I've notice different things that the TF300, TF200, and TF100 are able to do that the TF700 cannot:
Built-in bluetooth support for PS3 controllers Fixed in JB
HDMI out issues: HDMI over DVI does not work. Also, the TF700 is missing the HDMI menu option called "scaling". Both are fixed in JB
unable to lock the navigation bar Fixed in JB
can't change the mouse pointer shape it's in a different place - under asus customized setting
I hope these are addressed soon, since they appear to be software issues. The DVI issue is particularly troublesome as it prevents me from replacing my laptop. I have a theory that the HDMI driver in the TF700 doesn't implement the protocol that the monitor relies on to determine resolution.
I'll keep this list updated.

Isn't scaling unnecessary because of the native 1080p resolution?
Noticed also the ability to lock the navigation bar below is missing. I used it a lot when I had the Prime for games and watching movies and letting my 5 year old play with my tablet without accidentally hitting buttons. Missing it. Hopefully they bring that back with the new JB coming soon.

Your monitor may have a setting in its' on screen menu to disable or control its' own automatic scaling. For example, my monitors have a setting called Aspect Control which I can set to 1:1 to prevent stretching a lower resolution video signal.
I noticed that mouse pointer options in the settings menu is missing, on my prime I would use the blue ring as a pointer instead of the black mouse because it was easier to see

This is my biggest complaint, too. Other than that, I'm pretty happy. Hopefully this'll get ported over with the JB update.
No lock bar.
Wifi Direct connects but doesn't work. (might as well not be there)
No Face Unlock
When Dock connected it doesn't actually show that it's charging with the >> lit up. Also, my dock seems to drain while the TF700 drains. Only way I can tell it's charging is by looking at orange button on top of Infinity.
Would have been nice to have HDMI options when connected, although on a 1080 it doesn't need it (but it does have extra pixels)

The dock charges the tablet and will keep the tablet charged to a certain level until it is completely discharged.
I am missing all of these features too.. especially the hdmi options. Can anyone get their tf700 to output actual 1920x1200? I have monitors that are that res and it still only outputs 1920x1080! I can't find any way to change this but I would like to find a work around or some way to set the config in the tablet to output native res only.

As of now the software on the TF700 will ONLY output 1920x1200 resolution. Unless you have a monitor/tv that can adjust the input itself and downscale it then no you can't use it. I don't know of any android apps out there that allows this to happen at this time.

That is not true!! I want to see someone with a native 1920x1200 lcd that has it connected to the infinity at native resolution!! It will only output 1080 on vertical resolution. I have tried several 1920x1200 native monitors and even bought a brand new one for $300+ and it will not fill the entire screen no matter what. I want video proof of this claim-- someone, anyone, have a native 1920x1200 monitor that they can hook up to an infinity and use the monitor's menu to display the current resolution as 1920x1200?
There may be no apps that currently support that resolution but the launcher and other infinity screens should run at native res.
Word to the wise neo- test it before answering. You need a monitor that will support the native res... not very many monitors out there run at that resolution natively.

Bluetooth support is there, get the sixaxis app its better than the default support anyways, lets you customize screen touches, etc. and set different profiles for different games.
HDMI over DVI does not work on newer devices because it costs manufacturers LESS to have the security / id profile included in their HDMI devices. Basically, when you plug in a device over HDMI the two devices talk to each other and set up a sort of security protocal. DVI does not have this and a lot of legacy devices do not have this which is why DVI to HDMI works but barely. You also have this problem with MHL adapters for your samsung phones, some MHL adapters support this newer profile, some do not. Those that do not don't work with some TV's. Just do your research and make sure the tech your connecting is compatible. Its like saying "My truck doesnt run on electricity! Why do i have to use gas?"
Scaling was needed when the HDMI signal being transmitted was lower resolution than 1080p. Since were transmitting a full HD signal there is no need to scale. Its already 1:1. No need to choose between upscaling or sending a smaller resolution and having it stretched or having it windowed or whatever. That is like asking why you get no money back when you buy your morning coffee and give the person exact change. I dont understand why so many people complain theres no scaling feature when if you stop to think about it you realize its a useless feature on this tablet.
Lock the navigation bar would be nice. Its about the only "feature" i can tell were missing.
Mouse pointer shape can be changed. I forget where the setting for it is, someone posted it on the forum here somewhere, mines currently the circle instead of the pointer. You can also root into the tablet and change what image it uses. Theres a thread about it somewhere....

So your answer to this thread about features we are missing was to tell us that you are not missing the features... save 1... then discount the need for features that others find useful and needed??? Nice post.
Scaling is needed on any device that may need to output to a different resolution than what the device is at natively.... not like asking for money back when getting exact change... pretty bad analogy. Saying there is no use for this function is silly. There may be no use for you, but many others out there would love that option and I think you are in the minority of users who think it is useless. A more tactful way to approach that would have been to ask if there was a reason that people need it. I can say without a doubt that it is a feature that I am asked about frequently since I support a large number of these tablets. I have had very little luck getting hdmi output to be reliable and compatible with full size monitors. The suggestion on the first page to set the ratio to 1:1 is no help since most monitors do not have that option... it is the monitor's default mode already and starts in that mode.
A couple of things you wrote are wrong.

