Answer 1

Check your widget.info files, Samsung TV Apps store what resolution used in this file. The default is 960x540 so your UI is cutted.

For 1920x1080 resolution is not suggested since the Smart TV Series 4 (ES4XXX/F4XXX) only support resolution up to 768p and causing the apps with 1080p failing to start or just give black screen.

Answer 2

Samsung TV browsers run at a resolution of 960x540 and then are scaled up to fit the physical resolution of the screen. You should design for that size.

Answer 3

Widgets on Samsung Smart TV 2011+ support 960x540, 1280x720, widgets on 2012+ supports additionaly 1920x1080. See samsungdforum.com guides.

Samsung Emulator correctly supports only 960x540.

You should test your markup on real device.
