Does video streamed via MHL depend on resolution of android phone? - General Questions and Answers

I want to know if video streamed through MHL depends on the resolution of the screen of the android phone. For example if I stream a 4K video to a 4K tv on a Note 3 or a MHL 3.0 capable device, will the video only be played at 1080p because of the screen resolution of the note or will it be streamed in full glory like in DLNA??
I also want to know if this is the case with the Z1 compact and the SGS3 which have 720p screens. Will 1080p video be streamed at 720p??
I understand that in the case of screen mirroring for games and such this is the case as obviously you are only streaming what is on the screen.
But MHL plays only the video and does not display the controls and such many times which is why I ask.
If you do not know, please do not make guesses.
Thank you.

Choppy video?

I was curious if anyone else is having chopping video performance on a 1080p video? I have 720p videos play fine but 1080p video's stutter every few seconds. Any ideas? Its hard to show off the screen when video playback is poor.
There is no difference between a 720p video and a 1080p video on this phone. The screens not big enough to make a difference. Convert your video to 720p or lower if u want to play it on your phone.

He is correct. Make sure you convert the video to the proper resolution and format for best performance. No need to make the phone work harder to decode video from a format you will not gain from.
Storing 1080p video would only seem to benefit if you intend to use an external display. Are you using an external adapter(usb to hdmi or analog) for playback?
Thanks for the replies. I knew that this was the case. When testing the video capabilities, I downloaded a bunch of random HD video samples. Some 720p some 1080p. The 1080p seems to work flawlessly if I taskill everything but I shouldn't have to do that. I guess I'll just stick to 720p unless I'm hooking up to a TV.

Question regarding streaming video/hdmi out

Here is what I'm trying to do. I watch a lot of streams and I would like to connect my xoom to my hdtv which does 1080i so I can watch the streams on a large monitor. however, the quality on my lcd tv is for lack of a better word, crap. Is there anything I can do to improve the quality or am I basically stuck with what I'm getting when I connect my xoom to my tv?
Thanks.
PS- The same can be said of divx files and other movie files I load onto my xoom. They are higher quality on the device than they are on the tv.

[Q] Video output questions

I have a TF300T with a cracked screen. Its still mostly visible but I would rather use it on my TV as a media player. I installed CM10.2 but I'm still having the issue where the 16:10 native screen is being scaled inside the 16:9 output.
What roms support 16:9 video option?
Are there any roms that support 1080p output?
Thanks

Stream 1080p 60fps to TV

I have a high end samsung Tv 60hz. I can stream 30fps video fine from my GS6 but when i try 60fps video, it said frame rate 59 not supported. Is this because the TV cant handle the 60fps on its own through wireless? Do i need a middle man like the shield console or forge TV to stream 60fps content? Can anyone confirm that they can stream FHD 60fps on to there TV wirelessly w/o a middle man? Do i need 120hz to achieve this?

Screen resolution curiosity

Hi all,i hope my question is posted in the correct place. Something i am rather curious about and constantly wonder about is my device's screen resolution. Now i know that the Z5 Premium came with a 4k display,what im not sure of is why my device (Z5 E6653) has the "ability" to record 4k video clips,if it doesnt have a 4k capable display?
Am i wrong in my understanding that shooting in 4k is useless because my device is not capable of showing 4k resolution anyway? Or is my device 4k capable and if so,why cant one then manipulate the display to use a 4k resolution setting permanently? Please could someone enlighten me.
You capture a 4K video and watch this video on your phone? Actually 5.5 inches display is useless for 4K.. Watch on TV or a projector..
You should watch the 4K video (which you recorded with your phone) on a 4K capable display, like a 4K TV. When you play that on your phone,it'll be downscaled to 1080p. So if you don't have a 4K display, it would be useless to record 4K videos. Except if you want your videos to have the best quality for future use.
