[Q] HDMI Output Resolution Support - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I cannot seem to find a thread on the internet regarding this exact question, nor do I see it addressed.
The Tegra 3 has the ability to output 2560x1600 via HDMI.
However, Android lacks the most basic HDMI settings. The only way I can view my TF Prime's screen on my computer monitor is by mirroring it. Meaning, I can only resolution it displays on my monitor is 1280x720 @ 60hz.
My monitor supports 1920x1080 @ 60hz. Now, playing a 1080P blu-ray on the prime? The screen shuts off, and actually outputs at 1080P! It's beautiful!
However, we do not have the setting to extend, or set a primary display to match a native resolution to 1080P displays. WHY!?
The hardware is ready to do this. Has anyone done this?
My prime is currently connected to a usb mouse and keyboard, and is hooked up to my monitor. But this blurry display is killing me....

unfortunately that is a known issue. That is how all android devices work currently as far as i know.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully google does something.

Hello, well I'm in a worse boat than you. My device, acer 510 is 16:10 natively as well, but my display is 16:9 and the bottom is cropped off so I miss the ui buttons. I'm considering returning my device and getting an asus tf300 just because of this.
I've been discussing this on end in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26479317#post26479317
So to confirm, you are outputting to a 16:9 device and nothing is being cutoff? The prime 's native resolution is 16:10 aspect no? Are you using the scale/crop option? My understanding only asus provides an hdmi option like this currently.
I'm trying to find a way to change the bootup resolution, (I think it can be done by modifying the build.prop file, but no idea if this will work or will it take effect over hdmi).

Same here, although I'm on ASUS TF300T I'm getting cutoff all around the display with both modes (scale and crop). My TV is running at 720p 60mhz

you are getting cropped because of your TV, if you hook up to a 720p monitor you should get 100% of the screen. if you read the manual for your tv you will find that alot of them are not true 1:1 pixel wise. you will have the same issue hooking a computer up to a tv, but normally you can go into the video card properties on a computer and adjust things. android at this time outputs 720p with no adjustments and if you have a 1080p tv/monitor when playing movies it will do 1080p, but the ui is in 720p only at the moment.

So what you are saying there is no hope for me and my crappy tv. Going to try a 1080 video to see if resizes correcty. Even when I use 4:3 on my TV, which should just squish the display, the display gets cutoff from all sides.
WOW THIS IS SAD, even when playing 1080p video on MX Player it gets cropped WTF

For the curious, here is a video demonstrating it on an asus prime

He's saying it's a neat feature, and I guess it is, but I'd be happy with the scale and not the default crop of the acer. I've been assuming this is because my monitor is 16:9 but maybe it's by design and the same thing would happen on a 16:10 display.But I'm still curious as to why my monitor manual does not list 1280 x 720 as a valid resolution but goes on to mention it works with 720p video.

Crop and Scale are pretty minimalist options.
Scale for me, displays the full 1280x800 resolution and fills in most of the screen.
Crop lowers the resolution down to 1280x752 and the menu bar is completely gone.

I use a program called Videora Android
I like Freemake Video Converter. It can Rip from DVD, convert most any format, and outputs to many formats including common Android screen sizes. Also, it can not be beat for simplicity. There are not a lot of options to set like Handbrake, you just give it a source (or sources, for example join two Video-CDs into a single movie), and what you want to get out - then get out of the way.

I use Handbrake, rip to h.264 and change screen size to 800x600.
On the computer create a Video folder on the external SD card and put it in there. You can also put them on the internal SD if you haven't upgraded your external yet. I just got a 8g micro SD at WalMart for $20 as well.

Why would you convert it so a size that does not fit and will stretch? Thant makes no sense at all.
The playback issue most likely has nothing to do with what you used for the conversion but either it is a bad file or a issue with the phone. Does it play OK on your computer? If so then it is a phone issue, if not then does the original file you converted from play through OK? If not you can not create a good file from a crap one. If it does play, then something must have just gotten corrupted, try the conversion again. If it is a corruption issue I would run scan disk to see if this is a early warning that you need to be doing backups and getting a new hard drive.
I tried the freemake video converter. It works great and is faster then handbrake. I did notice that when playing the movie it didn't take up the full screen like handbrake does. Any way to make it a little bigger? Thanks
My movies froze at some point during play did that happen to you?

