TV LCD panels have tanked. Toshiba and Sharp are both converting huge production facilities to small LCD screens. Sharp already converted a huge facility to small LCDs and has the bandwidth to serve not only Apple's demand for their new retina display but other manufacturers too. Having lost Apple as a customer, Samsung will most likely start providing displays to compeitors in order to use all their capacity. There should be no shortage of LCD screens for small devices in the near and long term.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
Barry GEGs long post up there is spot on. The Prime does have some issues that Asus needs to work on. Unfortunately for early adopters, if Asus does deliver on these issues, you may see that late January Prime's have much better overall quality than these initial release Prime's. Also, the Prime is a great value at $499. Need proof? Go check out the Motorola Droid XyBoard which just came out. It's absolutely pathetic spec-wise compared to the Prime (I seriously don't get how you can come out with complete 1st gen specs when the Prime has triggered the beginning of the 2nd gen of Android tabs), but it costs a little bit more than the Prime. I'm also fairly confident (not sure if this is the best word lol) that the 2nd gen tablets of 2012 that will have higher resolution and overall higher specs will cost more. I see $599 becoming the new baseline. So the Prime is definitely a good deal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I know it's OT, but what the hell were they thinking? And not only didn't it get decent specs, they cursed it with a stupid name that no one knows how to pronounce. Motorola tablets will be looked back on as the Edsels of Android tablets. When AT&T launched the Qualcomm G-Tab 8.9 they gave it a decent price and gave a SkyRocket away with it for free so it had a fighting chance. The Xoom/Xoom2/XyBoard franchise is doomed.

Anyone else wonder why there aren't any videos of TP lagging on youtube, you'd think out of hundreds of videos at least a few will show this said 'lag'.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Because there is no lag what so ever so smooth

Kokusho: "I don't have the prime, sure, but strangely enough I have a hard time believing you."

Or maybe you don't want to believe that you've waited this long for something that possibly will not reach your expectations? I hardly think people who just got it would want to get on here and say that they are disappointed, if they are not.

I dont know some small hickups are certainly no dealbraker for me^^ But I remember having a buddy in school when we played like counterstrike and stuff. He wouldnt play any games that would not run at at least 60fps. He missed on sooo many big titles but he just couldnt stand it.

I played many games with 20-30 frames and didnt have a problem with it^^ So i guess there are these and those guys...

Anyway if some small hickups on a freshly released tablet that has been rushed to market because of x-money-mas are a dealbreaker for you - thats your choice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
Coming from the TF101, at this point, I don't see a lot of gain with the 201 either. Yes you are getting what will be a far superior device than the original at the same price point. Better build, brighter screen, slimmer profile at the cost of weaker wifi and gps. But simply from a performance standpoint, right now the 201 feels very similar to the 101.

Not disappointed, just hoping for more to come.

Oh and that was an oc'd 101 at 1.6 so that can explain a lot in comparing performance with a normally aspirated 201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
You can't compare an overclocked device with a custom ROM to a stock honeycomb device it's not fair

Just got my Champagne

Just got the tab- Ok, Played with the Tab for about an hour- Did some preliminary testing, and all I can say is WOW. No dead pixels (as far as I can tell so far) , screen is crisp and gorgeous, no scratches or dings anywhere. Wifi strength seems fine so far, but need to test more. Location services works great, but haven't gotten lock on GPS, but I have not went outside to test and give it a chance to lock. Battery was at 10 percent- It's been charging for an hour and a half and its at 63 percent - I guess its normal to take this long.... I applied all updates in hope there will be no issues as others have reported ( blank screen of death? )

This tablet Is incredible guys.... I've owned a Tegra 2 tablet before this one and there is NO comparison... this thing is the real deal. Maybe I just haven't had it long enough yet, But I can tell you, I don't see ANY issues at all so far-

I don't have ANY of the negative comments that some others see at all.Someone please tell me what I am missing here? It's a BEAST. Super FAST, SMOOTH screen transitions , and the volume at 50 percent seems fine to me (good base)... I wonder if some of these other negative posts are Apple employees just trying to spread false propaganda, (Not saying it is true of course) but I am impressed so far with what I see in the short time i have used it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
That's true, and I think I've mentioned the same point somewhere on these forums.

But I do see where the poster is coming from - if you already own a 101 that is overclocked, right now at this point in time it might not make sense to shell out $499 for an upgrade. At least that's how I interpreted it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Absolutely but the device is about a week old no developers had mug time to play with yet but in time this device will run laps around the original transformer and it already can match it's speed it is worth the upgrade no doubt
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
I think I was clear in pointing out the differences in my comparisons.

