Now you should be able to set your Firestick resolution settings to 720p (or whatever resolution your TV has). It is possible that your Firestick device settings were previously hard set to a TV resolution that your current TV doesn’t support.Īnd if you’re unable to force the device to cycle through available resolution settings using the step above, then you should do the following.ĭisconnect your Firestick device from the TV you’re having trouble with and connect it to a newer TV. Use a newer TV to lock Firestick resolution settings in place If that’s the case, definitely try the work around that I describe next.

I’m not saying that if you have an 720p TV, your Firestick won’t work. So it’s no wonder that Firestick devices occasionaly run into compatibility issues when being used with older 720p TVs.

By then TVs had already moved on to 1080p resolution and beyond.
But of course, they do still exist.įirestick devices came out in 2014, nearly 13 years after the introduction of 720p. It’s rare to find a TV that’s 720p anymore. If your TV didn’t have it, you were missing out. Launched in 2001, HD was the ultimate buzz word. There are affordable 2K and 4K (Ultra HD) options everywhere!īut it wasn’t all that long ago that “High Definition” (720p) was all the rage. But, there are always a few exceptions… Lower resolution TVs
