Anyone know if there's anything similar to LCD Resolution for laptops? I'm getting the Lenovo y570 (the top end model, but still only comes with 1366x768 res), and I'd like to increase its res. I imagine that there's a way to improve it like we can on the sgsII, but I can't figure out how. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TYIA
Resolution is the actual number of pixel clusters in a screen. You can't increase the resolution on a device without replacing the screen.
You can change the DPI, dots per inch, which changes how the device displays images. Essentially, you are telling the device to ignore the actual resolution.
I assume you're using Windows.
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7

I know many Samsung I780 owner is facing the resolution problem on that 320x320 display.
Some program is not work or identify the wrong resolution on it.
For example, the SlingPlayer mobile is recognized my i780 as 240x240 display and cannot support fullscreen playback with a small windows look like 160x160.
For this reason i tried Tweek2K2, but i did not support on non-Vga machine and Force High Resolution 1.65 but it didn't helpful to improve the screen layout.
Finally I try the old software “Nydiot Virtual Display 5.02” it solved all the resolution issue on my Samsung i780,
*** You should install the 96dpi respack, if you have any display problem ****
Now I can emulator to 320x240 and 240x320 resolution without dropping the system performance. (use 100% zoom, don’t scaler the screen)
**** You souhld type the "240" by your own in the combine box ****

After install the virtual display, the RealVga is useless, as the Nydiot Virtual display support 320x320 of i780 golden resolution. And i can switch to any resolution without reset the phone.
I am highly recommend the i780 owner to install this software.

Would be interested on how you managed to get 240x320 res. When I tried this software on fresh install no Real VGA nothing I only have opion for 320 or above res. There is no 240 in the drop down list in settings, Also messed up my icons in the program and settings screen.
Anyone else had any luck with this? I think I might have to stick with Real VGA unless I'm doing something wrong.
hi
i tried it extensively .. first i couldnt find the 240 res option and second .. until someone points out the ideal settings i wont be switching from realvgajust yet ! good find none the less !

if you type 240 on the combo box you'll get the 240. it supports 240x320 and 320x240. it's usefull in case you have some SW that do not work on default resolution.
Hi,
I have a question regarding the display resolution of Nexus 7 2nd gen. I have came across a website which tells you what's your display resolution. I have tried on some laptop and some desktop and that website is correct about the resolutions of these devices. However, when I check from my Nexus 7 the website says that is running on 945 by 900. Any ideas why is like this ? Sorry for my English.
Chrome reports quarter resolution to websites. Something to do with compensating for slack web developers.
It's because the whole OS is basically scaled to 960x600 and chrome reports that resolution instead. The missing pixels are probably status bad and nav bar.
I have a nice 1080p projector I'd love to drive with the Nexus 7 over Slimport. Performance is great, but the picture has letterboxing on the left and right due to the 16:10 aspect ratio of the tablet. Is there any way to get the Nexus 7 to output only the top 1920x1080 (ignoring the permanent soft button bar)?

Yes, there are ways. Unfortunately none of them's easy. One way is to change the screen resolution but that requires root. The other way is to add support for external display in a video player app. As of 4.2 app developers are able to detect and handle mutliple displays at once. So it's for instance possible to detect that external display is attached, discover what resolution it supports and output video to the external display at a native resolution. I am quite surprised that the native video player does not support that. It shoud work by default that way.

Could you please tell me which slimport cabel you are using? is it SP10002? I am struggling to get a perfect one
I have a Lumia 1520, which has a 1920x1080 display, but I noticed a lot of older apps only detect it as 800x480. Presumably this is for compatibility on the old, smaller, wm7/8 devices. However, on the 1520, it looks ridiculous. The zoom makes the display worthless. Is there any way to change what old apps detect as the resolution to change that scaling?
I think it is built in in the app itself. Like iPhones have trouble scaling iPhone 4 and 5 apps on the 6(S).
I am afraid developers have to update the app

Developers must recompile the app for WP8.1 / W10M and enable scaling in settings of visual studio to ensure it makes use of extra screen estate and looks crisp on windows phones with high resolution displays.

I was hoping there would be a file I can edit, like androids build.prop, to change the lower-res scaling resolution to something higher. Ah well.
Hi
I'm currently using redmi note 8 running a custom rom.
Is there a way to lower the screen resolution from 1080p to 720p?
You can do this with root via terminal apps. Not done this for a while but the command used to be wm size. So you would for example use the command, "wm size 720x1080".
I only find guides for other devices. How to change resolution I know, but I am not sure which settings will work. Usually I just carefully try, but I read that Changing Resolution and Dpi bricked some MIUI 11 Devices, so I am not sure, if I should do it. A bit more performance and battery would be great, but right know no money for a new phone, if somethings going wrong
I use this
