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!
Hey forum! I just got my genuine HTC M500 MHL-to-HDMI adapter. It works great for Youtube, slide shows, etc. but the main reason I bought it was in hopes of watching Netflix on my hotel room TVs. Much to my dismay, when I play a Netflix movie through the HDMI adapter, the aspect ratio is incorrect. It doesn't matter if the content is 4:3 or 16:9, SD or HD - no matter what the image on the TV is squished. None of the other full-screen apps I have tried look wrong on the TV, just Netflix. Anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
find a cheap TV box, beelink, yet it doesn't work fine, play 4k movie with lag while it claims it support smooth 4k display.
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
