In this guide, we will provide you with instructions for fixing calibration issues or adjusting the aspect ratio on Android TV & Google TV devices.
If you are an Android or Google TV user you may have found that certain applications don’t fit the screen properly and this can be annoying when attempting to navigate them.
This has become especially prevalent with the onn.
Google TV brand from Walmart that has quickly become one of the most popular Android boxes available today.
Luckily, there is a quick fix for changing the aspect ratio and adjusting the screen resolution on these devices as well as other Android/Google TV Boxes which we provide below.
We feature both a video guide as well as a screenshot that will walk you through this process step by step.
NOTE: There are two different ways to adjust the aspect ratio as we discuss in the video. The most simple method is adjusting settings on your television set. However, this is not always an option and that is why we also show how to do this on your Android TV or Google TV Box.
How to Adjust Screen Size/Aspect Ration on Android & Google TV