CAN WE STOP FIGHTING AND. AGREE THE PRIME IS THE BEST. PERFORMINGANDROID TABLET OUT AS OF RIGHT NOW!

NO CARES ABOUT THE IPAD 3 4 5 6 OR 99 OR ANY OTHER NUMBER AS YOU WILL HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER TABLET BY THEN!

YEAH THEIR MAY BE OTHER TABLETS THAT COME OUT WITH QUAD CORES BUT THE PRIME BEING 4 MONTHS EARLY WILL GIVE IT A LONGER LIFESPAN! AND. BECAUSE ITS THE SAME CHIP WILL BE ABLE TO BE A CLOCKED AS HIGH AS ANY OTHER TABLET THAT COMES OUT (PROBABLY HIGHER AS THE ALUMINUM WILL ACT AS A HUGE HEAT SINK :)

)

BUT ANYWAYS STOP ARGUING MY PRIME IS PERFECT! SUCKS FOR YOU IF YOU GOT A BAD ONE!

THE GPS ON ANY TABLET IS HORRIBLE LOL!

NO TABLET WILL BE AS COOL AS THE PRIME AS THEY DO NOT TRANSFORM! (EXCEPT FOR MAYBE A NEXUS JUST CUZ THE DEVELOPERS COMMUNITY POTENTIAL OF IT!)

THATS WHY YOU PROBABLY BOUGHT IT!

okay I'm done yelling now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
What does proforming mean?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
I've owned the original Transformer and another Tegra 2 tablet before the TP, and all I can say to your comment is that I see a HUGE improvement in performance. Transitions are now super smooth, I don't see any lag at all, and the potential for this tablet goes way beyond what Tegra 2 offered (And anything else released before it, Including IPADS)

im on my second prime in two days. with all the problems currently on both it is definitely not an upgrade from my year old xoom. the xoom gps work just like it should, lock within seconds, even inside my house, just saying.

prime ips display (Of course if u find one without bleeding or dead pixel), cpu, weight and maybe battery is what i wish the xoom have. i like the camera and video recording on the xoom better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] postmeister:
I don't know how you guys are experiencing such bad battery life. I've had my prime since the 19th and the worst I've had was 9 hours.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
same here. I put mines on Normal mode since last complete charge. just to see what battery life is. I'm impressed with it so far. its been draining about 10% or a lil less per hour. depending on what I'm doing. I've constantly surfed web, use apps, played games, etc... I would call that heavy usage, especially since my prime has hardly been set down or sleep since charge. I'm pushing on 7 hrs. of battery use and still have 31% battery left. so that's at least 2.5 to 3 hrs left on battery. that'll easily push me into 9-10 hrs. of battery life on Normal mode and heavy usage. ill make sure to save screenshot of battery usage and post it here. ill edit this post later to show.

Look, If any of you are here in this forum just to bash the device and spread false propaganda, please go back to your APPLE forums.

Like I have said, the TP is the real deal Folks, and if Apple Fanboys can't except that, than too bad.

Don't be deterred to purchase a TP just because of the negativity in some of these posts- There may be some on this forum looking out for APPLE. It has been reported there are now 700,000 Android device activations per day, and this must make them worry!

I've had mine for about 24 hours now, and I can't put it down!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincey2kr1:
I don't think it's a iPad vs android fan thing, i could care less what apple does. I have samsung epic touch and the web browser (yes including opera, dolphin) and Netflix app put the prime to shame. I'm about to run some benchmarks and I won't be surprised if my exynos processor beats it in some benchmarks... But then you fan boys would discredit android vs android, it's already happened in this thread and a lot of you don't even have the prime. Prime fan boys , bottom line there is a problem with the overall software, gps, weak wifi signal and web browser on the prime. We want them fixed is all..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Fair enough. I'm assuming, then, that everyone with such issues has spent as much time letting ASUS know about these issues as they've spent complaining about them here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've ran Antutu and Chainfire (optimized more for multicore benchmarking) benchmarks. my prime is at the top of all lists. Prime blows everything else away in benchmarks. some categories by almost double. some people experiencing performance issues might have it in battery savings mode n not realize it. or they might have downloaded a bad app thats messing with prime performance. we've seen videos posted of member having all 5 homescreens fully loaded with Widgets and live wallpaper and Prime still scrolled/performed with no lag.

