What does HD in app name mean? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I look in the play store and see some apps eg WorldsGreatestApp and next to it I see WorldsGreatestApp HD.
What does the HD mean?

High definition.

HD for High Definition, also an indication that the app will be suited to larger screened devices such as tablets.

Are there android apps optimized for the Full HD resolution?

No, right?
So this display only looks beautiful and awesome when reading books, news,... watching 1080p videos? If that'strue then i think i'd go for the 300 because i usually watch 720p videos, which should look good on a 1280x800 screen and i only read books sometimes,
Browsing too, but for 720p videos TF300 should be enough.

so there are no optimized games or apps for this tablet? (even one)
What do you mean by optimised? There are many that look fine
There are some apps for FHD displays, search the Playstore.
Generally text will look better than on lower-resolution screens, textures won't, especially in games.

In my opinion *everything* will look better on the TF700. Besides the resolution, the contrast is WAY better on the TF700.
The difference is noticeable *everywhere* - I especially notice it while web browsing!
I don't know, if I were buying new and could afford it, I'd definately go for the T700 - it's slightly more future-proof at least - seems to me it's just better all of the way around....

Due to the way Android handles its resolution scaling, its not a problem for some apps. Basically, the infinity identifies as a 240dpi device. Any apps that run on both phones and tablets should be covered since the resources would be there for 240dpi phones. Tablet only apps and games would need to be updated, as would apps that don't properly handle doing scaling due to sloppy programming. You can see this in action with the stock Google apps.
And as the question was about the apps stop the blind advertising
PS The game is on! What a great show. So much better than in Beijing.

Well,just to let you know, connectbot makes full use of the display, it has the highest resolution terminal I ahve seen for a while.
Also, Chrome seems to make good use of the display.

Come on.. This is just text-based. See the posts above. The issue is GUI and textures.

Dead Trigger looks great and runs very smooth.
Pocket runs great.

how to tell?
can we easily test the resolution of apps?
Is there a way to take a screen shot and measure pixels, or the ratio of resolution?
After the recent firmware I noticed chrome looked more resolute, finer grained.
Especially google+ icons were smaller.
this is the only HD device so perhaps google android SDK needs to update first to support the screen size?
Perhaps the emulator would support our TF700 screen and other future device?
bottom line, how to measure apps externally for HD?

[Q] HD Netflix?

Is it still necessary to have a hack for Netflix to display on the higher resolution screens in HD... ??
or has Netflix been updated to the point that it streams in HD anyway now?
The app claims to auto adjust to HD when the hardware supports it and the stream speed is sufficient for it. For me, it appears as close to HD as my eye can tell.

[Q] External Monitor Questions

I'm looking into getting an external monitor for my TF700. 1920x1200 monitors start at about $100 more than otherwise similar 1080 ones. Will the difference in resolutions be a problem? Does the resolution of the monitor need to match the resolution of the device?
The external resolution will only go to 1080. Used to have crop and scale options before update to jb.

So it wouldn't make sense to buy anything at a higher resolution than that?
Sorry for posting twice in a row, but is there any benefit (or drawback) to using a 24" television as an external display compared to a 24" computer monitor of the same resolution?
With the same resolution, the only difference is really the audio since TVs usually have speakers/tuner and monitors usually don't.
No reason to get anything higher than 1080 unless you are doing something special other than connecting the infinity.

[Q] P900's Gpu

Hi. I wanted to know whether the Mali Gpu has enough power to render HD Games on a 12.2 inch screen without lack of frames or not! Has anybody with the Exynos version installed HD Games(Like Modern Combat 4, Asphalt 8,...) to see whether it's smooth or it has lack of frames?? Thanks.

Gaming perfotmance should be nigh identical to then note 2014 which if you have read the forums you know chews through all the high end games out. With exception of a few that arent optimized yet. Its a bigger screen but in the end its pushing the same number of pixels so no difference. Actually might be better because of 4.4. Emulators also work very nicely and are my preference for gaming.

I know that the number of pixels are equivalent but the pixels in note pro are bigger!

Unless resoultion changes there should be no difference, just as one should see no difference in frame rate when changing the size of monitor plugged into a PC as long as the monitors have the same resolution. The larger monitors simply have larger pixel sizes which in effect means they're the one doing the scaling for you, not the gpu. With similar hardware specs for both notes other than the display panel size one should expect the performance to be similar as well. Any variations in performance would likely be attributed to software improvements on the newer tablet.

That doesnt make any difference though. If the pixels are bigger (they shouldn't be) the gpu still sends the same number of signals and processess the same signals. It could be a 20 inch screen with the same overal pixel count and get the same performance. But anyways yes it rocks at gaming

HD playback

Afternoon all.
Recently got an upgrade and since I wasnt to fussed on the S5 I decided to get a Xperia Z1. .
Bad choice since id gotta used to samsung from S2 owned all S devices. . .so luckily i was given the chance to swap the xperia to a lovely note 3 
I really like it and since the specs dont differ much from the upcoming S5 ( camera slighty better and 2.5 ghz instead of notes 2.3) its a good choice i feel.
What i have noticed is the pixel density is lower from S4 and S5 but i really dont see it the difference in fact the note 3 screen seems better?
Anyway sorry for long intro but when i play HD youtube or even the HD helicopter video included on phone i cant help but think the HD isnt as clear or good as the S4 . .
Could that be the pixel density or something else?
Cheers guys

Well YouTube HD movies are little pixelated, download it and play from any video player.

Youtube hd videos are highly compressed. So quality isnt that great
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
HD on Youtube isn't really HD. It's 'close enough to fool everyone who can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080'.
They've compressed the video so tightly it' s become blurry. You don't notice it on an s4 because the screen is much smaller.

The S4 or S5 have the same screen resolution as the note 3 but are considerably smaller in screen size. As the picture is spread out there will be some slight degradation in hd quality but not so noticeable as to be called bad...