Ive noticed if you get a movie that is wide screen and in letterbox no matter what ypu do to the movie it will always have a little realistate there. I know a helpful hint to get a none letterbox movie to fit perfectly in 800X480 screen. In handbrake it always wants to convert to 720X480 or something like that. So i check the auto fit right under that and crop 20 pixels off the left and right side and then the auto fit will go up to 800X480. 20 pixels on each side is hardly anything you wont evev be able to notice.
Fear the beard...
I can't honestly say. I only played about a minute just to see what it looked like.

Thanks jay. Ill do that next time.

Ive tried the other dvd converters and none of them make a nicer, tighter file than handbrake. Others maybe faster but the quality wont be up to par with high bit rates and audio.

Freemake Video Converter will make the largest file that will fit the screen without stretching or changing the aspect ratio. That means either Height OR Width if the aspect ratio of the movie is different than the phone.

I don't know what you are watching them with, but the default video player lets you toggle between full screen stretched to fit, full screen correct aspect ratio, and original size. So the extra steps are not needed.

SERIOUSLY!?!? You are watching this on a 4 inch screen and you want to continue to use a bloated, overly complicated program that converts slower for QUALITY? I'll bet you keep all your music at 320Kbps Constant Bit Rate when you put it on your music player and then listen with cheap earbuds too, right?
No need to convert. Unless you just want to save space.
I just turned a 700 mb movie into 1.3gb by using a converting program.
WTF.
Okay but still I have a problem with some movies that freeze what's up with that

Email I sent to VIP escalations asking if NFC was built into the chip and night vision camera.
I don't think I'm going to miss the kickstand too much
Might just be me, but I swear the layout on the screen looks so odd, like the app/icons are adjusted weird or however you'd like to word it...
Other then that, it looks great!!
I think it looks good but I wish it had a kickstand. I'll getting it regardless. Can't wait till Summer! Hopefully they'll give us more of a demo!
I didn't think the kickstand would be for me until I started propping it up on my desk while doing work. It was easier to pick up phone calls via bluetooth while looking at it. I really want to see how the camera shots look and what kind of lens they are using. I think the camera bezel is huge and unnecessary but whatever.
What is the shell/casing made out of?
There was a kickstand accessory for the View, and i wanna say the guy said there is one for the 3D too.
The demo from drdrewdown is awesome. This phone is totally badass.. you can completely shut 3d off if you like... they said display looks much better than the original EVO.
My only concern is battery life... but I htink I'll begetting this phone.
Yeah, whats up with the lack of a kickstand? BSOD mentioned it still has one, but I do not see it. He also mentioned NFC, but I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else yet either.
Looks good I thing they should have gone more plain style like the iPhone 4 tho(look), I'll miss the kickstands, I hope the video quality is better then my current evo, this is what the nexus s should be ha ha, definetely going to get it tho

That's because of the higher resolution screen
BSOD stated the NFC but who knows if it's included in the chip but not enabled. Also I could care less for 3D since the only thing I would be able to play it back on is the Evo. At least now people won't ask you if you have an iPhone when they see that huge camera bezel in the back.
I can imagine people selling screen protectors for the back and the front.
I'll miss the kickstand a lot. I love propping up my phone since i keep it naked and want to minimize scratching the camera lens.
So does this have the adreno GPU?
The one thing that BSOD mentioned that I was really excited about was WiMax+LTE. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about that mentioned during the liveblog on AC.
It's an awesome phone, no doubt about that, but I'm definitely not as excited about it as I was before. With the way things are going here in San Diego, it seems pretty much pointless to pick up a new phone that only has 3G/WiMax, as it doesn't look like we'll get WiMax anytime soon.
When is this phone scheduled for release or is it unknown ATM?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
So about those facts BSOD posted, which I said were incorrect.....
The phone is sick, but the EVO View truly surprised me. It's awesome. Anyway, adios.
looks kinda less sleek then the original evo to me...No kickstand is huge for me I use that like 100 times a day at least lol...Loving the internal specs tho wow that phone is a beast...damn decisions decisions lol

Just sometime in the summer.. No specific month unfortunately.
My guess is around when the original Evo was released.
I think I am sticking with my launch day EVO. Not really impressed by the EVO 3D. EVO View seems kind of useless.

