>as I understand you only need to connect HDMI for video and audio cable to audio out of the tablet to get stereo, right?

Ostensibly you'd only need the HDMI cable, since it also carries audio. But from 3 reported cases, all three weren't able to deliver balanced stereo thru HDMI. So, you may have to resort to the headphone-out cable.

>HDMI supports up to 7.1 channels

Even with PC players, support for HD audio is spotty. For Android, most current players are ffmpeg-based, and ffmpeg can't handle DD TrueHD nor DTS-MA/HR (it does handle DD+/EAC3 7.1 which is an earlier format).

Let's find out. In link below are two HD audio test clips, a DD TrueHD 7.1 and a DD+ 7.1. See if you can play them correctly on your PC, then from your PC/NAS via HDMI-out to your TV. Next, try playing on the Prime, then Prime w/ HDMI-out to TV. Feedback welcomed.

I would say it should be possible to also output the android homescreens @ 1080p to hdmi? Some hackinmg\developing will be neccesary but i think it should be possible.

Any dev that can say something about this?

Would love to use the prime as desktop replacement, hooking it up with a 1080p monitor.

720p is just way to small.

thx

For true 1080p apps I've only heard of:

@Magnesus:

Using the stereo out jack to get better audio than the broken hdmi works, but is a pain since I have to change the wiring around when I do this and then change it back for other devices hooked to the tv (to get best results with them).

@e.mote:

I've opened a case with Asus and emailing them back and forth. Slow going since we're just past the "Yes I tried other cables. Yes I tried other players..." stage. They want me to try another TV so I guess I'll have to go to Best Buy or something with my tablet and cable and find a surround sound system hooked up to a TV to try a newer TV. I'll try those other au.dio files too

Interesting news after visiting the store:

- two new Sony Bravia TVs: behaved the same as mine, audio only on left

- two new LG TVs: same as Sony TVs

- two new Samsung TVs: didn't even recognize HDMI was plugged in! no audio or video

* two new Panasonic TVs: EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY!!

So it is possible to get the prime HDMI to work correctly! Just not with very many manufacturers. I will forward this to Asus and see what they say. I'm sure Sony will say it is not their fault.

I have tried two HDMI 1.4 cables from Radio Shack and Best Buy.

What would make you think they would not work right and the one you suggested will?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Any HDMI 1.4-compliant cable by definition supports HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC). You don't have to buy a cable that explicitly lists Ethernet in the description. That said, whether networking can be enabled is a function of the connected systems, not of the cable itself.

To date, I've not run across any computer devices supporting HEC. There may be some in the hi-fi market, although a quick Goog search showed zip. Likewise, I haven't seen any TV advertising HEC as a networking conduit, whether for DLNA or IPTV.

In any case, HEC isn't relevant to the issue at hand, which is about plain audio-out over HDMI. Over a short distance, cable quality shouldn't be an issue. knoxbrder found that audio does work correctly on a narrow subset of TVs. Then, it's an Asus problem.

You seems like a guy who knows what he talks about, so I have a question.

When playing a movie with MXplayer and you can click the audio icon and choose between audio track #1 and audio track #1(S/W)

What's the difference for me in reality ? And when is i preferred to use the software decode.

Seen that video has a software options to. Do I have to care about all this and change some settings or should I just forget about everything.

Always go to with HW if your tablet can handle it. SW means everything's done with the CPU and not utilizing the built-in decoding capability of the GPU.

Are you guys having any issues with HDMI video sync? 2 of the 4 displays I have used so far had terrible stuttering and green blocking/artifacting. I can't find any correlation to media, display brand, 720p/1080p, cable... trying to decide if its worth getting an exchange, but I can't reproduce it across displays.

I spent some time today testing playback of a 1080P MKV File made with DVDFab and a 1080p MP4 (H.264 with AAC) from two different Primes on 4 different TV's.

-- On a new Elite (Sharp) LCD TV I experienced quite a bit of stuttering in the playback.

-- On a Pioneer Elite KURO display everything worked great. Great sound and picture, no stuttering.

-- On a Sony XBR-929 I experience some issues with both audio and video (Mainly small frame skips and only one channel of audio).

