I demonstrate the HDMI output capabilities of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" Tablet. I am very impressed with this feature.

PLEASE NOTE: This video does not do the output justice. Trust me, the color is very accurate and the contrast and saturation are very close to what you see on the tablet's screen. Unfortunately, this video shows the TV as being a little blown out. This is not the case in real life.

Stay tuned for even more videos soon!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] OmgitzFire:
I'm getting more and more convinced to buy one, keep the vids coming :]
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Pirub:
If the video on the KFHD is only 720p is it outputting 720p or 1080p to the TV?

Do you know if Amazon instant video support 1080p output via KFHD?

Thank you. I'm wondering abouf upgrade from KF to KFHD and 720p v 1080p output would make the difference.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Pirub:
Hello?

If the KFHD renders at 720p how does it output at 1080p?

Does the processor process at 1080p and downsize to the 720p KFHD or are there two seperate renderings one for tablet and one for HDMI?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] reverendkjr:
I'm not sure how to determine what the output is. It looks fantastic to me, but I can't give you specifics on whether it is 720p or 1080p. I'll do some further research.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] e.mote:
>If the KFHD renders at 720p how does it output at 1080p?

HDMI output is 1920x1080@60Hz. That's what the TV said about the input feed in OP's video.

UI display is undoubtedly upscaled from KFHD's 1280x800 (some top/bottom slice is likely cut off). Video render is likely native 1080p. It's easy to tell: Freeze-frame at a detailed frame and peruse the detail. Compare it to native 1080p playback on your PC. You should be able to see the diff if it's scaled-up 720p--and if you can't, then it's a moot point anyway.

Edit: On second thought, if the video is shown on both KF and TV displays, then it's probably scaled up 720p. To do native 1080p on TV, the KF would need to render two different res simultaneously, which may still be within the 4460's capability, but isn't the most expedient route.

Edit2: From looking at OP's vid again, it looks like KF preserves the entire UI display on HDMI out. So instead of lopping off the extra 80pix and losing part of the status/menu bars, it squishes the 16:10 AR down to TV's 16:9, which is preferable, as you can't normally tell the difference anyway.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] reverendkjr:
Sounds about right. There is a TINY delay in the TV, so it's possible that is stemming from an independent render from the actual tablet's display. Either way, it sure looked good.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Pirub:
That is what I stated e.mote.

A video was played that was supposedly 1080p. Now the KFHD has to downscale the video to 720p since the resolution of 720p is 1280x720. The KFHD is 1280x800 so it will fit the screen with 80 extra vertical pixels.

1. Either the KFHD is sending the 1080p video output to HDMI before it downscales the resolution

2. The KFHD sends the downscaled resolution to HDMI

3. It has a seperate rendering for both outputs.

reverendkjr: If you could take two pictures of the KDHF playing a video in both 720p and 1080p and compare them we could more easily arrive at a solution.

Thank you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] reverendkjr:
I don't think that a picture is going to help here. I watched a 720p and a 1080p trailer on the device. They look identical. I could not see any difference at all. I also looked at the TV playing both. There was a definite difference. The 1080p was indeed a lot higher quality.

My conclusion:

On the device, it scales. So it can only play whatever resolution the device can handle. In this case, 1280x800.

The HDMI must have it's own render, because I believe it was definitely playing 1080p on the TV.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] e.mote:
>If you could take two pictures of the KDHF playing a video in both 720p and 1080p

You can't take a snapshot of HDMI out. The reason content vendors selected HDMI is that it's a secure path which prevent signals from being captured (read: pirated). There are HDMI recorders, but AFAIK they do analog captures, which means a fidelity loss.

The only sure way to tell is from the eyeball test, which needs to be done firsthand. If you're that worried about it, go to a BestBuy and ask to have the demo model plugged into a TV display, then run a 1080p clip and do the eyeball test yourself.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Pirub:
I apologize if my request was not sufficiently clear. What I meant was a picture of the TV via HDMI out of the KFHD with a lens that captures images with a sufficiently high resolution.

For now, as it is apparent you have, by your testimony, tested via direct visual experience, I will grant that you are correct and that the output of 1080p video is of significantly higher quality compared to that of 720p.

Thank you reverendkjr.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] robertc88:
Well I have a cheap router and only a small cable modem from Verizon and I can get Netflix to play what I'd call more than acceptable on the KFHD. However, going to the TV from there, the picture is not even close.

If it was bad on the KFHD I can understand. Does something have to be enabled or maybe it is the cheap cable I picked up from Best Buy that I use with my Acer A500? It works at least so I thought it would be compatible with the KFHD but maybe not good enough.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Pirub:
You have to check your bandwidth. Since you're on your KFHD it might be difficult.

Netflix 720p requires about 5mbps. You can Google bandwidth test from a PC to check your download speed. If it's less than 5mbps your video won't be 720p.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_video#World_Wide_Web_HD_resolutions

It looks like Amazon instant is only 720p. Netflix only supports 1080p on certain devices. So much for 1080p.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] robertc88:
Cable modem and router to my KFHD I understand about bandwidth and the PQ is very good, BUT I I'm unaware of bandwidth being an issue from KFHD to TV unless I'm mistaken.

I need to read other experiences with this feature and how good or not it is. Something tells me it isn't the cable I'm using either from KFHD to TV.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Pirub:
:crying:

Well KFHD has less than half the pixels of a 1080p TV and the pixels are much more dense in terms of ppi(pixels per inch). When you view the video on your KFHD through netflix and the stream is less than 720p due to bandwidth constrictions, it is entirely likely that the picture will look fine on your KFHD but inadequate on a larger TV with a much lower pixel density.

