[Q] Wireless to TV options without latency - General Questions and Answers

Like the title says, are there any latency free wireless options to connect to a TV or is cable the only way? I'm only gonna use it for playing games so much latency is a big NO, at tops i would say no more than 6ms since the TV already got latency, for example try to play punch out with 8ms + internal latency, impossible or at least very challenging :silly:
edit: My TV is old, very old, like one of the first 1080p TVs on the market, Sony 40w2000 to be exact so there's already some latency going on, I assume way more than the 8ms it "should" be

HDMI performance

I found that the framerate drops when i connect my phone to TV via HDMI. I have tested with different videoplayers and the fpse emulator and they all slow down. I have also tested with the fps2d app and it shows that the framerate decreases. Does anyone know a solution to fix this or is anyone having the same problems?
the frame rate will likely be matching your tv.
that said, totally wouldnt be surprised if the jump from 800x480 to 1080p created some slowdown.

[Q] HDMI to computer monitor

So I spent some time searching and looking around on the forums and couldn't seem to find an answer (for starters, everything was about TVs), so here we go:
I am trying to hook my TF up to a 1080p capable 25" computer monitor via HDMI. The picture shows up, but it seems to be a much lower resolution just blown up to fit the 1920x1080 size (possible the native 1280x800). I notice that when the TF switches to HDMI mode, a small black bar appears along the bottom, which I presume auto-corrects it to 1280x720 for 720p output. However, while playing GTA III, I notice that on the computer monitor, everything looks quite pixelated, much worse than an actual 720p signal. I also tested watching a TV episode I have stored on a microSD card using MX Video Player and the video resolution on the computer monitor was just as bad as GTA III.
Is there any way to get the TF to output an actual 720p signal (or even a 1080p signal if possible)?

Nobody's tried connecting to a computer monitor? I don't have an HD TV to test with

Shield Tablet HDMI lag

I picked up the Shield Tablet and I'm trying to run Super Mario Brothers ROM through RetroArch. The display is perfect, but when connected to HDMI through both console mode and mirror mode, I have some latency going to the TV. It feels like everything is shown half a second after it happens, which is a big deal for a game. I am using the same HDMI cable and connector that can hook up to my computer and play the same ROM with no lag, so I don't believe it's the cable or the TV.
Is anybody using any kind of emulator on the nvidia shield tablet over HDMI without lag?

I haven't had any issues using PPSSPP emulator hooked up to my TV in console mode. I do notice sometimes the audio isn't sync'ed but changing the setting in the PPSSPP emulator - audio latency to high solved the issue when connecting to TV. so I would believe it could just be some settings you gotta tweak about with to get it perfect.
I would try running something else to narrow the issue down, as it might just be that emulator your using on the shield.
No problems here either, was playing God of War and Tekken Dark Resurrection and Wipeout Pure to my HDTV via the Shield the other night without lag issues.
Make sure you turn off any features of your TV that might cause this. I know that my TV has a video "smoothing" feature that will add in additional frames to make video smoother but it makes video games almost unplayable with any console that I've tried because of the delay that is has. See if your TV has a video game mode.

Is there a way to output HDMI to my phone, or to stream from a TV to my phone?

Hey everyone. I see tons of options for streaming the display from my phone to my tv, but what about the other way around?
In my situation, I am trying to get remote play working for my PS4 to my android phone, but am encountering issues getting a Dualshock 4 controller to work properly with my phone.
If I can't get this resolved, another option would be to get a playstation TV and attach it to my bedroom tv, but it's tiny, and also about 20 feet away from the bed. Not a great option for playing games. However, if I could use the PSTV and output to my phone, that would be awesome.
Is there something that either can clone the display/sound output of a TV, or even better, something that would allow my phone to directly act as a receiver of an HDMI signal from the PSTV?
Trying to google for options leaves me empty handed because most people are concerned with outputting their phone's display to their television, and I want to go in the opposite direction.
I have the very same question
I'm curious as to why I wouldn't 've able to directly stream what is on my tv to my phone. The PS3 has a controller that works through walls from 20+ ft away, all I want to do is be able to watch through my phone when I'm outside/ in another room.
I find it mind blowing that there isn't a single answer on Google after searching for hours.

fire TV stick - force 480p??

Is there any way to do this? the pressing reverse and up trick doesnt work anymore since an update. Which ironically i did to try and stop the buffering which is why i want to lower the resolution in the first place.
The fire stick itself only allows 720p lowest. my tv supports this... its my internet connection that seems to wax and wane on the fire stick despite being right next to the router, possibly due to being in a building right next to another building (aka alot of units sharing likely 1 or 2 main co-ax connections from the provider). sometimes its fine, other times its so scrambled i may as well be looking at the image while swimming underwater without goggles.
Why are they anti-low resolution? amazon prime video also does not support any features to lower the resolution. it does by itself once its already lagging behind, but this is what im trying to avoid! netflix allows this, as does disney plus and likely others. why doesnt amazon? even in player the only thing you can access is actor info or subtitles. nothing at all related to actual playback. settings cog shows nothing about playback either except i think subtitles
This is annoying. anyone know of any fixes or work arounds?
only other idea i have which im not sure it would matter is trying the ethernet hookup for the fire stick, but thats money i dont have right now