I'm sure some people are experiencing issues. could be hardware or software. if hardware, just return it and exchange for another one. if software, just wait for update or check the last things you downloaded that could be causing the issue. people with issues should be calling, emailing, or whatever to Asus to let them know. so they can fix it or push a software update. not everyone is experiencing issues that been said. alot have devices working perfectly fine, like me. ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
ive had mine for 2 hours now, and can report the following - GPS works fine, screen is great, and speed s definitely better. Unfortunately WiFi sucks (can get over 5mbps, next to GT 8.9 that is getting 15-16) and the biggest issue - left side of the tablet is separating from the screen. There is a lot of give when pressing left bottom and top together, nd quite frankly its ridiculous in a $500 device. I'll see if I can exchange it at best buy but I bet they won't have stock for a while so I'm afraid I might be returning this one.... which sucks because I do like it otherwise
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dakine:
Such a shame I was really looking forward to this device. Experience has taught me to never rely on future software updates to fix issues because they may never happen, they dont get my cash till its actually working. It is ridiculous to have to make excuses for an expensive piece of electronics. Google and Co need to up their game or people will jump ship.

ICS better be f#cking great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
my wifi is good. I'm at the furthest point away from router right now showing good -excellent signal strength. pulling 18-19Mbs. through speedtest.net on Comcast high speed. alot of times ill pull up to 30Mbs or more. depends on time of day n how much traffic on overall Comcast network/servers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
Im on Comcast as well, and tested in multiple places around the house now. It's consistently 1/2 to 1/3 the speed of GT 8.9, and it is noticeable on page loads in browser as well.

I'll try my luck tonight, maybe someow the local BB has a stock for exchanges....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
have you checked out the thread called "logging about which versions wrk and don't Wrk?"? you can compare your wifi version number found in settings in about tablet. see if yours might have a different. version from ones working properly. I posted screenshot of my info in there also.

Hi !

I want to use an external screen with my TF. I spotted some stuff on ebay I think might work, but I'm not totally sure. Since shipping will take 3 weeks at least, I'd like to be 100% sure it will be the right one for the TF.

My screen doesn't have hdmi, it's a VGA / DVI screen, so I was thinking of buying an hdmi to DVI cable, and an Hdmi to mini hdmi adapter to plug it into the TF. Will this work ? Or is there something like the stupid USB port that will accept only the Asus usb adapter to be able to communicate with it ? (I'm pretty pissed of with that one, since I can't find it cheap in my country, and the only websites I found in the US willing to ship to Switzerland quoted me shipping a 200$)

That the stuff I was planning on buying :

and

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

What do you think ? Might work ?

Thanks !
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
i've done this exact thing recently.. it works well.. I sat one of my monitors next to my bed and streamed some tv.

Though when i got the mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter.. it came with a pretty nice screen protector, too.

TL;DR: yes it will work. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
Thanks ! I'll do that, then ! For my part, it's to view pdfs (like Photoshop magazines) on a bigger screen while having the ability to flip through the pages. I already have two screens on the computer, can't put a third one without changing the graphic card, so I thought putting it on the TF would be a nice solution :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
that's a pretty good idea! its nice for watching shows in bed... or ircing with a bluetooth keyboard, too. ;D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
So, some news about my oh so great idea...

I finally received both the dvi - hdmi cable and the hdmi - mini hdmi adapter. I was very excited, plugged it in the screen and in the TF, and... "check cable signal". Yep. I tried finding stuff on the internet, nothing. Then my screen wouldn't work anymore altogether, I was a bit panicked. But yeah, as I like to live dangerously, I plugged it in my other screen... nothing, "check cable signal". (and then the screen wouldn't work anymore either and it took half an hour to get it back on the PC after switching cables, going VGA mode, playing with graphic card settings...)

I thought, maybe the TF isn't sending the signal properly, let's try the camera (Nex from Sony, with hdmi). Same thing, "check cable signal".

So now, my question... Is it possible both my screens are too old to be able to get hdmi signal ? (seems weird, but why not, they are not HD and don't have any hdmi entry) Or is the most probable scenario that my cable isn't working properly ? Or can it be the hdmi - mini hdmi adapter ? I only have my TF and my Nex with hdmi outputs, and they are mini hdmi, I have no other gear I can try with.

What do you think ? Screen is too old or cable is faulty ?

Are your monitors HDCP?

Sent from my ADR6400L
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
No idea... How do I check that ? (but I read from a guy who put the TF on external monitor by using an hdmi - vga cable, surely it was not an hdcp screen)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaoticWeaponry:
I believe you should be fine. If the monitor/tv supports DVI (Digital Video Interface) then you will be fine with an HDMI to DVI adapter as HDMI is also a digital video signal. Now if it was HDMI to VGA (analog video) then you would need a converter of some type.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altsyst:
I had the same problem, and it appears that my monitor does not handle the tf101 resolution through dvi (1280x960).

And there is actually no way to lower the tf101 output resolution through hdmi, afaik.

