Change Resolution on Nvidia shield? - Shield Q&A

How do I change resolution on Nvidia shield? The reason I am asking is because my HDTV is limited to 1360x720 while Nvidia shield is currently on 1920x1080 - LOOKS UGLY! How do I fix that? Thanks!

This have been asked and resolved on the geforce forums.
BTW, conect it without console mode, it makes the deal

I have the same problem with my tv, It does not display anything except the boot Nvidia logo at startup.
How do I do that to make it work on my TV. I have a samsung 22" Tv with 1360x720 resolution.

[Q] 1080p test, could Transformer owners give me a hand.

Hi all.
My Transformer is being repaired right now, but I opened a ticket with ASUS as I'm not sure that the Transformer HDMI output is actually doing 1080p. I think its actually decoding 1080p video to a 720p canvas then upscalling to a 1080p signal. I tested this before I sent it away but could I ask some of you who have 1080p capable displays to test it as well:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6553908/1920x1080overscantl7.m4v
This video was built from a 1080p test grille image and should have solid lines ever other scan line at 1080p (if you play it using a computer connected to a 1080p capable monitor at 100% the grille should be obvious.
On my transformer the output via HDMI was smooth and muddy, as if the image had been scaled down then back up. What you you get?
(BTW I posed this on Modaco as well to ask the UK crows for help, hope no one minds)
I can test this when I get home.
I'm pretty positive that Asus have confirmed that they are only outputting 720p at the moment as they're waiting for a honeycomb update to enable 1080p output (something to do with the fact it is mirroring). They did say there will be an update to enable 1080p output.

Really? I have a support ticket open with ASUS right now where they are confirming that their lab unit is outputting 1080p from a 1080p source. if you could give me a hint as to where you found that info I'd really appreciate it.
*EDIT* ah someone on modaco pointed me to this:

Looks like ASUS support (and their website team) aren't talking to the development staff.

Looks like you found the source I read for me - I've read soo much from Asus over the past month I couldn't remember where I had read it. Asus do seem to have issues with support not actually knowing what's what.
Hopefully we will see proper 1080p output once google finalise the honeycomb source, so maybe at google IO in 2 weeks
Any news ?
I tried to connect my transformer to panasonic 42" 1080p but i got a 'black screen'...it only works properly on a sharp 720p.....

TF101 as a citrix thin client

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.

One S video output resolution

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.
Michael
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!

[Q] 1080p feed through HDMI from a 1024x768 tablet

[Q] My device's screen and sending a 1080p feed through HDMI
Are these two things connected in any way? From what I understand, my current 1024x768 tablet can only send a 1024x768 feed that is upscaled to 1080p. Will buying a 2048x1536 device ensure getting a Full HD picture using HDMI? My TV doesn't support subtitles so I have to hook up a tablet to it. I want to get Full HD quality when playing video files.
Is this possible? Or is 1024x768 upscaled to 1080p the best I can get with my current device?

Thanks. What about a 1920x1200 device? I've bought one and will probably have it shipped by tomorrow or wednesday. Will it provide a native 1080p feed?

Yeah, that will give you 1080p (downscalled i guess).

Do these cheap ICS dongles show native 1080p image or is it upscaled?

I want to buy a very cheap, used Android TV stick for one reason only: to play 1080p video with subtitles on my HDTV. The only thing holding me back is the fear that the manufacturers aware of the limits of their hardware somehow blocked native 1080p feed and instead allow some upscaling. What is it like from your experience?

Hello Maciek,
While I have limited experience with Android HDMI sticks; the one i have (MK809IV 2GB Ram / 8GB Storage) does unfortunately upscale from 720p. However, on the bright side; it does lower bandwidth usage and lower network activity if you're worried about that. I think your best bet is to purchase a $150 USD Android Tablet with a 1080p screen by default and a Micro HDMI out port. I hope you find this information helpful.

Do you think this upscaling could be disabled by tinkering with the system files?

Possibly; if you use a different ROM for the device (although it's tedious and a pain to do if it's your first time; plus, there's the risk of breaking your device)....
