Q: How do you get full screen apps on the TV?

The apps show up on the TV screen, however it is only 1/2 the size of the TV screen. Is there a way to enlarge it to full screen?

    Hello mahooper,

     

     

     

    The information below may help get your Apps to fill your TV's screen.

    Optimizing image quality

    Resolution matching modes

    You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.

    Choosing displays from the menu

    • Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
      AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
