what is maximum output resolution over HDMI out? it is the same like screen resolution 720 x 1280 with optional upscale to 1080p?
i will connect it to 1080p PC monitor, so i'm wondering about resolution, and picture sharpness
I can't find anything that says exactly what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's whatever resolution the phone is (for the Samsung Galaxy S3 that would be 1280x720). Hope that helps.
P.S. This should be in the Q&A section, not the General section.
If the video you are playing on the S3 is a 1080p video, even though on phone it will be rendered at 720p it will display on the external display at Full HD (1080p).
Same with the videos recorded on the phone. They render on screen at 720p but on external display via the cable will be at 1080p
1080p
Over 9000.

hi when i enter in "weptop" mode i cant set highter resolution, actually its 720 and my TV supports 1080p.
the other issue i have its my tv supports @120hz and the problem its some colors sometimes looks weird :S i cant set up to @120 hz the max its @60hz 720p
anyway to change this??? my tv its vizio
Thanks a lot.
1080p is quite a lot for a phone like this, so performance would be bad.
I haven't seen an answer to your question on this forum, however. sorry, cant type fast cause on injury otherwise i'd give a more detailed response

Ok so as far as the 1080p thats too much for our phone to handle and it will not make it any more sharper... and for part 120hz, that's only the output not the input... Every thing out there form dvd's to vhs and xbox's and blu rays spits out a 60Hz signal and what your tv does is it doubles that 60hz and makes it a 120Hz signal which is what you then see... but most likely you dont even have it turned on... Check your settings that would be your best bet...

I doubt the atrix could render and pipe it over hdmi at that speed. Can't you just use the laptop? I don't notice much between 720 and 1080 videos except for horrendous load times.

Hi there!
So thats kind of a problem. If you plug in your Atrix to an DVI computer-screen, as mine has got 24" 1920x1200 pixel, you cant really get that native resolution?
About performance: as long as you dont watch 1080p youtube-files, it would be alright, I guess...
As the hardware (though the tegra 250 developer board does) is able to output 1080p, is a solution possible?

(edit: I even consider using a kindof HDfury hdmi to vga converter for a beamer in full resolution...)
so now i need worry about 120hz =X
120 vs 60 hz would make no difference on color

if you have the modded webtop, with sudo permissions and lxterminal or something similar, just write xrandr -s 1920x1080 in the terminal and you should get a 1080p res.
the frequency (120 hz vs 60 hz) has NO effect on the colors of your output. it's either an issue with the connector (HDMI cable) you're using, or the TV itself. my guess is something on your TV settings is off, if you're getting the same problem with both the Atrix and a separate laptop.
by the way, a 120Hz capable TV still runs 60Hz images at 60 Hz. There is no "doubling" going on, it's just capable of displaying images with refresh rates up to 120 Hz (higher is more refreshes per second).
i think, that Nvidia Tegra 2 Cant render out 1080p resolution, because this "advantage" will be in Tegra3 (as the part of its specifications).

Hello guys I've been converting my videos to 800x480 for awhile and their all fine. I was wondering if I convert them to 1920x1080 would there be a significant difference since the SGSII's native resolution is 800x480. Thanks for answering my question. Oh yeah the resolution the videos come in are usually low quality like 704x400 usually in .rmvb format. Sometimes I do download 720p videos and convert them to 800x480.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I've been converting mine as well, no difference at all. I just maintain the bitrate and it also reduces the file size.
GS II's screen resolution is 480x800. So anything above that resolution is practically meaningless, let alone 720P or 1080P.
Regards.
I can argue about that.

I just bought an HDMI output cable for my X2 and I am unimpressed with the results. The resolution looks grainy and all the videos look bad. Am I missing something?
I have a 2011 LG Plasma 50" 720P TV.
Well, it starts with your TV not being the greatest resolution, and being a large size. What are you trying to watch? If you are streaming Netflix and things like that, they have been having issues with it streaming in HD. Are you running any ROMs? It also depends on the quality of the HDMI cable you are using. It does make a difference.
I have grainy issues when running some eclipse versions. When stock or on a certain eclipse version I get better video quality o er HDMI...also seems like if I lower the overscan quality seems better but that could just be in my head
I think the X2 HDMI Mirroring just upscales the phone's display without any sort of smoothing. So you get an effective resolution of 960x540 outputting at 1920x1080 with each pixel showing up 4x as big.
If any application actually supports video-out (maybe just the BLUR gallery), then it may output at a real higher resolution. But due to no standard on this sort of thing in Android, no application really supports video out and Motorola really did a crappy job with their mirroring service.

those are both for the original droid X, and would disable the internal display and output over hdmi. X2's built in mirroring is better than that.
It is supposed to output at full 720p.
Actually it's supposed to be full 1080p output. Mine works pretty well.

This is one of my pet pevs as well. The picture quality on the phone is always better than the picture quality on the tv. It doesn't matter if I am hooked up to a 720 tv or a 1080. Same poor quality. Not hd like the phone

+1 it says its supposed to output to 1080 but with all the pixelation it looks like it just upscales to fit the tv.

Our native res of 960x540 is actually an hd standard and should look pretty decent when scaled to 1080 as it is exactly half.
Mine also looks lo-res. I'm mirroring to a 21.5" monitor (1080p) and the image looks pixelated. Not using the best cable, but it shouldn't look like it just stretches to fit the screen.

Had anyone else tried.lowering the overscan in phone settings>hdmi
I mentioned it earlier but can't tell if its just my.mind playing tricks on me.
also I've noticed it seems to look better if I put the tv screen setting to normal instead of widescreen or fit to screen.

