So I finally got around to playing with hdmi on the transformer. I must say, I am very disappointed in the quality of the output.
First off, my display (a 50" plasma) is set to 16x9. The picture is chopped about 40-50 pixles on every side. Like the screen is zoomed in larger. What's going on here?
Second issue is that I was able to get streaming video from hulu working, but the quality is not very good. The picture is blocky and choppy. Youtube is the same.
So why is video quality so bad and is there a fix?
Thanks!

Sounds like maybe it's because you are watching low def content on a hdtv?
your overscan settings are wrong.

seems most of the video I watch have what a appears to be a white sheath over 90% of the video. The bottom 10% looks fine. The video looks ok and plays fine, but its obviously not producing the best quality.
Is this a ROM issue or just how the phone is currently rendering flash video?
Thanks.
Hello
I use the HDMI output on the xoom for playing snes games om the tv. When i connect the Xoom to my 40" sony full hd tv, the desktop gets chopped off on all sides. Why is this?
I can understand that it chopps away the bottom status bar, but i loose some of the sides as well. Is there anyway to adjust the output?
I haven't found a way to reduce the overscan. I've adjusted it a tad on my TV, but nothing had fully removed the overscan. I think it intentionally runs that way.
Same here.
It´s very annoying.
If you have overscan problems, it's your TV, not the Xoom. See if you have a "just scan" option on your TV set, my Samsung does and it produces a 1:1 picture.
Hi,
I have a HTC sensation xe and have bought an MHL-HDMI connector but when i plug it into my TV is it poor quality, its almost as if its just taking the resolution on the screen of the phone and stretching it to the 40" screen on the TV, rather than outputting a 720p signal. Furthermore, i tried connecting it to my 22" 1080p monitor and the results are the same.
Is this normal, surely i should be able to output at least a 720p signal.
Is there any software that lets me play around with HDMI settings?
Also, when the HDMI is plugged in with the power plugged into the converter, i always get the message "the phone is using more power than the supply" so it drains my battery no matter what, iv tried closing all unwanted apps.
Have i got a dodgy converter? should i try a different ROM? im currently using revolution (newest version)
is the video you are trying to play actually recorded in 720 or 1080? if you are for example playing a video recorded in 320 x 240 (low) the tv will stretch to fit the screen.

Iv tried videos recorded in 1080p by the phone and iv tried videos iv downloaded to the phone from my pc that are on 1080p, 720p and an SD clip of family guy and they are all poor quality.
iv also tried angry birds and still images.
its like everythin has sharp edges, round objects on the screen have square edges (if that makes sense?)
When using the web browser (dolphin HD) the text is quite big and clear but youtube videos and flash apps are bad quality.
i just need to know if playing a HD video on the sensation should be about the same quality as playing an MKV file on the PC, if so, i have a problem and will try a re-flash.
Thx for any help
Hi guys, when i was recording 60fps video two days ago, i saw that now and then the sides of my video gets blurry (for less then a second) . Sometimes its the right side of the screen, sometimes the bottom, sometimes top..
For example:

My question is: is this normal, do you guys have the same issue? I couldn't find anything on the internet about this.
This is probably the effect of electronic image stabilization (EIS), I've seen it also on my 4K videos. Try to turn off SteadyShot and see if it helps.
When watching videos on widescreen mode, a little part of the down side of the video remains hidden...it cuts it off.
Do you know how to fix this... ?
