Android Emulator Screen Resolution looks higher than set

Trying to match a specific device screen in an emulated device though it seems/looks like it higher than desired.

Looking at screenshot the first is a physical device, specifically the Nabi Big Tab, a 20inch screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900

Real Device Screenshot

and comparing that to the emulated device it seems like the emulator is a higher resolution...

emulated screenshot

config options used

Tried

Start the emulator and connect the physical device to input adb commands

then execute the following using -d to send the command to the device:

adb shell wm density

it should return something like with the Nabi Tab Physical density: 213

then using -e to send command to the emulator:

adb shell wm density 213

The problem with that is the screen changes and puts the navigation bar on the right side instead of the bottom of screen... looks like the icons are sized correct but navigation is on right side

So I found the navigation bar moves when density > 200 so using 200 is as close as I have been able to figure...not to mention it is an invalid value and does cause issue...

What can I do to make the screenshots match sizes more closely/ accurately?

Andriod Studio Ver 3: (this is for RESOLUTION adjustment): in Studio, go to Tools -> AVD Manager -> Edit this AVD ( click the pencil icon on the right side)

then change the device Device (right udner AVD name input box), to what ever your want. it Nexus 6P for higher resolution.

To change scale/size of AVD, just use Ctrl + up_arrow/down_arrow.

also check that you match the device hardware buttons or lack there of

You can save the value for use at start see -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/43860845/1815624

Still not 100% a better answer is desired

From reading the following article 213 is for TVs... this may play a part... https://www.captechconsulting.com/blogs/understanding-density-independence-in-android
