Thanks for that first of all. Do you know if it's compatible with YouTube Mods, I'm using IYTBP Module for adfree and Background Playback for example but the Resolution didn't go up on my Shield K1 after activating the module. I know 4k isn't possible but 2k shoult at least show up.

Did you try the same video in regular YouTube app?

Good to know, thanks. Maybe it's a problem with the shield Tablet, I suspect so.

Should the script line sys.display-size=3840x2160 be found in build.prop after flashing and restarting the device right?

I don't see this script line in build.prop hence manually added.

Still could not see higher resolution than 1440. May be LG G5 doesn't support 4k videos.

Magisk (resetprop) doesn't add, remove or change anything in build.prop, it merely loads whatever value from the resetprop command to system.

Use getprop in a terminal emulator to see if the proper value is loaded.

getprop sys.display-size

Thanks. I removed sys.display line that I added to buil.prop and run getprop command returns 3840x2160. I can confirm that magisk set the display values when device starts..

Thanks for the link. For LG G5 it says, VP9 decoder exist and VP9 encoder not exist. What does it mean?.. I am confused..

It means you can decode 4K VP9 encoded videos. So you must can see the 2160p option in 4K videos.

Is it possible to unlock 1440p60 on a device like the Nexus 6P with a mod like this? Some devices, like the Pixel, S8, and other Sammies, supposedly support it. Thanks!

I think if the video you are watching is upload with it, but IDK if YouTube or the app have got that...

The app should be compatible with it. Must be a VP9 decoder only thing as my PC only goes up to 1080p60 too when I toggle off VP9 decoding and force h.264 only.

is it possible to set a resolution as the default resolution for every video? Always switching to 1080p is anoying. Had an xposed module to get this set.