Idea For Next Prime

Ever thought of a pad Without bezel border? Maybe that is why Acer and Apple's pad use such high resolution. They Fill the entire surface screen with Pixels!
The Ideal is to have Virtual bezel that will only go full screen when watching movies or dynamic bezel borders that depends on programs or environment.
just thought of it and think it's a good idea...
a) where would you put your hand when holding the device?
b) The transformer has a higher resolution than the iPad and >= any tablet that acer produces, so I don't have a clue what you are talking about there.
1) still has Bezel in main screen. only when watching movies the bezel will disappear. and u can still hold it, but won't effect it. That is what i mean by Dynamic bezel.
2) the new resolution will be 1920X1200, that is extreme packed density. So bigger area will result better yield in display and a seamless border. Like the new High end LED TV
Just a Thought, and thought it will be Different.
the resolution for the ACER Tergra 3 confirmed to have 1920x1200

I believe he's referring to the iPad 3 and Acer's upcoming 2012 tablet (that indeed will have 1920 x 1200 resolution): http://androidcommunity.com/acer-iconia-tab-a700-sends-photos-from-russia-with-love-20111229/
I'm not sure exactly what he wants out of a "virtual" bezel, but I'm pretty confident the trend will be towards smaller bezels.
I wonder if Tegra3 is powerfull enough for such resolution... The resolution is quite nice though - not need to worry about HDMI output because it's the same as your TV/LCD (apart from more pixels in height) etc.
1) I hope if they can add 2GB RAM to support window$ 8 and higher!
2) 3D screen

Virtual bezel would be interesting. But it would only work with an AMOLED screen. LCD screens when "black" draw too much power. Edge to edge display that has a 1/2 inch virtual bezel that could be controlled by the user...pretty crazy idea.
Do not want virtual bezel.
I have large, meaty hands. My pads wrap around the devices I am carrying. Already I have problems with touching the screen when I don't mean to because of this. And I do not want to change the way I grip things because my grip, while very gentle (after 12+ years working with military grade electronics), is quite secure.
>where would you put your hand when holding the device?
This is a pet peeve of mine wrt tablets. Why must we grip it with the thumb (on the bezel)? It puts a lot of pressure on the thumb, which means faster hand fatigue. Why not have a built-in (removable) handgrip at the back? Like this below:

I am pretty much pleased with Prime's display, dont need it any bigger than current size. Bezel size is also not that big, but the dynamic bezel would be a good innovation, if done right.
What I would really want in next prime is :
- 3g or LTE of some sort
- Wi-fi Direct (I am not sure if it can be enabled by s/w fix)
- Stereo speakers
- IR sensor (I know it is oldschool, but I like this thing on Sony's tablet S)
- Bluetooth 4.0 (I really dont know why I want it)
I am not so worried about USB 3.0, as I believe Wi-Di is the way to go. If future cameras or SD cards comes with built in Wi-Di, it should be able to send the pictures directly to the tablet, for editing and sharing.

Samsung Note i717 1080p recording "zoomed in effect" FIX :( ? ?

Our i717 Note it only records 1080p with the middle/center sensor. Is it limited bc of hardware? bc when I record 720p it feels like its zoomed out but thats bc its using the whole sensor and thats not happening when its recording 1080p(feels like it's zoomed in). Any way to fix that?
EDIT: The international note does it as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpluo2kcBuo So is it really about hardware? or software? Any way to fix it?

I don't understand what you mean by "using all the sensor". There is only one sensor in both the int. And US note.

I mean its using the whole sensor where as recording in 1080p its only recording in the middle of the sensor instead of using the whole thing. Try it yourself, record in both 720p and 1080p. You will see what im talking about.
Opps double post.
Yeah I tried it and maybe I'm just an idiot but I really can't see what your talking about. All I know is the 1080p (or whatever the max is on the phone) looks freaking sweet on my tv when I record. I guess if you had side by side comparison videos we could see what your talking about

Yeah, I get what the OP means/ I also have the problem. When he says it only uses the "middle sensor" It means that the video on the phone is cut in half. It's the same effect as iPhone 4 Pictures/ Video Where Pictures would be full size whilst video seemed to be zoomed in.
well considering 180P has more pixels than 720P. the 1080 is probably zoomed in to fill up the screen whereas the 720 will natively fit the screen.
regardless our screens cannot natively output 1080p only 720P. (1920 X 1080 or something)
1080p will be zoomed in and the left and right will be cut off. (1280 X 720)
720 p will be letter boxed.
well thats my guess
interesting. I also noticed that the video was "zoomed in". I thought it was normal since my girlfriends iphone does the same thing. I guess in order to find out if its truly zoomed in would be to watch a 1080p video on a computer to see if what was actually recorded is wider (shows more picture) than what is being shown on the phone. Still..if the international version isnt "zoomed in" i wonder why the att version is..

