Is there a way to get Android on the Switch to output at 1080p while docked?

I mean, 720p works just fine and all, but when it's docked it basically looks like you're taking a magnifying glass to the screen, as there's like a line between each pixel that's noticeably visible. You don't notice it in handheld obviously due to the size and resolution of that screen, but it can be annoying when it's hooked up into a 22' monitor that's right in front of muh face.

Those spaces between each pixel are an effect of your display, not of the signal. The screen can't render natively in 720p unless it's a 720p screen, it can only render at its native resolution, which means the space between the pixels is the same no matter what.

My monitor is 1920x1080p. I don't get that effect with my PC or when I have my Switch running normally and hooked into it. Only when in Android mode does it do that.

You are 100% clueless. This build of Android is 1080p only unless you manually change the resolution with an app or flash the 720p image.

That is completely besides the point. I wasn't talking about the ROM at all because it's irrelevant; it's simply not possible for a lower resolution to cause the effect they're describing.

The version of android I'm using seems to be 720p regardless of if it's docked or not and 60fps portable but only 30fps docked... I use the app screen resize to force 1080p when docked.

Where can I find the build that auto switches to 1080p when docked?
