Can you set a lower Display Resolution to 1080p/1440p for battery saving? I think 4K is a bit accessive

So i'm new to this changing DPI stuff.
What are the benefits/disadvantages of changing your DPI?
I know lowering it makes everything smaller, but there is a downside to everything.
Is performance decreased?
Is touch sensitivity effected?
etc
Also, lowering your DPI increases resolution, isn't that counter intuitive?
Less pixels in an area should have lower resolution...
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.
In the display settings, there are options to change the display from 720p, 1080p, and 1440p. I currently have mine set on 720p to save battery life, but I was wondering if you play a 1080p video while on 720p resolution, or a 1440p video while on 1080p resolution, does the phone automatically display the full resolution of the video, or is it limited to what is set in the settings menu?
I have using the stock camera app, non root/unlocked bootloader=virgin.
In the settings I have set of contrast to higher and display ratio 4:3. Which setup you have?
Stock camera app.
Stills: frame is set to 4:3 ratio, contrast, and saturation are set to normal. However, I prefer a lower sharpness photo. Can be tweaked in post-processing.
Videos: FHD, 60 fps.
Hello, to the point. I want to lower my resolution to help snapdragon 732G, for better performance. I have 120Hz display, after wm size and dpi change, will affect my refresh rate? I want to set 720p

I want to lower my resolution for better performance, using ADB. Default resolution is 1080.2400, im thinking for a 720. My question, refresh rate will be affected? Will get 120Hz after my changes?
.... Why not simply trying it?