If your bandwith is less than 5mbps you won't be viewing HD video through Netflix, it will be SD (standard definition) which won't look good on a HDTV.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] robertc88:
Thanks for the clarification.

I have a Blu Ray player I stream movies from to the TV which is pretty good so not having a great picture from the KFHD to TV isn't the end of the world to me. I don't stream that much really, I just flip in a Blu Ray disc for PQ nirvana.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] DSTOFEL:
I picked up a cheap HDMI to HDMI micro cable at Best Buy to test the HDMI out on the Kindle Fire HD (Rockfish)

I tested the HDMI output playing a couple of HD movies from Amazon Prime (True Grit and Into the Wild). Both of these movies look fantastic on the Kindle Fire HD. However, when viewing on the my HDTV's, the quality of the video is not that good. For example: It's not nearly as sharp as an HD program via Direct TV for example. The picture is kind of washed out and not very clear. It looks a lot like SD instead of HD.

I also noticed that the audio is not being output as Dolby Digital 5.1. I was hoping that it was.Has anyone had any luck Dolby 5.1 sound output?

Note: I tried it on 2 TV's (One 50 inch Samsung 1080P Plasma and also on a 37 inch Panasonic 720P Plasma). Similar results on both. Maybe it's the cheap "Rockfish" cable I picked up at Best Buy to test with? Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere? I was hoping for typical HD quality picture when using the HDMI out. But, I'm not seeing it on my TV's at least. btw....I have charter cable internet (50mbs download speed)....so plenty of speed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] robertc88:
I tried outputting to a smaller Sony HDTV display, 32" instead of my Samsung 40". While better, movies isn't something with my current router and cable modem I will be doing from the KFHD.

I have an Acer A500 which has HDMI interface as well. Maybe I'll try it again as I cannot recall if the pq was any better.

As far as the HDMI cable? I'm still unsure if a higher quality one would make any difference whatsoever given my router and cable modem bandwidth to begin with.

There's always games though. Riptide is lots of fun so a plus for that to my HDTV displays!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] DSTOFEL:
Thanks for the feedback on the HDTV test. I was really hoping for some better performance for Amazon Instant "HD" video when using HDMI to output to my 50 inch 1080P Plasma. However, based on my testing, the HDMI out on the Kindle Fire HD is something I would never use. At least not for watching Amazon instant "HD" video. I was hoping for something along the lines of what I see when I steam a movie using the Apple TV (really good "HD" picture quality). Still the Amazon instant "HD" video looks great on the Kindle Fire itself & at $199 it's quite the deal. Just wish I had an option to see "quality" Amazon content on my HDTV's (ie without purchasing another device like Roku).

I friend of mine has a S2 with about 6800 scores, a other have the LG Optimus Speed (this have the same chip (2x1 GHz and Tegra2) and get 6800 scores too.

Before he have a other Kernel he got about 5600 scores. So the most scores you get with a good Kernel. I would like to install the ardatdat but in the thread of ardatdat kernel is writing something - I have a file names "sc" in the system order under xbin or so - and the developer wrotes when this file exist don't flash this Kernel...........

So allready I'm happy with Franks Mod and his Kernel. Since 5 days my phone is on. A little bit online (wlan) some calls and some games and much benchmarks was running. With original GB maybe 1 and a half day before charge again.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
It's not actually kernel. It's mostly android 4.0.4 plus new version of antutu itself that gives more score points.

On 2.3.5 I had scores between 5900-6200, on 4.0.3 - 6300-6500, on 4.0.4 6600-6800 - S2 stock frequency 1,2 ghz.

Overclocked tegra performs almost always better. Overclocked exynos....sometimes better sometimes worse (especially when you OC up to 1,5 ghz it performs really random)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myvijay:
Only two variants of English, the English (US) and English (UK) are listed under the language settings. When I used an app called "Any Locale, a switching widget", I saw way more options than what was shown in the language menu. When I selected an English (India) option in the app, the language setting in language & input reflected that change and displayed the selected language as English(India). I still cannot access half the options the app shows in the main default language settings menu. Does anybody have any input on why this is happening ? Is it because GNex was not launched in all countries that the language option was limited. Does other non-stock JB ROMs also have this limitation ? Any input on the topic would be welcome. TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Stock 4.1.1 and I have access to like 40 languages in the main phone settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myvijay:
Let me try to make myself clearer. There are around 40 languages shown in the Language menu, in which there are only two variants for English . (United Kingdom and United states). Where as the app is offering a lot more options for the locale, which I can set from the app, like English (India). This gets reflected in Settings -> Language & input settings -> Language, so it is working to some extent but I dont understand why I cannot set it from there in the first place. The reason I am going to such detail is because the Navigation app uses this information to set accent of the voice, but I could not set the language to Indian locale from the default menu. I am using the Yakju build which is supposed to be the international build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:

That's a good question, but unfortunately I have no idea. And I didn't realize that you could access other languages just by using that app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myvijay:
Digging more, I found that play store has lots of apps which support custom locales, you could combine language , country and region to create a new one, there are some which retain the setting after reboot, but yet to find one which retains the settings after reboot on Jellybean devices. These apps are handy if you bought some phone say from no-name chinese manufacturer and did not have the usual locales on them.
