I just got the hdmi connector in the mail and it works great but when I play a netflix movie on the big screen it has 2 large bars on both sides of the screen as if it seems to be in a 4:3 format. Is there any way to fill the wholescreen?

Using my G2X/HDMI hooked up to my TV, the picture looks cropped. Can someone tell me how to fix this please? Also with NFS Shift, the picture looks blurry, is that normal?

Make sure your phone is on "auto" or 1080p in HDMI settings..... also might be the cable try it with a different HD device... I.e. a camera/camcorder

It is probably blurry because you have the TV set to FULL aspect and probably running a lower res that is getting stretched.
I have it running on my 24" monitor and seems fine. I haven't tried on my 55" LCD TV. The main OS is 800x400 so that getting stretched to 1080.
I use it on my 55" Samsung and it looks fine
The pic on my 55" Sammy was cropped on the edges and a bit blurry until I set the pic aspect to "Just Scan". (P-size was on 16:9). Everything cleared up.
hey guys were did u buy your cable ? or whats the name of the cable? plz help me out
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 bought an "HD" movie from the play store, but it really doesn't seem like HD. Its supposed to be 720p, but just doesn't seem that high def.

You should try couple "HD" movies before we can make a comment. Possible just a few are not up to 'HD" standard! just a thought.

Nice! please post update. Thanks.
You have to find a good Quality bluray rip.
Some file that I have look really good, some don't. The market HD are 720, if you get a 1080 bluray rip they look Great. Remember your on a tablet NOT a T.V. I'm am satisfied. Very happy with the playback. :good:
was planning on buying a few movies soon (long plane flights), looking forward to feedback on the quality of the other movies
Something you ought to know and remember:
Infinity TF700= 1920x1200 pixels
'HD 720' films = 1280x720 pixels
These so-called HD films are meant for a TV, which usually have a maximum resolution of either 1280x720 (HD) or 1920x1080 (Full HD).
Yes, your TV screen resolution is SMALLER than your tablet. Thus, the image is zoomed in on your tablet, making the quality degrade in the proccess. In the case of 720p, the viewsize is 150%. Meaning, there's a 50% zoom.
So is it worth buying the HD movie or should we just buy the regular movie if we just watch it on the tablet.

What's even more annoying is that when you spend 20 bucks on a movie through Google you can't even watch it on your tv through a hdmi cable. The screen goes blank every 5 minutes.

It has been my experience that even watching an "HD" movie from the play store on my TV looks just as bad or worse than watching it on my tablet. I tried watching Prometheus on my tab the other day, and it looked awful as well. It seems like the best option here would to just get some sort of blu-ray ripper and get movies that way, although I guess that seems to be frowned upon by some organizations.
I Agree, I got a couple of movies for a flight and they weren't high enough quality to call HD, zoomed in or otherwise. The amount of pixelation was disappointing. Not just pixels around objects but that big blocks of blur kind of pixelation.
I'm hoping it gets better.. Also if it matters, I downloaded the rental, not streamed.
Hi, I have a Sony Bravia W6 42" and I was thinking that if I buy a MHL cable for the S4, then I will be able to connect the phone to the TV and will be able to watch movies in full screen, those 1920x800 resolution ones which are normally can't watch in full screen, without those disgusting black bars!
My question is, what about quality? Will the picture quality degrade if I watch via MHL, than watching through a PHD or a Pen drive?
If someone has already experience in this matter kindly input here.
Thanks.
No one? I really need to know this.
Interested as well

I've used MHL on my S4 and my LG3DTV so I'll leave my first impressions. I'll try it again tonight to just be absolutely concrete but here's my immediate thougths.
1.) You need to make sure your MHL adapter supports the S4. There are some 5 pin ones and 11 pin ones. I have the Samsung adapter so I'm fine but make sure you get the right one.
2.) The black bars are part of the aspect ratio. Our screen is 16:9 so if your movie is 16:9 it'll fill the whole screen. Some movies use wider aspect ratios so you'll get the black bars on the top and bottom. I'll check tonight if you get the bars outputting to TV. I can't remember that.
3.) I believe there is some overscan (rather underscan) when outputting via MHL. It seems like I had a black border all the way around when I played a few games on my TV with MHL and a bluetooth controller (which is awesome by the way). Some HD games did fill the screen and was a pretty decent experience (NFSMW, A8, MC4, Osmos).
Again I'll test these out tonight and post some pics with my other phone so you can see for yourself before buying anything.

Ah finally someone replied. If I buy I will buy the original S4 MHL, that's not a worrying factor. But as you said, there's some under/over processing, hmm, that's what I was wondering! I mean if you clearly see picture quality degradation while playing via MHL in comparison to USB devices (PHD or Pen drive) then I will certainly not be interested, I will take black bars happily over a poorer picture.

picture seems to show nicely providing the res is HD (1920x1080) otherwise some pixelation (as TV and Phone is Full hd)
i get some lag when tapping the screen and overlay to pause skip video appears but when the overlay minimizes video starts again at normal speed.
sound works fine.
if phone is in portrait mode then ull have black on either side on tv .
ratio for tv 16:9 16:10 is fine
