You guys talking about American auto makers negatively have no idea what you are talking about. You wanna prove anything you are saying? Show me validated stats that American made vehicles are junk. I also hope you realize that most European auto makers are owned or partnered with U.S. automakers.

Of course i wouldn't expect a 21 year old unemployed person to know the facts since they can't afford a nice New American car anyhow.

Just hope it's better built than the Avenger, where if you closed the door too hard you'd worry bits would fall off.

As for the Pious they're ugly and have a petrol engine, what the hell is with that? Should have had a veg burning diesel for starters.

I've seen one auto park too, that's a joke, it may have been perfectly spaced between two cars, but it was a good yard from the kerb!

And it's rear brake discs had to be replaced due to rust at the 10K service!

Give me superior suspension, a brake doseur valve, and the ability to do 45mpg (imp) without trying on vegetable oil any day.

Ahem, I'm a self employed, full time photography student. I drive a 1986 VW rabbit diesel, and it gets about 78mpg, sure it doesn't go over 100mph but why do I need to?

Also test drive some of these newer vehicles coming out, they're overweight, bulky, gas guzzling death machines. The 2008 xharger felt like i was driving a truck, and the new ones probably worse. Your car can be huge and weigh 6000lbs, and I bet a subaru or a Volvo will beat it in safety ratings any day and weigh about 4000lbs less.

Never the less everyone is entitled to their opinion, it just seems like American cars aren't worth buying anymore in my opinion.

Also cheap plastic, horrible weighty features, and a design team of power rangers loving 3 year olds are to blame for these ugly heavy cars, I could design a more economical car in my closet.

Don't hate because I don't like American cars lol, I appreciate everyone's opinion.
[Off-topic] agent008my:
yes cheap plastics. you get tonnes of those in american cars. just look at the interior of a hummer h3, and compare that to a land rover disco, or freelander, or that of an Audi Q5, VW Touareg or a Merc ML. i mean seriously, a 4 speed auto in a high end SUV when its competitors are using 6 and 7 speed gearboxes. day light robbery!

besides, it doesnt matter who owns the car company. as long as they continue producing solidly built cars that can give you tonnes of relatively trouble free miles. take for example my previous car - 2002 jaguar s type 3.0 v6. it had 100000 miles when i bought it second hand, and i sold it with 250,000 miles on the clock. the car drove as good as a new one. and for the record, its not an american car that currently holds the guinness world record for the most miles traveled in a passenger car. its a volvo p1800 with 2.9 million miles on the clock. yes u saw that right 2.9 million miles. and it continues to break its own record on a daily basis. we'll see if ANY american car reaches such a milestone.

[Off-topic] westicle:
Quite some time? 2 years, idiot. They are also now the worst cars on the road. The only reason Britain has smaller, fuel efficient cars is because they have very little in the way of natural resources, and can't produce oil like the U.S. Also the military vehicles (such as planes) are also American designed. So are the rockets. Britain hasn't had a cutting edge in any area in so long that they have become irrelevant. sorry about your country...

You stated Jaguar and Landrover IS owned by Ford (not were, not have been, but IS) and they have actually been owned by Tata for several years now.

Incase you've forgotten what you posted:

Please do explain, preferably not in a troll like manner, how Ford currently own Landrover and Jaguar. Are Tata aware of this? We should notify them immediately don't you think?

I'm a bit concerned how someone can appear to not understand that they were wrong when they said Jaguar and Land Rover is owned by Ford, that's all.

We know you were wrong, I find it strange that you are oblivious to it, and believe it is acceptable to post with an aggressive manner when you are undeniably corrected.

jaguar, aston martin and LR WERE owned by ford. and even so, despite being owned by ford, they were built and designed in the UK by JLR/AM engineers as opposed to ford engineers. the same goes with volvo.

I think this car looks fantastic. But have you seen the sticker price?

For that kind of money, much less in some cases, you can buy a european made car that is safer and gets way better gas mileage.

I love american cars but considering I have to drive 60+ miles a day for work, that's a major thing for me.

I've been wracking my brain to find one thing that i would buy that is made in America. Intel is American right? Perhaps that is the one thing.

