TCL TV drops from 1080 to 720 in android ui.

by ramersonw

Hi, I bought an android tv from TCL and I noticed a strange behavior. The tv is an entry model (model 40S615 in my country). It is a full hd model. When viewing videos, the TV appears to be at 1080p, but when viewing the android UI, the resolution drops to 720p. The image stay blurred and the apps icons have a low definition. Is there any setting that changes this? I already used the command "adb shell wm size 1920x1080", but the result didn't seem to improve.

It may simply be that the UI is rendered at 720p resolution. It wouldn't be the only Android TV device to do this.

I wouldn't worry about it.
