For reasons unclear, Hulu limits its Android TV app to streaming in 720p, but finally 1080p is starting to roll out to Shield TV.
The streaming market has greatly expanded over the past few years, with original content,4K HDR, and huge content libraries as tentpoles of most platforms. Hulu is among the best offerings, but even in 2021, the Android TV app has been sorely lacking, limited to 720p for ages. Now,1080p is expanding for some devices. Digging into Hulu’s Android TV app, there’s an “App & Device Info” screen that shows a few notable details, including the max resolution available on your device. As some Redditors noticed, that max resolution has jumped up to 1080p from 720p on some devices including the 2019 Shield TV.
