I use Skype quite often, and I recently acquired an HDMI cable and I noticed an issue with HDMI plugged into my tv, I want to see the person I'm talking to on TV, but it shows myself on the tv, I kinda want the opossite, also I've had problems with the TV viewing the full android screen, help is appreciated. Thank you

I dont have answers to your questions but...
I think you get some cropping on android becuase the resolution of the TV and the tablet are different. If you go full screen with apps(video players) they actually pump out the 1080p resolution. Test it out... Fire up youtube search for 1080p and play it. On the tablet the little window where the video normally is but on the TV the correct 1080p resolution is played.
Check if your TV has the option for turning off overscan. If it has you will able to see the full android display on your tv without any cropping. My tv doesn't have it T_T, but I did tried on a TV that does and it worked.
Yea, that seems to be a tv issue since i tried with a different tv and it worked, but what about the skype issue, anyone have any ideas?

I plugged the tablet into a Samsung LCD TV and it doesn't seem very clear.. sort of grainy ..lost quality.. am I missing a setting somewhere? It looks OK don't get me wrong but an HDMI connection I expected to be a lot crisper.

I believe this too. i have a 1080p tv and it outputs to 720p which is fine but it is a bit grainy and the screen blinks alot when trying the youtube app as well.
surely it depends on what you are trying to view ....
Its anything I view. Its just lossy. Even idle at the main screen. I just thought it would be crisper. Its not terrible or anything.

you sure its not mirroring the TF's resolution?
Do you have to resize the output on the samsung ? All my samsung TVs look way better through VGA than HDMI with computers. FYI I dont own a EEE im just a TV geek.
Also make sure you plug it in the DVI labelled port on the Samsung.
if its a samsung set the screen size to just scan ........ that any better?
The issue at present I believe is that the HDMI out at present is showing at the same resolution as the screen even if it is a 1080p file. This will alledgedly be sorted in a future update.
What does hdmi out do on the transformer, is it full desktop mirroring or only used by some apps?
currently it will always output 720p, asus has stated it will be fixed in a future update.

Its full mirroring, so what ever you do on the tablet is mirrored on the TV.
I went to use HDMI output for the first time on the transformer today. I plugged it in, received the notification icon that HDMI was connected and the audio on the TF muted (redirected to the HMDI port), but I see no video or sound on the TV.
I know the cable is ok because it worked with my archos tablet.
The cable is pluggged in all the way and I've tested on two ports.
Any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem! Do I really have to root and apply a custom rom to get this feature?
i tried today to hook up my hdmi with 1/2 success. I get picture but no sound...
HDMI was fixed for me in one of the past ASUS updates - maybe with Honeycomb 3.2...
My biggest annoyance, however, is the fact that the bottom bar gets cutoff on my TV, so I can't access the back, home, multitask and menu buttons when using my bluetooth keyboard/mouse... kind of a pain.

What you need is custom kernel, not custom rom. The problem is compatibility issue with certain name brand tv's. I highly recommend clemsyn kernel. It's compatible with most tv's out there.

He's right. I had the same problem with hdmi out and solved it with clemsyns kernel.
But then came another problem, video subtitles doesn't show on the tv u.u
I just flashed Clemsyn's latest, Version 22A. Still nothing on my 32" Vizio, and I get glitchy static and half functionality on my Insignia 32" *Best Buy Brand*. And what does work, I don't have the bar on the bottom either Anyone have expirence with Vizio? I duno if it's the TV but from what I have seen Vizio doesn't play nice with any PC type inputs
Since I'm coming from the OG the only way we had HDMI was thru hacks or custom Roms. AT&T has said using your HDMI on the OG was considered tethering. Has anyone been using the HDMI feature that comes on the A2 for Netflix. Would love to be able to hook up to my big screen and watch Netflix again but at the same time I don't wanna lose my unlimited plan either.
Yes it works
I have another question about HDMI on Atrix 2 and i didn't want to open a new thread.
What resolution does it support?
Only 1280x720p or 1920x1080p too, and at what frame rates?
I would assume 1080p since it's HDMI but I may be way wrong lol

Yea netflix has issues at the moment for some reason or another. The crackling if you will notice is strictly when you use the netflix app I assume.
Hi all
I have had a search to see if there is a topic for this, but nothing.
I was wondering if the Asus tf300t would be able to extend the display via the HDMI to another display or tv like windows does. I want to use dual monitor mode if that makes sense. I don't want it to mirror my tablet display on the tv.
Basically I want my son to watch a movie on the tv via HDMI from the tablet and that leaves me to still do stuff on my tablet screen. This would be nice if we are not at home or on holiday on rainy days.
Cheers

Wrong place to post this
I dont think that is possible, as the chip for HDMI out virtually only allows for mirroring.

Not true, the same Tegra 3 is in the Surface RT and that device can extend its display on the HDMI port. Even to a resolution of 1920x1080.
I only think android can't do it because how would you control youre second screen.

Hi,
I've had the shield a while and I have been trying to start using the console mode, however when I use it on my LG 42" TV in the living room as soon as I go into console mode it has loads of graphical errors and this is due to it running at 1920x1082. So I thought I would try it on my Dell 2407WFP which can go up to 1920x1200, I had to purchase a DVI adapter for this to work, it works fine in both console mode and normal mode however the resolution is very low only 640x480, is this caused by HDCP at all? Or is there something else I can do to fix this, its really annoying me now.
Thanks in advance for any help

It's the cinema 3d LED TV, 42LM5800. It ran @ 1920x1080 (1080P) on both my LG and sharp TV. Yet to test my Vizio TV but I'm sure there wont be any problems there either. I'm betting it's probably the cable. I tried an offbrand one on my xbox 360 and it would only work on 720p, and even then the picture didn't look quite right. I switched it out with another cable and it bumped up to 1080, tried using the cheapo again and it wouldnt work at all on my 360 at that point, however it did work just fine on my wife's laptop. I also had a cheapo for my acer a100 tab, and it worked for a couple weeks then just crapped out on me. If you could i would try finding another HDMI cable to use and eliminate the possibility of it being the one you bought.
When you plug in your HDMI cables does your shield recognize it and attempt to switch to console mode?
Sorry for OT guys, but I need to ask and don't want to start a new thread for this sole reason.
I am willing to buy the Shield and use it as an android living room PC, connected via HDMI to a 40" 1080p TV. When I connect the devices, will the Shield output in 1080p a will it basically mirror the screen onto the TV? Because that's what I want - mirroring the device on a 1080p TV.
Thanks

It will switch to 1080p and output via hdmi when console mode is enabled
