2560:1440 is 16:9 ratio, which is possibly the same as your PC/laptop screen or your phone, so when you play back the video it fills the screen without black bars down the sides.So I've read that it's recommended to use the 2560x1440 rather than the 2560x1600.
Is there a reason why?
I've noticed that iwth the 2560x1600, I get a bigger view of things, and the 2560x1440 looks like a cropped version of it.
I may be mistaken though, so please correct me if I'm wrong!
2560:1600 gives you a taller image, using more (all?) of the available pixels on the sensor, but most likely it only shows extra sky and dashboard which are not essential for dashcam purposes.
You youngsters.Thats how everything look once you pass 50 YO
The A119 V3 does NOT widen the field of view selecting 2560 x 1600 at 16:10 ratio, it only makes the image taller than 2560 x 1440 at 16:9 ratio, they both use 2560 pixel width.
Your video, propertiesthe video hopefully shows the effect as a good example
nice resolution reveal, very few A119 V3 owners are aware of Viofo image width cropping but now they can see the proof.Friends, horizontal viewing angle with all resolutions = 95 °

Your video, properties
Bitrate: 3594 kbps
Width: 1728 pixels
Height: 1080 pixels
Aspect Ratio: 16:10
Give the original.
The viewing angle does not depend on the resolution, although of course it should !!
There the format is 16:10, of course it will compress, the video on the monitor is 16:10 and everything will be ok.RAW file here:
Worse, with the televisions of the day, the size of the picture varied with the brightness. The HAD to over-scan the picture. The appalling thing was that the industry was so used to over-scanning, it was even included in the specification for HDTV, even though it was completely unnecessary and wasteful for HDTV.How many people are not going to be concerned about a faction of the picture being cropped. Back in the day all video was always cropped unless you wanted wavy edges and jumbled picture top and bottom of the screen. It was called overscan and most TV and displays of the day cropped the picture automatically and sometimes quite severely. Most people probably did not know this was happening or even want to know as long as they saw want they wanted.
the cropped image makes more sense anywayHow many people are not going to be concerned about a fraction of the picture being cropped.
Sorry for the late comparison between V2 6Ro and V3 fw1.02. I had switch rear to front and forgot change res. I thought it would not be a fair fight unless they were both the same res. Had to get some more footage. Ignore dashcam Date/Time and info for V2 as Incorrect. Both dashcam Had CPLs and GPUs.
Will up about 10 mins to 20mins from posting this link.
Both samples are 1440p (not 1080p) so equal comparison if you look at the info from both the V3 and V2 displayed at the bottom of the screen. You will notice a different text size of the Dashcams info if the samples text are at different resolutions. If you read my posting you quoted it said it was at 1080p but I change it to 1440p before taking the footage,
Saturation is a personal choice depending on how the display showing the footage is set-up. The colours in the V2 are muted but not as bad as the V4 firmware, Mod6Ro represents a vast improvement over the supplied firmware.
There will always be a blowout with automatic exposure and it also happens with V2 in certain conditions and most auto exposure devices.
Changes will obviously be made over time and the V3 already shows big improvements over the V2 so can only get better once @BCHobbyist has a chance to start investigating the firmware.
