Is there any way (via app/driver) to increase the display resolution for a docked g-tablet?
It looks like the hardware can drive much higher resolutons: tegradeveloper.nvidia.com/tegra/forum/does-tegra-250-support-2-deferent-video-output-hdmi-and-vga-same-time
I see the Motorola Atrix has an app that does this trick when docked in their "laptop" dock. It would be real slick to do this with my docking unit - I would probably never go back to a laptop or desktop again, except for remote control from my tablet.
TIA
It wouldn't make sense for a device to push more pixels than the actual LCD is capable of.
I don't care about the display on the tablet when it is docked and hooked to an external monitor - that could be turned off. What matters is the external display and how crappy 1024x600 looks on a 19" 16:9 monitor made to display 1440x900.
Our HDMI out is 1080p. 1080x1920
What are you hooked up to when getting higher resolution? Does the tablet display just turn off and external takes over?
Everything I have hooked my dock up to (4:3 and 16:9 19" monitors and 720p TV) gets the same resolution as my tablet display. So the bigger the display the more jagged the experience.
Thanks
i havent tested my hdmi output (waiting for straight cable) but the specs are there.
since max resolution on the gtab is 1024x600, thats what youl see, but through the cord the (720p, 1080p) resolution should show on the HD TV.
Hi Resolution when you use the YouTube.apk

I was able to get HD (1080p) using the YouTube.APK by selecting HD mode in the application setting. Both the Tablet and the external screen played 1080p videos quite nicely. If you turned off the Tablet display, the external screen also went blank. When I quit out of the APK and set the Tablet to sleep, the HDMI setting appeared to stick in the main Tablet settings. There is no easy way to set the Gtablet resolution using the standard stock settings.
After a few days and trying different TV streaming APKs from the Market. The HDMI Out stopped working altogether. I did a reboot as well as Flash the ROM but the HDMI OUT still does not display. It does recognize the HDMI signal (the LCD shows 1080P) from the dock HDMI port. I am not sure what happened but some how one or more default settings are stuck in the user data configuration file. One of those settings makes my SHARP external display go blank (can't display the set mode). The GTablet continues to display in both 420P and HD (probably 720P) modes.
I will try a data wipe and Flash again to see if it clears the HDMI setting back to the default mode (I believe that is 420p).
If this is the case, then we need some type of HDMI.apk that allows one to set the screen mode to Tablet only, Tablet & External or External only AND set the resolution mode for each. When watching using the dock and an external LCD, I want the default to be 1080p.
So, far when tricking the Gtablet to display 1080p I have some how broken the dock and have not been able to reset back to factory settings.
Any suggestions and/or configuration apk's to resolve this problem?

EDIT: Fixed the HDMI Display by using new cable. I get really nice HD output using the YouTube.APK with the settings set to HD.

Hi,
When connecting the asus tranformer, or any other tegra 2 tablet, to the tv I get a wrong resolution.
What happens is that for the 16:9 ratio it cuts about 5% of all the borders of the image. If then I switch on the tv setting from 16:9 to fit screen it works well and I can see the whole tablet screen.
But some tvs don't have that option, and thus the image shows incorrectly cutting a part of the border of the image.
Do you have the same problem? Is there a fix?
I would like to attach a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 to an old Aluminum 20" Apple Cinema Display, but I reckon this question would be applicable to all sorts of devices and monitors. When I connect my Tab S4 with a USB-C to DVI adapter the Display LED blinks 3 quick times, indicating that it does not like the input format/resolution. The monitor's optimal resolution is 1680x1050. Can I get my Tab S4 to output that resolution? I can hook the tablet to an old Samsung monitor with the same adapter and it is clearly not the correct resolution, but at least something comes up on screen.
Can this be done, and if so how?
I have tried SecondScreen and it successfully changes sizing of stuff on screen, but does not seem to affect the actual resolution send out to DVI/HDMI.

Hi My Seniors. Is there any way to adjust android HDMI output to Monitor refresh rate to 90fps or 120hz. I got 165hz monitor , tab s7(120Hz), Red magic (120Hz). But when i connect to monitor, only get maximum 60 Hz. Can someone advise is there any way to change to 90hz or 120hz. Root is no issue for me. or is android limited 60hz HDMI out ? Thanks
It's a imitation of your cable / colorspace.
When connecting to my monitor my Rog3 will output up to 160hz no problem which uses the NV12 color space, however once you connect something like a capture card it will limit to 60hz because it switches to RGB color space.
Any idea if it's possible to display the tablet on an external monitor via USBc in a 16:9 aspect ratio?
Currently PC mode on a monitor has black bars on the side
Hey,
Try an app called SecondScreen, I havent tested with this tablet, but on my oneplus8t when using desktop mode, it does the trick (this app basically changes the phone resolution temporarily - root required)