-- On a Asus 23" 1080p Computer Monitor everything played back perfectly

There was no difference in playback when switching primes or file types.

My guess is that the HDMI driver on the Prime needs some work. This type of incompatibility does not surprise me since Asus is not a traditional AV manufacturer.

I believe this can easily be remedied with a firmware update.

I must say I am loving the Prime. I have owned a Xoom, Flyer, Jetstream, and so far the Prime is the only tablet that performs the way I expect it to from a performance standpoint. If I can only get my hands on a Champagne Dock before CES, I might just leave my laptop in the hotel room.

Has anyone tested 1080i video playback? I'm curious if Nvidia included any of their PureVideo de-interlacing support on the Tegra3.

If you need a good sample, try this one:

multiupload.com/UUXTRCOAYR

Check if it plays smooth without judder/stutter and if nothing shows combing/jaggies artifacts when paused.

Here's a very low resolution non-interlaced version of the same file that I use to test motion smoothness of various devices. So far, none of the android tablets have played this or the above file 100% smooth without small frame skips/judder. My ancient Sony PSP plays it perfect but only supports this very low resolution.

I have tried WMA, AC3, and AAC 5.1 channel clips (as well as the 7.1 on here) with my prime with no luck. I am getting the same results as others. This is playing through the various players mentioned in this thread and my Sony 5.1 HDMI reciever. I hope ICS fixes this HDMI surround audio issue. I don't want to have to convert my collection to stereo to watch on my prime...

Also I get overscan on my new toshiba 1080p LED TV as well as my older Sony Bravia 1080p SXRD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hero_of_the_day:
Just regisitered after finding this thread through google. Just got the Prime today, and not shockingly I'm having the same exact problem. So I assume it's 100% of Primes affected. Hope they can/do fix this. Being able to play 1080p videos over HDMI was one of the main drawing points for me. Not cool ASUS.

Image questions relating to HDMI on an external TV

Hi all,

Not of thread but slightly different direction.....

Have you experienced or is there a work around so that what you see on the Prime is exactly displayed on an HD TV using the HDMI cable output?

I'm using a 37" Panasonic LCD TV and I'm finiding that although a great picture, the TV picture is approximately 110% scale to the 100% of the tablet. This means that some of the top, sides and bottom of the tablet image is now outside the viewing area on the TV. All of the TV screen is being used, just missing some important menu files in certain applications and equally a little bit of the picture when watching films.

My TV doesn't seem to allow any significant switching of the picture, I think it automatically adjusts from 720 to 1080 when required. I was wondering whether there was a way of controlling the TFP's screen output to a slightly smaller image or a custom resolution which may get around this?

All the best

TF201 HDMI Compatibility

I have a new TF201 which works fine except for GPS (not the subject here) which is completely non-functional even with latest (V6.9.13) GPS firmware.

Regarding HDMI, I have checked mirroring with my new model panasonic plasma and get no connection. I have have tested same TF201 and HDMI cable with a TV at BB (not sure of brand) and it worked fine.

Conclusion: I have same HDMI compatibility issues decribed by other posters.

Hope Asus will fix it with new software / firmware.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mark.m.moran:
Are you getting full surround out??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxbrder:
I'm not an expert at surround sound and who know how my 15+ year old amp works with my 2 year old TV and Prime connected to the TV over HDMI and TV connected to the amp.

But I have one of those front left, center, front right, rear left, rear right, subwoofer spoken sound files and here are the results:

- front left sound = front left speaker

- center sound = center speaker

- front right sound = front right speaker

- subwoofer sound = subwoofer

- rear left sound = little bit in rear speakers, lots in center speaker

- rear right sound = little bit in rear speakers, lots in center speaker

-----------------------------------

Listening to "real" music you can definately hear left / right channels, most voice thru center, music thru rear but not much voice.

I "think" that those are the expected results. But what do you think?

-----------------------------------

A few updates back on the Prime I had almost everything on the left channel and nothing on right or rear channels. But that has been fixed. It always worked with some TVs, but now it works with more. I have a two year old Sony Bravia. I don't know of any devices it doesn't work with now.

So being that im a tv whore (own a krp kuro) i was playing some pioneer demo material on my gs2. The demo has a ton of awesome dark scenes that really show off how black these amoled displays can get.

