    Android TV's - what about the screen resolution?

    Could not find the right place for this so I hope it is good to start here...

    As everyone is demanding 4K for Kodi and such I finally upgraded my TV to a model with 4K and HDR.
    the boxes work as expected on it but my real problem is with the Android system on the TV itself.
    Mine is a TCL 60" model from the P20 series, so basically same internals as the Sony models in terms of hardware.
    When I installed Kodi I realised the screen resolution is only 1080P but not 4K as expected.
    Aida64 confirms this and so far I ave not found a way to change the screen resolution.
    Funny thing is that, when I went back to the shops, I checked other 4K TV's and none has more than 1080 for the Android stuff.
    All HDMI stuff works on 4K though...

    Is the Android system limited to half the resolution due to the low end capabilities of the Mali GPU or are there other resons for this?

    some info
    http://kodi.wiki/view/Android FAQ#GUI_no_longer_rendered_at_4K


    Running GUI/UI makes things look weird or makes things stutter..

    but its possible using command : wmsize

    Cheers
