Hello my friends...why Dex do not able to set this resolution on ultrawide screen monitor? :crying:
WQHD - 2560x1440..
Ultra wide is 21:9 which is 3440x1440. 16:9 equivalent is 2560x1440 which appears to be the maximum resolution available with the Dex Pad.
If the panel is indeed an ultrawide, it won't work with the Dex Pad at the native resolution as the HDMI 1.4 port on the pad doesn't have the bandwidth for that resolution at 60Hz.

What are the advantages of having a smaller TV as a monitor vs a traditional monitor? Assume both are 1080p and the same size.
The tv has a remote.
TV's scale different resolutions better too.
Smaller TV? Why smaller? I use a 32" one as my monitor.
Another advantage is I can flip a switch and it turns into an Android device
Hi,
I would like to set up a "photo booth" based on my Samsung Galaxy Camera, and I am using the HDMI output to display the screen on a TV.
The problem is that when in camera mode, the HDMI output will not display extra info (such as the timer countdown for example, or the focus zone confirmation). The HDM output only displays the liveview feed from the sensor.
Do you know if it's possible to have the exact same display on the screen and on the TV in camera mode?
Many thanks,
Calvin
I realized last night that my 1920x1200 display is scaling the Chromecast 1920x1080 signal to a full 1920x1200 resolution causing the entire display to be stretched vertically.
When hooking up the same display to my PC via the same HDMI port at 1920x1080 resolution, I get a 1:1 pixel mapping with black bars on the top and bottom of the image. Is there something in the image source that specifies whether to stretch or use a 1:1 pixel mapping? I went through all the settings on the monitor and nothing will give me the proper aspect ratio.
Same here, have you found a solution? It sucks!

You sure your TV isn't set to Stretch as opposed to normal?

Have you double checked all scaling options of your display? This user contacted Google to let them know of the same problem:

Issues/Features I had contacted them about:
1080p content scaled to 1920x1200 on a 16:10 aspect ratio monitor (other devices scale properly)

But was this bug ever fixed? Answer: No!

I just plugged the Chromecast in, and it updated (had been sitting on the shelf for a while). After the update, the same problem is exhibited. I have 2 aspect ratio options in the monitor settings, "Full" and "Fit". Both provide a 16:9 1920x1080p signal stretched to the 16:10 1920x1200 resolution.

The other way around: If you have a 1920x1080 display and want to mirror the display of Android device wich has a 1920x1200 resolution, use this app the app "SecondScreen" (https://www.xda-developers.com/cast-device-second-screen/) to set the resolution to 1920x1080 before casting to the Chromcast.
Its goal: "Second Screen aims at providing you with a way to properly cast your screen so that it looks is best whenever you are showing it off to your friends and family. It does so by allowing for a user selectable resolution and even DPI in order to take full advantage of your TV."
Chromecast2 on a HP 1920x1200 display

Yeah, that's what it seems I need is a 1:1 pixel mapping. However connected to my computer this monitor will have a letterbox when set to 1920x1080 and the expected letterboxing.
Please note I only tested this with the first gen Chromecast, so maybe this isn't an issue with the second gen units.

I tested the Chromecast2 on a HP 1920x1200 display. Pixels are mapped 1:1 with the right display settings. I don't have a Chromecast1 to check with this display.
Both the nexus 4 and the nexus 7 (2013) support slimport, which is very useful for mirroring the device to a big screen. However, neither device uses the standard 16:9 (1080p) aspect ratio. As a result, you end up with some cropping on a 1080p TV. For the nexus 4 it is even worse, since it outputs 768p upscaled to the TV's resolution.
However, the flexibility of android allows us to manually change the native resolution. In a console, we can type the command:
wm size 1080x1920
and the resolution will change. In the device screen the new resolution will look odd, however you now have true 1080p on the TV. To get back to the default resolution you type:
wm size reset
This solution works, but it is not very convenient. So I made two profiles for tasker, that automatically change the device resolution upon the connection of an HDMI cable and reset it when the cable is disconnected, thus automating the whole process.
I 'm attaching a screenshot of the two profiles, as well as a zip file so you can extract and import them in tasker.
In summary,
- you need root
- the HDMI plugged profile
reduces the device brightness to minimize battery consumption
increases volume
sets resolution to 1080p
enables WiFi
sets display timeout to 10 hours
activates display rotation
- the HDMI un-plugged profile
sets auto brightness back on
resets screen resolution
sets display timeout to 1min
These are optional settings that I found useful to automate, but they are all optional, and you can tweak them once you imported the profile to tasker.
I hope you find this useful!!! :good:
Hey!
I recently downloaded a few mkv HDR files to the phone, but when playing the files, it didn't activate the HDR feature (washed out colors and bad contrasts) in VLC or the native Samsung video app. How come and how can I watch HDR content? (It does work on YouTube HDR videos...)
Thanks!
HDR content is HIT AND MISS. Some will look fine after adjusting the brightness and contrast, some devices require Auto Brightness and Iris to be turned off. and sometimes a codec can fix the problem....
Have you tried using KODI and adjusting the hardware and software codec settings?
But honestly, HDR on a 6 inch screen isn't doing you any good. 1080p Will consume far less data and will look the same on that tiny screen. Unless you're using HDMI out to a screen over 50 inches, i don't see the need...
HDR has nothing to do with the resolution (and the fact that you should be watching it on big screens). HDR is about dynamic range and the color range which is perfect to watch on a high-end screen of a premium smartphone display like Galaxy S10.