So check on the screen's manual the max resolution your monitors could handle through dvi (be careful,

it might be different than from vga).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
my screen is in 1650x1050, or something like that. The other one should be at least a 1280x960. So it might be that the cable is not working properly ? How can I know if the problem is with the cable and not with the hdmi mini hdmi converter ? What do you think is more likely ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaoticWeaponry:
Depends on the brand of cable and adapter. Usually the HDMI to mini HDMI adapter doesn't break, as it's just a block of plastic (in my case at least)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
Ok, I'll probably go and buy a new cable tomorrow. But I'm thinking about something : I figured the hdmi - mini hdmi adapter + cable puts a strain on the hdmi slot in the TF, so I'm wondering if it might be better to buy an hdmi mini hdmi cable, and an hdmi dvi adapter instead. The strain would be put on the external screen, but that's ok since the dvi is screwed to the screen.

Your opinion ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraffman:
I tried exactly what you are doing a few Weeks back, after assuming it would work and trying many combinations of wires I finally searched and found zero confirmed reports that you can use a dvi to hdmi cable for video output.

What I found works is going with a dvi to vga converter, its more expensive but looks like the only way without a straight hdmi to hdmi connection. Asus actually makes a converter for this purpose, HP also has one... I think they are both in the $40-50 range. I don't have links but just google Asus or HP hdmi to VGA converter

Good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
Thanks for that ! That way I won't have to buy another cable and have it not work. But, big question... why on earth are there hdmi to dvi cables if there is no way to convert video signal from hdmi to dvi ??? What use are these cables ?

BTW, I have a DVI to VGA converter, do you think I should try and stick it on my hdmi dvi cable ? (the thing is lying around, if I can get some use for it, I might as well try)

The Asus thing seems a great idea and I will probably end up buying it.

One thing I don't understand though... Why mini hdmi to VGA ??? Why not mini hdmi to DVI, if that needs a converter anyway, better make it dvi, no ? What about the resolution ? I don't want to get a stupid resolution on my screen because of problems with VGA (and I'm lucky I've still got a screen with VGA and DVI...).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
Actually, what about a cable like this one ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...akeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

I would be pissed of if I have to pay $50 for asus adapter if I can get one for 8$ on ebay...

Never mind, after a quick search on the internet, some people tried and it doesn't work...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
But actually, I HAVE to ask. Why doesn't it work ? What is the problem ? hdmi is digital, dvi is digital... WHY ???

(I haven't ordered my adapter from asus yet, still looking for a cheaper solution.)

Edit again : what I saw that doesn't work was the hdmi to VGA cable, I couldn't find anything about hdmi to dvi... I might go to the shop tomorrow with the TF and ask if I can try a cable there...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altsyst:
Mini hdmi to hdmi to hdmi-dvi converter works. I've tested this configuration myself.

For the vga, you need a converter, like the asus hdmi-vga one.

Just check the xda forum, searching with hdmi dvi keywords.

You'll have the answers to your question by digging a little more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] towlie288:
My lg monitor works fine with mini hdmi to hdmi to dvi. The ui is in 720p on the screen but if you play 1080p HW accelerated video the resolution changes as well. Wanna see a picture of proof? ;-)

I also have the converter and this works also fine. Have a look at the thread in the Accessoires forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Firstly, the video part of HDMI is electrically compatible with DVI, that is, they are the same thing just over different wires in a different connector.

However

TFT monitors _may_ not sync down to the specific TV-based refresh rates that HDMI outputs often use. Unless your monitor advertises that it will do the TV resolutions/refresh rates like 1080p/720p etc then its unlikely the TF1010 will display on them. The video output of the TF101 is 720p scaled up to a 1080p signal can your monitors do 1080p?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
I haven't the slightest clue... One is quite old, a samsung 2232BW (but that's my main display, so I won't use it with my TF) and the other one is about 1 year old, an HP crap given with a cheap computer...

I might as well buy the cable. Other than that, if my monitor can't handle the 1080p, would it work with the asus hdmi to vga converter ?

(BTW, the prices in the shop are totaly crazy. I went today and saw that the hdmi to dvi cables were about $90, and I found one on ebay, $7 shipping included, gold plated, 3 years warranty)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexane_A:
ok, my new cable was in the mail today, and... NOTHING è__é

"check video signal"

No input, nothing.

So I'm starting to wonder if it could be the hdmi to mini hdmi adapter, since that's the common denominator between my two cables, my two screens and my two sources.

Too bad I don't have anywhere something that outputs with hdmi and not mini hdmi, I could try and be sure it's not the cable (but now, having tried two perfectly fine cables, I guess it could be the adapter)...

I'll give it a last try, then I'll buy the asus thing... :(
