Screen fit in Sharp aquos LC-60E78UN.

I bought this new Sharp Aquos 60" TV. It is connected to an HTPC having Windows 7. When I switched on the computer, TV was able to show 1080p resolution, however, I was not able to see the edges. In other words, the Windows button was not visible. The borders of other Windows were not visible, if maximized.

Now the solution is simple. The TV is defaulted to some crazy zoom mode (I think they say smart zoom). If you change to "dot by dot" (aka 'Screen fit' or 'Just Scan' or 'pixel by pixel'), life will be good. The screen will be fully visible. It directly maps the incoming image to the TV screen's pixels, eliminating overscan and other possible processing. This is the best option for seeing movies.

In the Sharp TV remote, Press View Mode and select Dot by Dot (full screen).More details on page 59 of your Sharp LC-60E78UN manual.

Media player for LG Optimus One

The stock media player in Android is just ok. It will not play all video files. If the resolution of the avi file is higher (resolution more than 640x360), it will give an error message "resolution not supported".

However, you can freely download Moboplayer. This is the best player I have tested. They say that it can technically play any file played by VLC media player, since they use the same codecs (FFDshow). Anyways, Moboplayer was able to play the files rejected by stock player. There was no "resolution not supported" messages anymore.

Note: Make sure your video file does not have AC3 audio. mp3 and AAC audio work fine.