Otherwise it's largely Asian for PC components, Italian for clothes, Swiss for watches, French for alchohol, British for Hi-Fi, and most definately German for cars!

i dunno about the british for hifi part. true there are some good british systems; Naim, B&W and KEF.

as for the alcohol, i think you mean french for wine? and nobody beats the scotts for whisky :D
[Off-topic] Dirk:
No audiophile in their right mind would buy B&O designer crap :eek: (that would be like saying Cartier make good watches, which is an analogy i know you'll understand). They would however buy B&W, Naim, Meridian, Linn, Arcam, Rega, Cyrus and Mission!

I second the notion that German cars are the best!

[Off-topic] KyleBryant:
Ford cars still weigh a whole lot and don't even get good gas mileage. Mostly because of weight, and whats with the design? have you seen the grilles in their cars lately? They look like chromed cartoon teeth. The main problem with most American cars is the designers, They obviously don't think about what people like, but what they like. That there is a problem, I do slightly like the ford fusion sport coupe, but not enough to own it.

I would however buy a 2002 Focus SVT with no problem, why? Because it was designed properly. It was light, fast, nimble, it looked great, and there wasn't a lot of useless extra crap thrown into it.

Simple question:

Does the transformer support 1080p video output through its mini hdmi port?

if not: what's the max resolution?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thesilverhawk:
720 i believe
[Eee Pad Transformer General] weikichen:
according to nvidia tegra 2 supports 1080P output via hdmi

HDMI 1.3	1920x1080

but

LCD	1024x600 (Tegra 230)

1680x1050 (Tegra 250)

CRT	1280x1024 (Tegra 230)

1600x1200 (Tegra 250)

I also have an question, why LCD output can't use the 1080P output

and why are tablets limited in 720P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
the tblet will mirror out at 720p,which means you see the same on the tv as on lcd. It will output video from the video play unmirrored at 1080p, which means whne you send the video to tv the video on the tab is blank/

The reason no 1080p mirrored is because the tab display is only 1280x800.

while 1080p does work for video it is far from perfect. Hopefully they will smooth it out soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] junks2010:
How do you make it to output 1080p video? When I play video (with default player or mobo player), the video is shown on both screens and it only output 720p to the TV.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mfe018:
Can't get mine to display on screen

Guys, please help me with this:

I tried to connect my transformer (3.1) to my Panasonic Viera Plasma HDTV using a GTMax High Speed Gold-Plated Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable Version 1.4 (25 feet).

My surprise... it didn't work. My understanding is I just had to plug the cable to transformer and tv and enjoy, but the tv screen does nothing and remains blank.

Is it because the length of the cable? or because of the version of the cable(1.4)? Or maybe I have to adjust the resolution somewhere? Or install an app?

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Did you succeed to output 1080p resolution to a Full HD TV/monitor?

I only can get 720p to both my Sharp and Sony Full HD (1080p) TVs with a full HD (1080p) mp4 Basic line video test (Film Teaser) with Buzz and Rokplayer.

Its one of the best ones out there for tablet unless your going for a full x86/x64 machine. Agree they should have never specified 1080p the tech is currently too slow to do it properly 9/10 times.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
i use the stock player. when you play it is it mirrored on your tab? if so then thats a problem. when outputting 1080p it should blank the video area on the tab.

after 3.1 i had no issues getting this to work. perhaps its the handshake with your tv. i have year old 55in samsung lcd that support 24/60 1080p

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wishmaster89:
Agreed, it has not advantage over competing solutions. GPU is nothing extraordinary, multimedia engine is a joke, standard A9 CPU. Only pure marketing.

Right now OMAP4 is probably the best SoC when it comes to pure power. Snapdragon with it's 1,5Ghz tablet specific SoC will be much faster than T2 both CPU and GPU wise(and it supports 1080p h264 High Profile 3.1), even now 1,2Ghz version has slightly faster GPU than T2.

Exynos would be great too, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any news about official honeycomb for exynos or any kind of tablet coming running on this SoC.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhoenixFx:
Are you guys sure that the poor 1080p h264 high profile performance is due to a hardware limitation and NOT due to poor software implementation ? Because Tegra 2 official spec sheet list 1080p encode and decode capability (though profile is not mentioned), but this article says it is capable of accelerating 1080p High profile.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GalaxySdude:
I thought I read somewhere that part of the limitation at the moment is poor software/driver implementation. But the Tegra 2 isn't lacking for regular processing power. My Transformer outruns my Galaxy S when it comes to running regular apps and browsing, but my phone plays 720p videos smoother and supports more file types/containers/codecs.