You are referring to HDCP. DVI does support HDCP. Both monitors I tested with are HDCP enabled and work fine with other HDCP devices over the same HDMI-DVI adapters that I used to test the TF700 with. Here is an informative article http://tv.about.com/od/hdtv/a/hdmidvihdcp.htm. You have to have a really old display not to support HDCP.

A scaling setting is needed for connecting the TF700 to a 1200p display. I have yet to experience this; but I've read that the TF700 will scale 1080p up to 1200p. It would be better if it did 1:1 on 1200p monitors. see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31420239&postcount=8

This may not be wrong; but it would be a lot more helpful if you provided the location or at least a link to the thread. You might as well be wrong about this too.
The TF101 had 2 speakers, and although there were issues with the balance it was nice to not muffle a speaker when stood it up in my lap in portrait mode.
Not a tablet feature, but the TF101 dock had 2 USB ports.

Hi all,
I have been trying to find information about this particular feature. I know of a similar feature on the iPad 1 & 2, where Keynote can be used to project a presentation on an external monitor whilst being controlled by the iPad etc. via a connection add-on (VGA or HD output)
Is there any mention or does anyone know of support for a dual monitor setup using the HDMI out port or even the micro-USB port?
I ask because this is a feature I would love to see but I'm not interested in the iPad because of the usual 'Jobs' approach and besides, the Xoom has way better specs in comparison.
Many Thanks,
Craig

There was an article on Engadget recently about a new Android app that allowed that. I don't remember the name though. It was probably commercial app.

I don't want to split the signal from the Xoom, I'd like to create a second monitor similar to a computer dual monitor approach, like a second desktop if you will, where the Xoom would be a presentation controller and the HDMI Out signal would serve as the presentation itself, instead of duplicating the Xoom homescreen, where you could hold your finger on a part of the Xoom Screen and then on the output, a red dot like a laser would appear.
The idea is to offer a second screen, not mirroring the Xoom where you could create presentations, plug into a projector, and have the Xoom turn into a controller where you could preview upcoming slides, and then the outputted image, at the same time, would show the presentation full screen.
you can use a micro HDMI to HDMI and go directly to your projector or TV and it mirrors automatically. You can control everything from your tablet just fine.

still no cigar...
I think that many people did not quite understand what the OP was asking. He/she wants to hook up an external monitor to the Xoom and display a different image on the monitor as compared to the Xoom itself. On a Windows machine it would be called extended desktop. The iDisplay software does the opposite: it uses the Xoom as a second display.
Maybe someone else uses Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. You have a presentation mode there where, for example, you can see your PowerPoint presentation on a projector but the laptop screen will show the timeline, notes, and other useful options.
This option would be useful not only for PowerPoint presentations but also for watching movies from the Xoom on an HDTV but having the Xoom display turned off to save battery.
Not that this directly helps the OP but maybe someone else has any idea if there's a software for that need.
I get it, encase you want to watch two different porn0 flix at the same time. Nice...
I was thinking whether is possible to switch XOOM display off during watching the movie thru the HDMI. It could save battery. Anyone any idea whether it coould be possible?
Thanks

iDisplay would make the Xoom an extended desktop monitor for the PC and like funnycreature pointed out, the OP wants to use a secondary monitor for the Xoom instead.
Besides even if you wanted to use the Xoom as an external monitor for the PC (which I would actually like to do) iDisplay wouldn't be the way to go. After reading the reviews of the app it's not even close to being worth the $5 price tag. One person said that it will work on the Xoom, but is so slow it's pretty much unusable.
I bought the Asus genuine Micro HDMI to VGA converter http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Acc...ories/Micro_HDMI_to_VGA_cable/#specifications to connect my TF700T.
However, when I use this to connect to either an external Lenovo monitor, or a multimedia projector, the display is not accurate - just a part of the total screen from my TF is mirrored to the external device !
I now note in the specifications that this is compatible with the TF201 and TF300 - no mention of TF700. Is that because of the enhanced resolution of the TF700 as compared to the older ones?
Can someone please help ? I desperately need this working to get my TF up and running for professional use. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
To add on - the TF700 does show an updated status at the bottom saying micro HDMI connected - but that is on insertion of the connector. Also, I do get an output signal on the LCD monitor and on the LCD projector, but I do not get an output on my LCD TV using VGA.

