If you are looking for a good portable beamer I recomend Philips Picopix 2480.
Has all needed ports (mini usb, mini hdmi, sd-cardslot, headphone connection) and very useful internal memory (2 Gig).
Just plug and Play
Sounds interesting, can you post some pictures with a projected movie?
Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. They were made with phonecamera.

I have gotten a TF101 to test it out as a supplementary mobile client.
We are running Citrix and I have a desktop published throug Citrix Receiver. I have found keyboard and mouse that works with this wonderful machine but I want to have an external display also.
But I find the HDMI support quite bad. The content fills more than the TV Screen and I cannot change the screen resolution. I would like to have a larger screen resolution on the external display but cannot find any way to do this.
I have a LG Optimus 3D phone and on that I can adjust a lot of options on the HDMI port so it should be possible.
One snag: I am testing out this to be used in large scale for hundreds and eventually thousands of users so this needs to be working on completely stock operating system.
Maybe the Asus HDMI to VGA Adaptor is something to think about?

Ok. I got this one and it almost fills my need. I need to get a higher screen resolution on the external display. 1280x720 is way to small for a permanent workstation. At least with the tools I use.
Maybe I just have to wait for ICS to get this working?
Are you trying HDMI on a TV or a monitor? If a TV does it look washed out and a little zoomed in? TV's have some over scan options that really mess with the signal from PCs. Look around the menu options of the TV and see if you can turn it off, alot of em can't tho. Just google HDMI PC overscan and you'll get a better picutre of what I'm talking about.
For res I don't think it can do better than 720 and I've never seen any options for it. I'd call up Asus if your going to be making a decision that could mean eventually thousands of sales for them.
Also don't forget that they said they're launching the Windows 8 Transformer this year. That should suit your needs beautifully.
How are you accessing your Citrix Desktop? Using the Receiver? Or is there another app specifically for Citrix Desktop access?
EDIT: Never mind, the VDI i was trying to access was taken down recently by the systems team. Do'h. Time to build a server.
Me personally I've been using the citrix beta app, seems to work better.

I tried with the VGA adapter on my 22" samsung syncmaster and the desktop filled the screen perfectly. Via HDMI to my 42 inch HDTV I got overscan problems.
It is though the monitor I need to use to acheive my goal of using it as a citrix thin client. I hope we can manipulate the HDMI output more in ICS. It would be nice to use the monitor's native resolution (1680x1050).

Agreed. It has more options and seems more stable. Go figure.
The TF101 does not support greater than 720p output for mirroring. No word from Asus if they will ever bump it up to 1080p capability, since the Tegra 2 already struggles with 1080p video playback. You should wait for the TF700T for full 1080p output.

Actually 1080p is not what I need. 1280 is more than enough horisontal resolution, but 720 vertical is too little. If it could output 1280x1024 on an external monitor I'd be very happy.
What I say is that there should be an alternative to mirroring on the HDMI port. With the dock and usb ports the interal screen could be switched off and a resolution of choice be shown on the HDMI-connected display.
Anyone who's got the phone yet tested if the One S outputs 720p through HDMI?
It's basically the only thing I can't find, I did however find that the One X does, but it has got a 720p screen itself.

Hello,
I have connected the one S to my sony HD TV.
the result is a bit disappointing for two reasons:
quality is not so good
latency for example when slide photos is high
I'm using a MHL cable from PNY:
PNY Adaptateur MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) vers HDMI®
supposed to be compatible up to 1080p.
I didn't check yet the format resulting from TV point of view. I will try to find that and tell you.
For photos on TV, the Sony and HTC integrated DLNA is far better but not working all the time(seems that the TV is not visible as DLNA client all the time)
Bonus question: Is there a difference from using an MHL-adapter og the wireless dlna thingy?
Probably more lag with the wireless. Its not the best i've used it on 1080p and 720p, I think its outputting the native resolution of the phone.
Anyone got some new inputs? Thank you

I am looking forward to getting a bluetooth keyboard&mouse combo and an MHL cable.
I am surprised that it doesn't do 1080p, I thought that was native to ICS and that the GPU/CPU is the same as the One X

Yeah I thought it could do that too, and the reports of lag when outputting is kinda strange. It should be fast enough at half of full hd..
I have tested again MHL after upgrading to 2.21. Now scrolling in the gallery is smooth and videos are read in full 1080p(recognized by the tv).
I even have tested games, it's awesome!

I ask as I used to use a Fiio E7 with my iPhone 4 before switching to my current S4 (the amp is now being used as my laptop DAC and with my iPod classic).
Was wondering with my S4, is a headphone amp needed?
Currently using Poweramp to listen to music and my listening gear consists mainly of closed back, wired headphones (e.g. Sennheiser Amperior, Ultrasone Edition 8s etc).
Thanks for any insight! :thumbup:

required? no.
will it make your music sound better? yes
The amp will make the sound louder and maybe will lower the quality. For better sound quality you will need an DAC.

pretty much all portable amps these days comes with a dac.
Headphone? No.
Earphones? Maybe.
I have the Sony XBA2 and it would start crackling at 10/15 volume when the bass hits. The FiiO E17 solved that.
This is the one you want...

A quick post, I've been researching the possibility of using a tablet as a true home media centre.
So I've tried many, but a few have stuck out.
Basically an inexpensive tablet, that has solid state storage, is easy to use, fast n smooth.
This can play videos, games and double up to do it on the big screen, but also play music, not any music, but true 5.1 surround sound, 6 seperate channel, surround sounds.
Basically the tablet would be a true all rounder.
The nabi 2 with hdmi and sd card slot was fantastic and now the nexus 7.2 with slim port, but no sd card.
If any has another choice to cover all bases, please add to this post.
Also check the nabi 2, nexus 4 and nexus 7.2 being demoed to output true 5.1 surround on you tube.
Ill post a link, please do post your links as well
These tablets may revolutionise how we could inter rate within our homes now the power is there!!!!
Here's a quick youtube link

First of all...note 3 is compatible.with fiio e 17 alpen. The output is from usb port with a standard micro otg usb cable.
Second:
The sound in headphones is very clean comparable with s4 or even better.
I'm looking forward for the full review from gsmarena to see the results of audio test but for my ears it's at least even or even better than S4 and a lot better than Xperia Z Ultra.
I own snapdragon version of note 3. My headphones are senn momentum black. The note can,t drive those headphones at full potential but the sound is loud enough for a " normal" person. I like the sound louder, but I could live with the power of the N3 without external amplifier.
