[Q] Display resolution - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

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.

[Solution] Solve resolution issue on Samsung i780 [i780 owner MUST READ]

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.

lcd resolution increase on laptops?

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

Custom ROM that offers display output (Slimport) resolution and aspect ratio options?

So when using the Slimport adapter with the Nexus 7, the 1920x1200 16:10 image is scaled down to a 1728x1080 16:10 image.
The 1728x1080 image is displayed on a 1080p 16:9 TV with black "pillars" on the left and right sides.
For me, this is completely undesirable.
I am hoping that there is a custom rom out there that offers more slimport output options.
Such as:
-Changing the Android workspace to 1920x1080. Letter boxing on the tablet and pixel perfect on the TV.
-Changing the Android workspace to 1920x1080. Vertical stretching on the tablet and pixel perfect on the TV.
-Retaining the Android workspace at 1200p. Vertically squashing the TV image to 16:9 for a 1080p image with distorted aspect ratio with no black bars. (distorted AR can be reversed with many Video player apps and Picture viewer apps).
Any of those is more desirable to a 1728x1080p pillar boxed output. Any help on the issue would be greatly apreciated.
I've posted a feature request on google groups, asking them to consider adding more output resolution options to Android. http://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en+#!category-topic/mobile/android-devices/cgKZEwu4CZg
Downscaling 1920x1200 to 1728x1080 involves un-even averaging of pixels on both the horizontal and vertical. Out of the many other ptotential options for display output, this has to be the worst.
I agree with you guys, there should be a better solution.
I have a 1920x1200 monitor, which is perfect for 1:1 direct output, but the N7 2013 still output at 1728x1080. It does not look good, especially when watching videos. The downsizing also causes a visible performance drop, there is a slight lag when interacting with the UI.

What site are you getting this resolution from? Chrome is not operating in 2560x1600 resolution because tabs would be so tiny you could barely select them. It is pixel doubling everything and then rendering everything with a higher resolution, which is why fonts look sharper but the web pages look generally the same as a 1280x800 device.

My Nexus 10 say the same essentially (minus 48 pixels for the onscreen buttons). The browser renders 1280x800 and pixel doubles it up to 2560x1600 so that fonts look sharper. Again, there is no way you could comfortably read a true 2560x1600 rendered page on this small of a screen.
If it really bothers you, download a DPI changer and change it to a much lower number, which should increase the reported size.
Any rez change apps that don't require root??

Screen Banding / Gradient Issues

I have a question about note 10 plus (Exynos) display, I immediately saw that something is wrong when opened a Spotify (please see attached images) earlier I had iPhone XS Max and the gradients were fluid, also I Can see the gradient banding in some scenarios like grey scale or some of the colors.
Can someone tell me if the display if faulty or not? Do someone with note 10 plus and spotify can for example check that song/background on their device?
IMAGES - please add https:// before link below since I can't add images to the thread the XDA posting is lame..
photos.app.goo.gl/GNVEmjVv7TSQf5BAA
Sorry for the quality of photos but I made them with old nexus 4
Same on my device.
SM-N975F/DS
This thing about banding, I have seen it in some other devices, and not always, with my note10+, I have only seen it in some wallpapers, but never in an app, as youtube netflix clarovideo, games, browser, videoplayer, etc
