Are the buttons for back, home and apps hideable? They are part of the 1080p screen, so they take up real estate...
I was wondering if I could hide them when playing a movie in 1080p. That would be a lot nicer and give 1:1 pixel mapping.

I hope it has a video player like apple's. After click a key, the picture will be stretched at top and bottom. The left and right side will be cut a little. Note screen is 1280*800, but the 720p is 1280*720. if have this, it will be full screen.
Have you tried MX Video player yet?

This one is closer, but doesn't have a choice to keep the ratio, turn to full screen, cut left/right. It Has a long face selection, who want this?
I tried the tvout with the offical hmdi adapter but it mirrors the tablet including the system bar, and since the resolution of the tablet is 16:10 and not 16:9 I get two black vertical stripes at both sides.
Is there a way to change this behavior? Like a full 16:9 or a 1080p out?

You'll need to change the settings on your TV to stretch the picture or zoom it, most TV's have a setting to automatically do this to hide black bars, the only problem is it alters the shapes, people end up with odd shaped heads etc
So basically there is no way to play on a tv a 16:9 fullhd video or a slidewhow without status bar? I mean, is mirroring the only one mode?
You can set this up to hide the status bar, but 16:9 is always going to be an issue as the tablet is not 16:9
Yes, but still tvout is a limited feature since I can't have an extended desktop or i.e. a slideshow played on tv while working on something on the tab...

Hang on......so you want to play a video to the TV in HD widescreen while still doing something on the tablet ?
I'm pretty sure there's no Android devices that do this
A kind of... My first aim is to play a slideshow on a tv in full screen mode, while seeing the slide's tree on the tablet and choosing which one to show in full screen on the tv.
Second aim is to disable tablet video and show only tv. It would be nice to play a 3d game on the tv, but as long as the video is doubled fps are so low that it's unplayable.
FPS won't be doubled as all you're doing is doubling up the video output, not the data going through the GPU, there's plenty of video's on youtube of folks using MHL adapters to connect to a TV to play games
Yes fps won't be halved but, since a tough game is very cpu intensive, doubling the video it lags a lot more the tablet. My tablet is much more laggy even simply swiping on the home screens or app drawer when connected to a tv.
Flash motley kernel and overclock to 1.4
I believe a Nexus Q will let you send video from the tablet to the TV whilst doing other stuff on the tablet, but it costs quite a lot.
Definitely hear some unrealistic multitasking wants. Also, doesn't ICS improve hdmi out options as far as full screen video, not just mirroring?

The Galaxy note 10.1 has this function in the movieplayer to only show the video while controls are shown on the tablet. This is exactly what you are asking if i understand you correctly.
I'm also looking for more possibilities in this area. Being able to see the picture Gallery while only showing the last picture (or non at the start) would be amazing!
If i find anything i will share it here
I want to convert some music videos and i wanted to know what height and width to use so that the video occupies the whole screen. i am looking to get rid of the black borders.
Exactly the full resolution of the phone. 1920*1080

If you use MX player from the play store you can zoom to get rid of black bars
If your video playback software doesn't support the action bar you'll get the dots. Native res is 1080p.

Remember to go into the decoder settings and enable H/W+.
before i buy this tablet, i need to know if it is possible to change the screen format from the stock 4:3 to the more useful 16:9 in a custom rom or kernel or whatever? i didn't see this asked anywhere, and it is black friday, so i need to find out quickly as i need to make a buying decision. thanks for any help!

What do you mean change it? It's physically and natively a 4:3 tablet.
However you can use the tablet in which ever orientation you please.
If you turn it 90 degrees to landscape mode it becomes a 16:9 tablet, but you can t physically move the buttons.
You're better off buying the tab S if you want native 16:9.

what i mean, is like on a computer, you can change formats of videos or games or what not, from 4:3 to 16:9, so you don't have the large black bars on the screen while viewing one of them.
Er?? Then you either have a totally distorted picture (all things are too high in relation to their width), or you must crop the left and right sides to fit the picture into the 4:3 screen.
If that is what you want... but it is not very reasonable to want it...

What you ask doesn't make sense, you can't physically alter the ratio of something without distorting the image or cutting part of it off.. If a video is 16:9 it must be played back at 16:9 regardless of the physical dimensions of the device.
If you don't like black bars then you would have to use a player such as mx player that allows the image to be stretched to full screen.

You can't not even a computer in proper look. From 4:3 ratio resolution to 16:9 ratio resolution will make everything look stretching and distorted.
Hi Guys.
Interested in getting this device but was wondering if the teardrop notch can be hidden during YouTube playback

According to the early reviews on YouTube, there's no option to hide the notch in MIUI, so I doubt you'd be able to in YouTube, I could be wrong though
can we remap assistant button on Chinese version to Google assistant?
wondering does most ppl prefer to crop youtube or any video just for fullscreen experience?
own 18.5:9 phone but most youtube video still 16:9 or new 18:9 (rare).
mi9 already have 19.5:9 screen, i will never crop to make top and bottom video gone just for full screen experience
In the GSM Arena review they play a game, and at either side I don't see a notch. It's really odd, because it doesn't look like there is, say, a black border around the notch either.
I will be interested to see for myself when my phone arrives
