Hi Atul,
While the graphics scaler is limited to an input of 1024 pixels wide (making
1024x576 the largest 16x9 framebuffer it will support), the video scaler does
not have this limitation. It is capable of full HD resolutions. We use the
graphics scaler for the UI but we use the video scaler for the times when HD
really matters (video and photo display). The limitation of the graphics scaler
is a hardware limitation.

//I was expecting HD to be 1024 x 720. But CascadeScreen (GetRect)

//Why is that. Is it a limitation of the underlying Graphics API/OS. Is
