i connected the tf201 to my television screen through hdmi, but noticed the resolution on my tv was not the same as the tablet. it seems to be up-scaled and the sides are cut off. is there a way to change the settings on the output or fix the resolution?
On my Sony TV I have to change it on the TV to full pixle .
Nvidia always!

so you changed the settings on the tv not the tablet?
It was probably just an aspect ratio setting on the TV
the desktop of the prime is 1280x800, which isn't a 16:9 aspect, but rather 16:10, so TV's unless they are told to scale the image to fit, will cut off the edges of the desktop.

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).

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.

Would like a 1080p desktop too! I can imagine that this could be a problem due to not being able to use the touchscreen in that case (can't touch a black screen) but at least i would like to have the choice when i connect the device to hdmi (popup?)

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

Is there a way to get this tablet to output 1080p? It's cutting the edges off of my tv
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
From what I understood, so long as the source is 1080p (i.e. the file you are playing) then it would output as such. Otherwise it will stick to 720p.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
I think it has to do with the TV. On my TV, it cuts off the sides and bottom but not on my in-laws.

Maybe change the tv ratio? The FTP uses 16:9 or 16:10, if your tv uses a other ratio then you would get blackbars.
Tried that. The sides are cut off in any format. :'(
Hi all,
I have the HDX 7" (3rd Gen)
and
a Samsung Full HD TV (UE48H6700) 2014.
When I use display mirroring (edited: landscape mode) I get thick black bars on the left & right sides (regardless of which miracast adapter I test) .
I want to be able to mirror a 1080p movie to the TV, and have it fill the screen (1:1 pixel mapping).
How can I achieve this please?
(Adapters tested: Microsoft Display Wireless Display Adapter + Samsung Allshare cast)
Uh, just rotate the tablet?

Is the TV screen filled vertically? As in, is it fully covered from top to bottom?
If it already is, then it sounds like the aspect ratio of the tablet doesn't match the one on your TV.

The Fire HDX 8 and 7 inch both have a 16:10 aspect ratio but any wide screen TV has a 16:9 aspect ratio, so It isn't showing right (can a TV/Monitor person weigh in please?).

Yup - you'll either get bars or overscan if aspect ratios don't match. TVs vary but most are 16:9. Monitors are generally 16:9 but you can find some native 16:10s. Have to go with a Chromecast, Fire TV or equivalent if you're looking to perfectly fill the screen with video content. Probably not gonna happen with straight mirroring.

Right on all parts (I know this stuff, just not good at explaining) I actually have a 22-inch 16:10 monitor.
I have a rooted Fire HD 6 running Android 5.0. The tablet is mounted bedside as home automation control panel. Furthermore I'd like to use it as Plex Player to drive the video projector above my bed
I've purchased a MicroUSB SlimPort-to-HDMI adapter and AV basically works. The problem is that I only can mirror the tablets screen, which means the video output is only 1,280 by 800 pixels with a huge black frame surrounding it.
The Fire HD 6 hardware is capable of decoding full 1080p @ 60fps and the Slimport adapter supports 1080p as well.
Does anyone know how to squeeze full 1080p, so 1,920 by 1,280 out the MicroUSB port? I wouldn’t mind if the internal display would be shut off to do so (actual I'd prefer it). Is there a hack or app to adjust the Video output types and resolutions?
