Hi All,
Is there already somebody working on a workaround to display the screen correct on a TV?
Because the resolutions are different from tablet and TV...
I'm not a programmer... so thats why my question.
Cheers,
Peter

Just a quick question regarding Polaris Office and the HDMI connection (I've looked for an answer here and outside of XDA, but I can't find anything). I'm looking to see if I can cut the laptop tether when I'm lecturing and use Polaris, connecting to a projector via HDMI. Those of you using the tablet already, will Polaris recognise the HDMI port and, even better, will it output slides to it while showing notes on the tablet?
Thanks
I think a better question is "does this thing have full HDMI out?" If not, we will have to put a pool together to buy one for Shinzul

I just checked this out for you and unfortunately it's largely bad news. Yes, you can output Polaris via HDMI (as indeed you can output anything on the Transformer screen via HDMI) but you can't have notes on the tablet while having the slides on the screen simply because all the Transformer can do is mirroring, so whatever is on the tablet screen is mirrored on the external display.
Also the way that it outputs powerpoint slides is very limited. There are no transition effects, slide-ins, etc, it just throws up the whole slide. So, I'm not sure that this will be terribly useful for you. I also tried it with another Office suite I have (Docs to Go) and the situation was pretty much the same. However, other Office apps may do better in displaying powerpoint (I believe there is QuickOffice as well as Picsel Office, but I don't have either of those).
Also, I don't know if it's different if you create the Powerpoint within Polaris itself, I just used a PPT file I had to hand, maybe things are different when it's actually created with the app itself. If I have time, I'll give it a go.

And a better answer would be....yes, it does
As stated in the title, unfortunately my TV won't let me resize the image while using hdmi mode (don't know why...) and I can't see part of the image.
Is there a fix ? (even rooting)
thanks
I put mine in exact scan mode and it fit the screen correct, if you have that or a PC or gaming mode where it goes 1:1 with the pixels it might look better
Still couldn't fix this issue with my television screen, im attaching an image.
thanks
I have this issue as well. Hate it.. Anyone have a fix?
since I'm rooted I'd flash anything to address this boring issue
My TV has the same problem with different sources. Usually computers. It is a TV problem I think. However, my TV works much better with a smaller input size. It leaves about an inch around the outer edge. Hardly noticable though.
Maybe there could be an app for that. Like SetCPU does with OC's.
I had the same problem since the TV was looking for 1280x720 and the transformer is giving it 1280x800 instead. I was able to fix it using the built in scaling feature on my TV. Its an older Sony 720P DLP TV, so I'm sure most of the newer TVs have a similar scaling feature.

can't understand why but while in HDMI input it won't let resize the image, no problem with AV (like with my xbox)
I wrote about the same issues in another forum (asus transformer forum) and there are other guys experiencing the same issue.
thanks for the replies
I have this to not quite as bad but i cant see the bottom of the screen or a little bit on the edges but the top lines up sweet
I have tried everything hope somebody makes an app or fix for this maybe revolver parts screen resizing !!!!!!
Some tvs suffer from overscan and there is no fix. That being said, www.avsforum.com might be a better place to get more info on tour specific tv

Mx video viewer allows me to pinch to zoom in or out that is what I use cause it was driving me nuts as well.

Don't take this the wrong way but.... could be a cheap tv. My parents have an insignia and there is no 1:1 screen setting even on pc or gaming mode. It always cuts off the over scan space(no overscan).

I had the same overscan problem initially with my toshiba LCD TV, ie. the sides of the transformer desktop were clipped off but i fixed it via the Toshiba's screen adjust settings whereby you can select aspect-ratios such as "16:9", "4:3", "cinema" etc.
The setting that worked for me was "Exact scan". I believe it is called "Native" mode on some other brands of TV.
That's where to look.

Exact scan
Just scan
Native
Pc mode
Usually what it's called. Its just over scanning or a 1:1 pixel matching. But not every tv has this option.

I scoured the internet and these forums for an answer to this but found nothing. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know the max res is [email protected] and that is what my tv displays. I would like to set it to [email protected] (best for movies) or possibly even [email protected] (for gaming).
All I can think of is getting an adapter that tricks HDMI into thinking your TV isnt capable of doing certain resolutions, but I would rather not have to go that route.
Thanks.
if your tv supports it, force it into another resolution and see what the phone does with it. on my tv i can set the resolutions and refresh rates on the different inputs.
unfortunately my tv does not support that, who makes your tv? i have a 2009ish samsung lcd, i am pretty sure i know that tv inside and out but its possible the functionality is hidden away somewhere.
Hello experts.
Just wanna how to switch to differents outputs when I connect my tablet to tv or another material.
Actually, when I branch my hdmi to TV, the output is displayed on both screen but I want to show only on TV
It will save my battery and I would do something else on my tablet while the movie is running on TV
Like a multi task output
Should I look for an application or it is not possible?
Thank you.
Hey I need a hdmi key stone app for my dlp projector. I tried searching the net but couldn't find anything. Thanks guys
Never heard of an app for HDMI connector .
Google Play would be the most likely source .
re hdmi
Hey just checked again and no such luck.
