I have a micro-usb to HDMI cable and I can plug it to television, it shows a lower-converted resolution from butterfly's 1080*1920 screen. I know that OS has to convert display in order to fit the lower-heighted television resolution(1920*1080),but even though when I go in an app can work horizontally,it still display the lowered resolution. That makes me don't want to put anything to big screen. why don't play it with butterfly s's high definition screen? you say.
How to get this situation better?

Hi to all
I have a very strange question.
I watch live tv with broswer, using flash player,I have connected the dock with HDMI to my TV, and the same time I have connected my PC to the same TV using another HDMI input.
I see full screen the live tv of http://live24.gr/webtv/kontrachannel/ , or http://www.extrachannel3.gr/
The picture I am getting from the Tab to the Tv screen is not good comparing from the picture I get from my PC.
Tab's picture looks like it has lower resolution and if you look at it it seams it has pixels like a low resolution picture, Try it yourself, you will see the quality of the picture in the tab's screen if you don't have the dock.It is not good.
The resolution in both devices is 1920X1080, and I have from both devices full screen on TV.
Very strange, has anyone a solution?
Can I do something to have better picture?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
as you might have noticed, HDMI output is not the best, unfortunately.
Playing HD movies lag and skip sometimes, Emulators like Gameboid or Snes9x are heavily lagging / dropping fps.
I would like to ask you if we can solve this issue.
I started looking around and found a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501414) for the Atrix. It's a resolution changer, that can help improving the performance by choosing a lower resolution for the hdmi output.
Unfortunately I can't get it working on my Droid 3 (Stock 5.7.894, rooted).
It might not work, because the MirrorService.apk has to be replaced and might have to be signed again for my firmware.
What do you think, is there a way of getting it to work, or is there another way to improve the hdmi output? Is there maybe a 30fps cap?
Any Ideas?
The resolution is pretty low to begin with (when outputting to a large tv)... even if lowering the resolution would help, wouldn't it just look crappy? (crappier than it already looks?)
I thought the resolution of the output is 1080p or 720p? My TV shows [email protected] when connecting the cable.
I see what you're saying now... sorry. If you reduce the resolution, the "look" could still be the same, but perhaps could perform better since there is less video/res to process?
This is what I was hoping at least.
Is it normal for a television to make the text look weird? Like hard to read and stuff. Maybe there are not enough pixels per inch?
I'm using my laptop's (Dell Latitude e6320) mini HDMI port to hook up to my 42" LG TV http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-42LB5600-42-Inch-1080p/dp/B00KVLT0A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1419899716&sr=1-1&keywords=Led+tv
The resolution is set to 1920x1080 and although things seem fairly sharp the text is still hard to read. I am fairly close to my TV as well (maybe 4-5 feet). Is a TV just not supposed to work for reading small text?
It's a 1080p TV so I'm expecting the text to be sharp and easy to read...
You're not supposed to be sitting 1.5m (5ft) from a 42" TV... They're not designed for that.
A 42" 1080p TV has an effective DPI of 48. A monitor has 72. High quality print is 300+.
If you want to read text on a TV that close, you'll need at least a 4K TV.
As @ShadowLea says. TV's are not designed for that stuff. Even with 4K it sometimes looks weird from close distance. I can tell that from my own experience with a Samsung curved 55 inch.
I recently got an (unofficial) adapter to connect my S2 to a TV/monitor, and it works, but I don't like how it outputs to a 4:3 to a 16:9 display, and the resolution is clearly quite low. Is this how the official Samsung adapter outputs as well? Is there any way to change the resolution of the HDMI output, without affecting the resolution of the native display? I would also like a way of disabling the tablets screen while using HDMI, as that is just unnecessary battery drain.
i change it, with the lg tv zoom function
Had the same problem - displaying a 4:3 device on a 16:9 screen will give you black bars on the left and right side of the TV.
Unfortunately I found no solution for changing ONLY the resolution of the HDMI-output, but a great app which will change the resolution of Galaxy Tab: Screen Shift (by Aravind Sagar).
Warning: there are some severe side-effects when putting the device in 1920x1080 mode: FC Samsung keyboard, FC Samsung weather etc - but gaming, playing videos etc will work great! ?
To get real HD video out, you have to use the native Samsung video player. 3rd party video players don't support HD out, only SD video out.
That might explaine your low resolution.
Also when using Samsung video player connected to HDTV, then the tablet screen blacks out automatically to save battery.
4:3 video can be stretched to 16:9 in the Samsung player.
I'm not sure if this all works with an unofficial adapter.
Edit: As of April 2016, VLC-player also supports HD out over MHL.
Get a chromecast, problem solved.
I have an old monitor Acer p221w with​ a resolution of 1680x1050, I connect the Chromecast 2 with a VGA to HDMI adapter, so the Chromecast at startup screen shows the image for a few seconds then bumps up it's resolution at the highest of it's capacity that leads to transmitting audio only and a black screen. As my screen isn't quite 1080 can I force Chromecast to scale down it's resolution?
Thanks!
You need to do that at the VGA Adapter...