Our phones resolution is half in each side so it is a quarter, hence "qHD".
The video signal the phone is sending is 1080p, but the phone is just scaling the internal display.
This is compared to the ipad2 (and maybe iPhone 4s) quick just mirrors the screen resolution without scaling in a 1080p signal giving big black borders. But apps can output true HD over the same connection, if they're programmed to.
anyone find out if there is a way to adjust the scaling form this device? did anyone make a rom that can do anything fo this problem?
how will the prime handle audio if i want to play a movie/tv show from the transformer on my tv?
i'm probably going to get this cable
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10253&cs_id=1025301&p_id=7327&seq=1&format=2
but how does it do the audio? i know that hdmi can handle video and audio so will a single hdmi cable output the video and the sound from the transformer when i plug it into the tv? i think when i used my laptop i had to get a cable with a 3.5mm jack to go into the headphone jack on the laptop and on the other end were rca jacks to go into the tv but my plasma doesn't have rca jacks. i think that's where i'm getting confused.
Yes that cable will output both audio and video to your tv simultaneously.

And now the big question, will the tablet be able to output higher resolutions than the screen res? Tf101 : only 1280x720: pretty worthless for hd movies or for using it as a desktop replacement connected to your 23" screen ...
Tegra3 can do it... but can the tf2 do it too?

I have Xperia Neo with HDMI and the audio and video @ 720p couldn't be handled any better IMO
All I can say is more than likely 1080 will be released maybe as official update or as mentioned above devs will do it
HDMI support is an essential for any tablet in the current market
I am really considering this as my first tablet
1080p Video File Size
1080p hdmi out would be great. So we are talking 1280 x 1920 output, yes? I am getting old and I have a hard time seeing the difference between 720p and 1080p.
If I am worried about 1080p out, then I'd also be concerned with having 7.1 audio out also. Might as well experience the "full" movie experience.
What about file size this 1080p video is going to be? Even with the 64 GB Prime what's the biggest file size I can dump on the drive? Are sd cards used with Android not limited to 4GB (aka fat32 format)? Any word on ICS breaking this barrier?
I cannot see a 1080p movie being within the 4GB limit. It's a challenge to get a 720p movie within the current 4GB limit.

You should not worry about this part. Yes it will.
The HDMI out video playback power is a task of the CPU/SoC, regardless of the actual display on the device. The Nvidia Tegra 3 SoC is well capable of playing smooth 1080p video.

This is the most concerning part with using the TF as your portable media watcher/tv-hookup-thingie.
From what i've read and seen today i think the Transformer Prime's hdmi output still sends out 720p, so no 1080p.
This is a real bugger since i want to use this thing as desktop replacement (hooked up to 23" 1080p+ monitor). 720p is way to low (big letters, small working area , blurry fonts when zoomed out)
Tegra3 as said can handle more than 720p.
Question is is there any hardware limitation?
Like the HDMI out, could that limit to 720p?

tegra3 can output resolutions way higher than 1080p... however, the TF2 device clones its own screen when connected to hdmi, which means you'll stay at 1280x800 or 1280x720 actually (minus lower bar)
But that could rather be software and by this changable if it really is the case.

it's like this. One's hdmi is connected its clones what show on Primes screen and that would be 720p when you are on homescreen,browsing, apps, games.
But when you start a movie and are connected to a screen with hdmi it will output the resolution that the video file have, if the movie is 1080p it will be 1080p if your screen will handle that resolution. The picture is only showed on the connected screen and on Primes screen you only have to media controls like play/paus seek and so on.

Is this true? I didn't find anything about hdmi.
It's supposed to work that way on normal Transformer too (since some update) but I never had time to test. Someone claimed that it works though - 1080p movies play by HDMI as 1080p not 720p.
I would like full 1080p desktop but I doubt it will be there. Not in HC for sure. Maybe ICS will add sth like that?
Per Anandtech, Prime supports ext NTFS volumes, and 4GB+ is allowed. This assumes you also buy the dock, since Prime has no USB.
"External NTFS volumes are supported and the sdcard file system supports files greater than 4GB in size, so I copied a 15GB 1080p Blu-ray rip of A Quantum of Solace from a USB stick to the Prime. I had to use DICE Player to get audio but otherwise the clip just worked."
Per TheVerge, reviewer reports HDMI output on 52" TV "felt like I was watching a Blu-ray movie." The implication is that it's 1080p output, although it wasn't explicitly stated.

The day when tablets gets 1080p screens and a OS that is setup for that you will get 1080p on the external screen even when you just use the homescreen,browser,App.
movies played on transformer when hdmi is connected will be shown on external screen in their native (correct word?) resolution.
480p will be 480
720p video will be 720p
1080p video will be 1080p
Homescreen and all other places in the UI will be clone to the big screen in 720p because primes screen is 1280*800

would been a good option that you could choose to clone the screen in 1080p and when you plug in the hdmi primes screen turns off and prime start acting same way like a computer that out put the picture to a screen and u use a mouse/keyboard to navigate

Hi guys,
I have a doubt regarding the video playback of our galaxies... I'm checking the MHL output, and I have a couple of questions.
The TV reports 1080i, although I'd like to choose 720p, if that's a possibility. In the end the TV's native resolution is 720p.
Also, I'm afraid the video quality, although nice, isn't really hidef. I feel the video is downscaled to the resolution of the phone's screen (800x480), then upscaled to 1920x1080 for the MHL output (and then downscaled again by the TV to 720p). I'll have to say, the result isn't bad, but far from good. Do you know any way to play a video either at 1080p or 720p? Is there a way to choose the MHL resolution?
Thank you!
