Not that I would really notice any difference between 720p and 1080p but I think there might be some misunderstanding that the TF can play back full 1080p video (1920x1080). Or at least mine can't without encountering serious lag.
I can't play 1080p on the browser YouTube without lag. Also the YouTube app doesn't let you chose between 720p and 1080p so I'm guessing it only plays 720p. to make sure it wasn't a browser problem i download a full HD video (www[dot]digital-digest[dot]com/movies/Limitless_1080p_Theatrical_Trailer[dot]html) and as expected it played with a lot of lag. Can anyone else check on that too?
Thanks
Wondering the same, I hope there is a solution for this problem, Otherwise it may be false marketing/advertisement which would be very sad fact for us as TF users indeed.
So I tried searching for an official quote stating that the TF can playback 1080p video and the closest i came was this line from ASUS's website-
"A 5MP rear- and 1.2MP front-facing camera can shoot and record HD video, which can be played back in stunning 1080p."
Even here it doesn't state clearly where exactly the video can be played back. Nowhere else does it mention that the TF can playback 1080p. I think it's just clever marketing on their part but it does lead to general misinformation about the product.
Why would you want to play 1080p content if the screen only can handle 720p anyway?

Hdmi out to a tv is what comes to mind.
The transformer will do 1080p resolution out to a TV or monitor, but I do not think it is capable of playing true HD videos such as the Limitless trailer you listed.
Mine does play youtube in HD very clearly with no lag.
but I have put a HiDef MP4 video on here and attempted to play it and it was choppy or didnt play correctly at all.
I recommend AVI files and Vplayer or using a program to change the bit rate of the hi def files and trying to play them again.
Yes it will play 1080p, but it will only play 1080p low profile and only with minimal bitrates. I have made several for testing that play fine using Handbrake, but in reality 1080p over HDMI is a bit flawed at the moment, and the tablet doesn't show native 1080p so since you have to re-encode blu-rays anyway you're better off with a high profile high bitrate 720p conversion than low end 1080p.
I have not tried any of this with 3.2 yet.
While we are on the subject, does 5.1/7.1 also work via HDMI?

1080p will not play (atleast my encodes), while 720p seems to play just fine. I'd stick with 720p personally. I don't use the HDMI out, but I can see a reason for having it, it'd be nice.
I've played 1080p videos on youtube with no problem. I'm rooted and running revolver v1.1.3 (HC3.1) at 1.5 GHz.
Playing Youtube videos is not a good guideline really. Unless you make sure you are using a browser with the user agent set to Desktop and also that your Youtube settings are not set to HTML5. Then manually setting the video to 1080p and testing.
The very first bulleted item at the official ASUS product page previously stated "NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 1.0GHz dual-core CPU for excellent multitasking & 1080P video playback" but now it states "NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 1.0GHz dual-core CPU for excellent multitasking & HD video playback". I guess they finally decided to change it. I knew I should have taken a screenshot to prove it back when I saw it.
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?
Is anyone able to get 1440p 60fps videos working on youtube? I don't have the option on my Youtube app (latest version). I confirmed that the videos I was watching had the 1440p60 option on my laptop. VZW SD820 S7.
Also, does anyone else's video freeze/stutter when watching 1440p 30fps videos in YouTube? Sometimes the WiFi drops out for a sec too.
I am on the latest WiFi-fixed OTA.

Hello,
I have purchased a second hand T95Z plus, but have been experiencing issues with FullHD videos playback. Everything that is above 7Mbps is lagging. Tried different players - VLC, PlayerXtreme, the integrated video player. Tried with Wifi as well as with ethernet connection. Every time I play a decent FullHD quality video, it starts lagging. Just to confirm, this is not only for streams, but for videos stored internally and on a network share.
Obviously the issue is not with the connectivity, but with the video playback. The box itself is advertised as "easily" able to stream 4K videos, so I am afraid that it might have some hardware issues as 1080p videos with >7Mbps bitrate is lagging.
There might be overheating or some other related issues, but I am fairly new to this, thus am seeking help from other people with more experience with this device. If there is someone that is able to help me narrow down the main cause of this, I would be really thankful.
Here are details:
Android 7.1.2
Build: T5ZPE1081
BTW, when I start some 4K UHD video in Youtube it is playing it just fine. So maybe the issue is with the encoding or the video players that I use? Cause the 4K Youtube video is showing bitrate between 15 and 30Mbps.
i just tested this on chrome and samsung internet, and both get an error when i try to watch porn on 4K. Go to spankbang and see if it works for you. My display resolution is set to 1440p. Can someone try and confirm maybe it's not our phones but the video processing that spankbang uses?
I don't know where to begin..

On the real though you probably can't watch 4k smutting because your display isn't 4k. That's the reason non smut video services like Netflix and Prime video only play in 1080p. YouTube bypasses this by upscaling and downscaling videos.
This is peak XDA.

Well what i'm saying is, on my S10 5G, even if i set my resolution to 1080p as my phone display, i was able to choose the 4K streaming setting from the website on the browser. On this phone I can't do that, it shows an X and says it cannot be played.
I think people are overlooking the fact that its an adult site, but overall, I find this quite strange because it is the first time I've seen that it doesn't allow the actual stream setting to not play whether or not the phone display is set to 4K itself.
