Android X700 XBMC

Hey guys, just picked up the above box and its on 14.2 firmware. Whilst using XBMC it only says 1280 x 720 instead of 1920 x 1080? but outside of XBMC it shows proper 1080p. Anyone have any idea on these boxes? if I can't run 1080p will return it, but surely they can.

There is a very good chance that it has an 720p firmware installed.
This is normally done to restrict hardware usage in android devices.
Have a look to see if you can download any other firmware versions. If not you will only ever be able to use XBMC in 720p.

Yeah it won't let me download a newer firmware but it's advertised as 1080p. Ok cheers will return it back to the shop. 720p is useless to me. Thanks for letting me know mate.

Yup, its cheeky, it upscales 720p to 1080p. It doesn't work in XBMC though.
Had this happen on a couple of Android sticks.
