-Fire TV apps can be customized a bit more than Roku apps.  ​The screen ​resolution ​will always be 1280x720 or 1920x1080. ​ A 5% margin on all sides of the screen ​is used to make sure everything displays cleanly even on TVs with overscan. ​ Overscan is most common on older or cheaper 720p displays, as well as projection displays. +All Amazon ​Fire TV devices are HD only.  ​For simplicity, we render all interface elements at 720p, although higher ​resolution ​video playback ​is possible ​with our applications.
