Edit.. Found it over at freaktabs...haven't played with it yet so don't know the out come on our box's..

This doesn't switch the display resolution in XBMC.
I'm more of a linux guy and I'm not an expert with android and it's internals.
The links that I posted there are for running a firmware at 1920x1080. The problem I was having was trying to set the density so that the interface wasn't so small at 1080. It's pretty hard to read some of the things from the couch even with a 55" TV. And my wife won't allow me to purchase an 80" 4K TV without a divorce.
From what I have read you can keep a higher resolution larger interface by setting the pixel density. This is where I had problems. So I did some digging around and found a couple scripts in /system/bin/set_display_mode.sh and /system/bin/reset_display_mode.sh. I have no idea when these scripts are called (boot,set display in settings).
I'm under the impression that the scripts will set the frame buffer to 1280x720 and that ro.platform.has.1080scale controls whether it is true 1080 (set to 0) or upscaled from 720.
Right now I'm running the firmware posted in those links with the following and everything seems fine.
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
ro.platform.has.1080scale=0
From what I understand both the ATV1200 and the ATV520/ATV520E have the same hardware with the ATV1200 having composite out additional. I think previously the firmware was exactly the same for both devices.
