Hi, my screen displays image at 1440x900 max but my pine outputs Full HD. I know that it's not a problem because my Raspberry Pi (first one, model B) on the same converter adapts the output to my display resolution. Is there any way to fix it on my pine?

Nope unless you start to code and manage to get your HDMI driver fixes incorporated into Allwinner's Android image for Pine64. These are the available resolutions right now and you can benefit from them only with latest longsleep's Linux kernel:

Thanks for your reply, I'm afraid I'm not able to do that as easy as sounds. I've never done it so I'm forced to pack my board again and wait for a functional fix for me or get a new monitor (not soon).

It's not easy at all especially the 'get fixes in the kernel used on Android images'. Community driven Linux development is one thing, what happens with Android/RemixOS only the Pine64 people know.
The whole purpose of my answer was to lower your expectations a bit. At the moment the situation regarding support of different display resolutions is pretty limited. Whether that might change with Android I'm not able to tell. On the other Allwinner platforms what's usually happening is that Linux support improves and improves (due to community efforts) but Android seems to be orphaned from the very beginning. Might change but who knows?
