As per thread title, Im wondering how good the Transformer Prime's screen is for video watching?
Does it also handle MKV files w/o any issues?
During my short time with it, yeah it's great. The performance is great, you can even play HD footage on power saving mode, and the screen is one of the best LCDs I've seen. Tried the only 1080p footage I have (trailer for source code) and it was lovely. Streamed some 720p footage via DLNA over wi-fi too (louis ck standup) and that was also fine. I have noticed that with some videos, audio won't play using the standard player though. You'll need a player that lets you decode audio in software if this is case, such as MX video player.
Thanks for the feedback, anyone here with a Galaxy Note or and S2 that can provide feedback.. I understand that a 10.1" screen vs a 5.3 or even 4.29 might be an odd comparison.
looks clean to me, i had a br rip of transformer 3, looked amazing on the prime.
on my sgs2 look the same, but smaller, i have a screen protector thats all scratched up, but it looks great other than that.

I have the Galaxy Note and as far as the picture quality, it is slightly better in my opinion on the Prime. Then again, it's hard to really judge in comparison to the Note due to screen size. The biggest difference to the playback is the fact that the Prime is easier to see when outside or in a bright room. It has a screen boost which significantly boosts the backlight. Drains battery fast, but looks great. Hope that answers your question
All my HD movies play fine with built in video player after I extract the mkv, convert the audio from ac3 or dts to acc, then put into an mp4 container.
Great, the no issues at all.

MX Video Player plays MKV videos great, I play all my AVI, MP4 and MKV with no problems and they look great @ 720p
Last nite i streamed a full bitrate bluray rip (mkv @22 gigs) wirelessly to my prime via es file explorer and bs player lite. Performance was great, and quality was stellar, even during very busy scenes (the page flip at the beginning of every Marvel movie, for example).

Sounds like its a good replacement for my note as my primary movie device.
Ive read an article that asus plans to release a 1920x1080p version of the panel with fixed wifi/bt.. sounds like its the device to get!
Hi, I've been trying to stream from ice stream app to my evo/tv via mhl adapter the video quality on the phone is great but on my 40" HDTV its really pixelated.
I've tried different Alps like mx and mono player but all seem to compress the video. Is there any way to not loose the stream quality from phone to TVs
Thanks

Maybe stream quality is not good?
not sure if it works for all tvs but on samsung tvs there is an info button that will tell you about the resolution and hz. the resolutioiin you probably know about but the hz is also important. hz indicates the maximum framerate of the input. it should be 1080p @ 60hz.

Chances are its the source and not the connection or player. The evo's screen resolution is less than hd, so it would look better on the evo than big tv if the resolution is smaller. Try a local file to compare and make sure it's not really a connection issues.

stream
Have had the best luck with serviio (free) and videos etc streaming from PC on 51" panasonic (not the best TV) are as good as anything else out there IMO. Just easier to transfer to PC and run from there...quality is MUCH better

I think its the 3d or maybe the mhl adapter/cable coz when i try to mirror a HD video (1080p) on my tv it lags and looks pixelated too....it lags on evo 3d as well.
Same video looks great when played through a pendrive on TV.
I think when using MHL the refresh rate is 24hz hence less fps.
But dont know what is the video quality issue here.
I play netflix, 1080p & 720p locally stored files, YouTube and various other sources. Locally stored content plays perfect. Netflix is watchable but not same as hd from computer to tv. This is bc some sources stream lower res/lower bit rate to ur phone bc its a phone. Not an hdmi mhl issue

I've read that the RAZR performs exceptionally when streaming movies from your device to your HDTV, but I get around 20 FPS on regular Xvid movies. FPS are much worse with 720p streaming. Have anyone else tried it, to see if they get low FPS? I'd like to know if I've just screwed up my device somehow.
Just bought a HD6 and it looks like it will only download in 720p
Is this the case for all Amazon HD tablets. Or do any download in 1080p
I am looking for the latter along with hdmi out (slimport or standard)
This is so i can watch them on my tv as there is no way to transfer videos from the tablet
Thanks
