screen without any unnecessary black bars, and that's all I care about. It would be nice if Android had an option to specify the exact resolution it outputs through HDMI instead of just duplicating the res of the main screen, but in the absence of that option, I'm looking for a solution to at least get the aspect ratio right.

Mxplayer is implementing the same thing google play movies has where it will go into "hdmi mode"...
I know this isn't a full fix but it will be awesome for movies...
The exynos5 dual supports simultaneous native wqxga (2560x1600) and 1080p at 60fps through hdmi so it should be posdible to scale...
Mabey key lime pie will fix? Well see
Hello!
i am using my nexus player on a 720p TV but i am not viewing the complete image, it truncates the image, like if the nexus player is fixed at 1080p so the image received through HDMI is 1080p, but the TV is only able to display a part of it, (centered)
i installed xbmc/kodi and it also does not let me change the output resolution, also says 1080p (though it has the option but is read-only)
there's no option to change the output resolution manually
any help?
Currently there's no way to change the output resolution, but I should add that the Nexus Player always renders at 1080p internally, and then scales when it goes to output over HDMI. So, even if you're outputting at 720p, XBMC will report that you are rendering at 1080p.
Have you confirmed via your TV's display info that you're actually getting a 1080p input signal? If you're just getting overscan at 720p, that's expected and all the native apps are (supposed to be) designed to handle a 10% picture loss. Are you only noticing things cut off in XBMC, or are you missing parts of the screen in the rest of Android as well?
I didn't noticed until I started installing apps. all sideloaded apps have missing parts, Chrome, Sideload Launcher, xbmc, File Commander, etc...
WORKED!
thanks xBIGREDDx, my TV settings where wrong, it was set to Zoom instead of scale to fit.
hi, how to change the screen size from 4:3 to 16:9 on the nexus player? any help
If your display is always showing as 4:3, then use your TV settings to change the aspect ratio. This can usually be done with your TV's remote.
there should be an internal way, if I use the setup of the TV image is stretched and that not great at all

There isn't any resolution settings on the Nexus Player, it's made to output 1080p
If the image has a bad ration or isn't clear/crisp it is a TV or receiver issue or setting.
many people with larger tv's have this problem. the solution is to run the overscan launcher. worked for others but not for me. i couldn't get it to run.
Does anybody know how to make the MOJO screen fit on my tv properly? I have a 50" LED and the edges are cut off on my screen. Tried all the settings on the TV & a few apps, but I can't seem to get the size or resolution right. I really would like it to fit because it is cutting off the first few letters on the left, and that makes it pretty hard to navigate through menu's Thanks...
You might have done this, but just double checking, do you have a "scan option" under your menu?
This is different from zooming.

If you're on stock you may have to go into Settings and adjust the HDMI TV setting to your TV's resolution (under "Display"). I have a 24" 720p TV and I had to change the HDMI TV setting to HDMI 720p before all the edges were contained within the TV screen.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I am still unable to stop the screen from being cropped...It looks fine on my pc monitor, so it must be something with my tv.

Are you using one of the custom roms, or is your MOJO running stock? Also, is your tv 720, 1080 or something else? I ask because I just got done trying the android tv rom and the remix os rom on my MOJO with my 720p tv. Both of them did end up having at least some cropping issues.

I'm running stock mojo on a 1080 TV...Tried 720 and 1080 and they both have the same issue. I've tried a couple of resolution changer apps with horrible results!
I had this prob, I have a 40" JVC. I solved it by going into tv settings and switching to PC mode.
This was troubling me for days until I rooted the Mojo, flashed CM12.1 and installed Second Screen from the Play Store.
This will allow you to set up a profile, resize your screen to fit and save it.
Job done.