As you can see here that's not the case. 720p on the left and 1080p on the right.

Yeah, I get what the OP means/ I also have the problem. When he says it only uses the "middle sensor" It means that the video on the phone is cut in half. It's the same effect as iPhone 4 Pictures/ Video Where Pictures would be full size whilst video seemed to be zoomed in.

No that's not what I mean . In 1080p recording it only records within the middle of the sensor. Look at the post above and you will understand.

As you can see here that's not the case. 720p on the left and 1080p on the right.

So 1080p is more zoomed in? Anyone with an international version want to show if their 1080p is zoomed out?

I was wrong, the international note does it as well and that has a stronger chip inside. ------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpluo2kcBuo LOOK HOW BAD 1080p looks compared to 720p!
Maybe it could be fixed by software?
BUMP! There's no way to fix this? Like I want to use 1080p video but it doesn't use the whole camera sensor
so...no fix?
having this problem on my galaxy s 2 t989, as far as i remember with stock rom 2.3.6 it was fine...since i updated to ics 4.0.4 (oficial t mobo version) the issue started...tried custom roms...jelly bean roms, android 4.1.2 , 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 and the problem still the same

Comparing the two pictures posted above, 1080p actually looks a lot better than the 720p sample. It's just more zoomed in. I've had the same experience with mine. It looks worse while recording, but once I transfer the file to a computer or TV, 1080p looks a LOT better than 720p. I was a bit pissed off at it when I first got the phone, but I grew to love it. I can get closer to the subject without actually moving closer. It's led me to get some really great close-ups while shooting video. Phone cameras are generally very wide-angle, and it's kinda nice to have a mode that works a bit like a telephoto lens. Think of it this way: FREE OPTICAL ZOOM!

Photos from My DNA today 56k.

I got to try out the stock camera on my DNA today.
The pics do it justice in high light situations. But noticing that they will do poorly on Zoomed and dim photos.
Here are unedited shots.

Any tips on enhancing it even more to get the most out of the DNA camera? any mods?
In low light conditions, switch the ISO to 200 and use flash, it will take decent to nice pics that way, especially if the object or person isn't that far away... It may be a little hard to see the object/person but I think it does well..
Nice pics
Hope it helps
You might also note that the default resolution w/ a widescreen (16:9) picture is only about 6 megapixels. If you switch to the 4:3 resolution, it will use the full resolution of the sensor and give you 8 megapixel pictures.

One thing to keep in mind if you do this is that if you want to use the front camera you should switch it back to 16:9 to get the most resolution out of that one.

Interesting tips didn't know that about the resolution.

Yeah, the full blown 8M pics deff do a lot better, not to mention they're friggin huge.

If you use dropbox, box, or bitcasa, you can automatically sync your pictures to your account. Take pic, auto upload, then delete off phone (if space is an issue.)

The 8 megapixel picture will produce a larger file, but does it actually add in terms of better sharpness and richer details? I am just worried that the relatively weak sensor (it's a cell phone after all) will not be able add much more useful data beyond the 6 default megapixels, just more interpolated fluff.

My understanding of the way the sensor is creating widescreen (16:9) pictures, is that it is cutting the top 10% and bottom 10% of the picture off. Setting the camera to 4:3 gathers data from the full sensor. I don't think it the interpolation is changing.
Another way to think about the 16:9 picture, is if you set the camera to take a 4:3 picture, and then printed the picture, you would have a picture with a 4:3 ratio. If you then cut the top 10% (or so) and the bottom 10% (or so) of the picture off of the print, you would then have the same 16:9 picture that you would have had if you had the camera set to the default setting. It doesn't really effect the 16:9 picture, but you aren't utilizing the full surface area of the sensor.
