Does not seem to be a common issue.
Check settings on your device related to display, video playing, etc.

Everything looks good in settings, I've also tried reaching out to Amazon support, but they are no help!

why are you so sure that it isn't playing in HDR? I mean it says HD right below the selection
from my knowledge If it's says HDR it's displaying in HDR.

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.
Hi, I got te g2x for almost 2 months now, and now I got a hdmi cable and thought about playing some HD and Full HD videos on my TV.
Im my current rom (SINGH-UI) and player (BS-player) only HD .mp4 videos play nice, mkv plays with some problems, and cant play 1080p videos at all.
Anyone know of a good combination of rom+kernel+player that can play 1080p videos? or at least mkv HD?
Thank you very much, and sorry if it has been asked before, I did a search but not found all the answers.

I use MX Player on any ROM I use, no issues. Use software decoding, uncheck deiinterlace, and set CPU to use from default to 2.
Thanks, will try that and edit the results
Also is the pro version worth it?
Edit: Now I can play Mkv perfectly thanks =), but some 720p and 1080p mp4 still gets laggy/desincronized some times.

I don't use pro. The free edition does everything I need from a video player. Sometimes just play with the settings and you can get a video to play correctly.
So it's better, same, or worse?
Ahh its definitely better, will play with the settings a bit and see what may chance.
Thanks for the help
Now that YouTube supports videos at 60fps, is there an app that supports viewing at that framerate? I'd love to be able to utilize this new feature on my phone.
YouTube released it yersterday. We have to wait

I believe the Nexus 5 does, doesn't it? I managed to manually download a 60fps video, and the VLC app confirms that the framerate is 60fps. I noticed a distinct difference when watching that video compared to the 30fps version. Am I crazy to have noticed a difference? Does the Nexus 5 not support 60fps playback?

Awfully helpful, thank you.
This thread seems to indicate that 60fps is possible, at least in the boot animation.
Unless the refresh rate is being locked to 30Hz, hardware wise there shouldn't be anything to stop it from displaying 60 frames of video in a second. However I don't think the app has been updated to support it yet.
well, everywhere i have read, it says nexus 5 can do 30fps while playing video. now i do know that we can get 60fps in gaming. is it a hardware limitation? that i cant answer..

I think even a 2011 device can run at 60fps
Try downloading a 60fps video, watch on native or mx player and see for yourself
For those still interested. Yes the Nexus 5 can play 60fps video.
As for watching 60fps YouTube, I have finally found an app for it.
Simply install Viral Popup from the Play Store.
Open the app and open the Settings from the menu dropdown in the top-right. Enable "Dash Player".
Now back out of Settings and find a 60fps video. Select the video and once it starts playing, pause the video, then click the [Gear] button and you'll see a list of qualities. Scroll down and you should see two 720p options, choose the second one. Rewind the video and hit play.
Enjoy 60fps YouTube on Android
NOTE: Not all 60fps videos will work in the app yet. It seems 1080p 60fps videos will not load at all.

Does this still work? I can't find the option anywhere anymore in Viral from the play store, nor in Viral from the developers Google+ page...

When you are playing HDR video, drag the notification bar down and you can see that the grey color is lighter than usual.
But 4K 60 fps is not playing smoothly as it used to in Nougat. Hope Sony fixes it in Pie!

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.