There was one part where there was just a black screen for about 10 seconds. Since i was in a dark room my eyes adjusted and noticed all these Blotches all over the black screen. Is this normal? I see it on a 100% black background that i created as well. Any one else have this issue? It kinda dumb i know since i only see this in a dark room with a black screen but its bugging me now. I would be devastated if my kuro looked like that in a dark scene so my phone isnt any different.

Im on a bravia engine Rom with screen mode on movie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:

Righto. So I just took a picture of all black, then let my eyes adjust to the screen in the dar.... AND HOLY MOTHER OF MAY I? YES YOU CAN, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY SCREEN?!

Are all screens like this? Is there something that causes this? Because I honestly don't remember ever seeing these blotches on my screen, and i even looked once before.

Now it's so bad it looks like my phone has some venireal disease or skin-touchscreen cancer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Seems like people are getting into a very humorous mood with the holidays, and it's spilling over to even serious threads.

What you describe is a defect of the screen. When the phone first came out, and for the first few weeks, there were a number of people who reported problems with the screen. The way to test the screen that was suggested at that time is exactly what you did with the black screen in a darkened room. I tried that test, and my phone has a completely black screen, with no light patches.

For some reason, there havn't been many reports at all since the first few weeks. You are only the second person I've seen to mention it, I think, since then.

The people that had the bad screens just exchanged their phones until they got a good one. Of course, at that time everyone was still within the 30 day period.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
Actually, I'm quite certain this isn't a defect. In fact, it's just something that samsung says comes along with the Amoled technology, if you do a thorough search in google, you'll find multiple articles stating this. Do I think that since samsung screwed up on all these screens they are just saying that? Absolutely. But I also think that anyone who says they don't have it at all just maybe doesn't have it as bad. When I had the T989, it was so visible it annoyed the **** outta me, and it wasn't just splotches, but it was lines and stuff too. Now, I'm on my 2nd i777, and the first one had the splotches, not too bad though, and the current one I have is even less, but it is there, although you really have to stare and allow your eyes to adjust to see it. I think the next generation of amoled displays should have this little kink worked out, but if you look on the Razr forums, the t989 forum, and the skyrocket forum, they all have it as well. Its an all around AMOLED issue, and i dont think any displays with a Super AMOLED+ display are without it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'm the one who said my phone has a completely dark screen with no light patches. Well, that was a couple of months ago that I tested it, and I decided to do another test today. My house has a room with no window, so it is easy to get a completely darkened room.

When you put a black image on the screen in a dark room, the screen is not completely black. If you set the screen timeout to 30 minutes, and let your eyes completely adjust to the dark, the screen actually looks rather light, a sort of greyish. But the shade of grey and amount of light intensity theoretically should be uniform across the screen.

My screen is actually pretty uniform, but there is a slight gradation to darker arount the edges, a little more pronounced toward the top and bottom than on the sides. There is one very tiny area at the very top of the screen right on the edge directly below the AT&T logo, that is significantly darker than the rest of the screen. The difference in light intensity is not very much, but it is noticable.

The gradation of light intensity on this screen is so slight that it would be impossible to detect any difference in light intensity in normal screen use. People who have reported this problem are the ones whose screen is so variable, that they can see the difference during normal screen use. And if you would test one of those screens in a dark room, I'm told you would see a very marked difference in the light intensity.

So I say that if a screen is such that you can tell the difference when using the screen under normal conditions, then it is defective. But what Samsung or AT&T will say and do about it, I don't know. I havn't seen any reports from anyone that has tried to exchange their phone for that reason.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll bump this one...

So I've noticed lines and stuff when I go into the market/google play (the grey shows multiple verticle and horizontal lines, but I have to look a little hard. Not too big a deal.) However, I tried using auto brightness which defaults much lower than I had it set to manually and the screen shows tons of lines everywhere. For instance, I use ryude's unoriginal rom, and with the stock messenger (bright white) I get a ton of lines. I was wondering how many people use auto brightness and if anybody else has this issue. I'm out of the 30 day replacement warranty, but I have an upgrade coming up soon so I'm not super worried about it. But still...
