4K output on AML-S905X-CC, or overscan
I tried to connect my Le Potato to an LG 4K TV. I thought that the specifications of the AML-S905X-CC included 4K output over HDMI. After attempting to connect it to a 4K TV, and then re-reading the specs, I really don't know what I bought. Does it support "VP9 P2 4K60 Hardware Decoding" or "4K UHD with HDR over HDMI 2.0"? Both of those are quoted from the Kickstarter page.
Question 1:
Can anyone help me get 4K output from my device? I believe I'm running the most recent Love R Pi system I can get via "apt-get upgrade". Here is my "uname -a" output:
Linux libre 4.14.7-gaaa79797e37-dirty #4 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 26 03:19:50 EST 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Question 2:
On my 4K TV, the 1080P output of my Le Potato extends beyond the boundary of the screen. Is there any way to turn on underscan/overscan to bring my 1080P output into the bounds of my screen?
I'm fine with 1080P output, as long as I can see it. Thanks,

try libreELEC (KODI) for running 4K video
Thanks Jeepthing. Any ideas on overscan/underscan?
some running android on RK3328 have had to turn off overscan on their TV
or set to no scaling instead of 16x9, something to try if your TV has those options
and if you want to try it , they put up for download 1st preview of
18.04 bionic beaver on libre's website
I just booted into the 18.04 Bionic Beaver. Same video situation. Thanks for your suggestions.
@JolleyLama This is a configuration setting for your TV. Try changing the aspect ratio. There should be a button on the remote that does this.
Thanks Loverpi. You are correct. I also found detail on askubuntu.