I purchased this adapter from monoprice, and I cannot get a picture to show up on an external monitor.
I've tried a samsung which is 1920x1200 and a dell that is 1920x1080. Neither monitors detect a signal.
The cable and adapter work with my phone (LG G2X - tegra 2 based); but the picture is 800x480.
has anyone got this to work, and if so, was there a trick to it?
On my old prime I used a micro HDMI adapter a HDMI cable then a HDMI to dvi and that worked. Not sure about the infinity though
Your monitor also has to support the resolution that the Infinity outputs at (1920x1080 60hz). I have two wide screen LCD Monitors and one supports this resolution and the other does not.
My dell support 1080p natively, and my samsung supports it via scaling. I have used the same cable and adapter to hook up my tegra 2 based phone running 2.3.4. It will output 1080p when playing back a 1080p movie using hardware acceleration. It works with both monitors. The TF700 does not. I'm wondering if maybe it's an ICS thing (or a TF700 version of ICS)
Hmm, did you try turning off the 3D output?

toggling 3d has no effect.
I read that if you leave the tablet on the 3d menu for a few seconds it will toggle the scaling mode on the external display. Again, the monitors just say "no signal".
The hdmi out to an hdmi device ( I tried a TV and a projector ) works great. It just doesn't work over DVI.
I have a theory that this is a HDCP issue. That my hdmi-dvi adapter doesn't support it. I've ordered a new cable that I understand does specifically support HDCP. I report back if it works.

Just so you know, the cable is blissfully ignorant of any HDCP being transferred over it since it's an end-to-end encryption. The two devices being connected together needs to be HDCP compliant, the cable just transfers the data, whether they're encrypted or not.
You're right that it might be a HDCP issue though, but I don't see how a cable can cause that (unless it's a bad cable, that is). HDCP incompatability (in lack of a better word) isn't all uncommon, sadly. HDCP is an abomination and should be killed, preferrably with lots of fire.

A different cable did not solve the problem. As I type this, I have my PS3 connected to my samsung (1920x1200 ) playing in slightly stretched 1080p mode using the same cable that I bought for the TF700.
the PS3 is undoubtedly enforcing HDCP. It plays games and movies at full resolution.
so, I think that's it. the TF700 just does not work over DVI.
Wasn't able to find confirmation elsewhere, so I thought I'd post here to let folks know: the HDMI to VGA dongle for the TF300 does, indeed, work with the Infinity. I haven't been able to test it with my projector, but it works with the monitor just fine. The dongle disables speaker output, but the headphone jack still works.

FYI, the less expensive CableMatters adapter does NOT work. Save your time and money.
I can confirmed that i ordered this product (from amazon too) and it worked on my Asus Zenbook UX31E & my Asus Infinity tablet

Assuming you got the one I linked in my post, complete with the "Asus" logo, there are no settings: it's just plug-and-play. Could be you got stuck with a faulty adapter or (worse yet) a tablet with a faulty HDMI port. I'd try to RMA the adapter through Amazon and try a different one. If you get the same problem, sounds like your tablet might be the source of the difficulty.
I'm using this one ^ too and it's working fine for producing the right output on external monitor, but I'm not happy with it overall, as for some reason it LAGS the device, so the lagged output on a bigger screen is what I get with it...
Got a response from Asus and its more complicated now

Got a reply from Asus "Unlike a PC, Android on the tablet doesn't allow any resolution adjustments. So it'll be outputting 1920x1200. You didn't mention the make/model of the projector but you should check the available input range and check how this is handled, especially if it's not a full hd projector. Also check the projector settings and see what options are allowed for zoom/scaling the input."
So what they are saying is that this will only work with devices that support 1920x1200 as a resolution on VGA input. Can you confirm if your device does that, or does it have a max resolution which is less than this?
I checked my devices and both the plasma tv and the LCD projector are only capable upto SXGA (1280x1024) on the VGA interface. Now my questions revolve around the Asus MicroHD to VGA converter - does this only provide as an output what is the input? I noted that this works with the TF300 and TF200 as well - both of them are at 1280x800 - which means that this cable should be capable of outputting that signal... is there a way to make the cable downconvert to a static output of 1280x800? Or is it hardwired to output only what it receives as an input?
Asus is feeding you false information. It will not output the full resolution of the tablet no matter what you do.

I have never seen the crop or scale options on my tf700... not sure how any of you have seen that with a stock ROM. Here is the kick with a 1920x1200 monitor.... it will output 1920x1080! It will not allow you to output the entire desktop unless the monitor scales the image itself. Once it is scaling and you can see the system bar, now go into settings hdmi.. then hit back. You will see the image fill the horizontal resolution properly, but vertical is cropped and cuts off the system bar. In either mode, you will get 1080 on the vertical res.
I WISH it would output the full res with ANY HDMI monitor!! I have several monitors that are at the native res and none of them will allow you to display the screen properly. If anyone has any ideas how to force the hdmi res to the native res of the tablet, please let me know! This would solve an issue that I have been trying to fix or find a workaround to ever since the release of this tab.
The acer branded mini hdmi to vga adapter also works with the tf700

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

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.
