Minix Neo X7 - 1080p question

[gpe]

Hi,

I flashed the Finless 1.6 ROM to my X7. I tried kernel_phja_1080_vsfsam with boot1080no_air_large and kernel_stock_1080 with boot1080no_air_large, but the output is 720p on my TV and there is no option to change it to 1080p in the display settings either.
Minix X7 Nexus SDK2 MultiWindows 1.2 gives me 1080p on the same box, but neither the Neo A2 nor the standard remote are working.
I wonder what am I doing wrong.
Any help welcome.

Thank you.

Silly question, but is your TV 1080p?

When I set up my device, I used the 720 kernel. But I had it hooked up to my computer monitor, which can handle 1080p. In the display settings, I was able to select either 720 or 1080 and both worked.
When I plugged the X7 into my living room TV, which is only 720, that was the only display option I had.

Same situation here: my Sony Bravia 32V2500 supports 1080i but I only get 720p. Not sure where to look now

Yes you are correct, my TV can only do 1080i.
I had DroidTV MX (G-Box Midnight MX2) before and it was supported the 1080i resolution. I wonder if would be possible to make custom kernel for that resolution?

Have had the same situation for a long time, 1080i is kind of an odd resolution and I don't know the exact meaning of 1080"i" but almost no devices have 1080i support, for example my ps3 has 1080i resolution support but the games don't so the y go to 720p when I play them.

"i" means interlaced. That is 2 frames actually make up the image. The first frame draws odd scan lines and the second frame draws the even scan lines. P means progressive which means one frame draws the entire image. Most TVs should support interlaced! Some do not support progressive!

There has bin a lot of debate about 1080i vs 720p and it seams like it a draw. Personaly i would always go 720p over 1080i. Some one onece dumd it down for me and said 1080p imagin the tv has horizontal lines acros the tv wen using P all theas line work at once. Wen using 1080i the line shifts one line on one line of and thay switch that way on off on off.

So for a smoother image i always go P over i

All LCD TVs are progressive in nature.

Some older generation 'HD Ready' TVs' native resolution is/was either 1366x768 or 1280x720. They accept 1080i as input which they then downscale to their native resolution. It's therefore only natural that 720p signal looks better on such screens than 1080i.

On a FullHD TV with a decent deinterlacer there is no difference between 1080i and 1080p.

This means I stick with the 720p for the moment and switch to 1080p if I got the new TV from Santa
