It may be just be the color settings on your tv that is different from your monitor. Looks like your tv is running a little on the brighter side compared to your monitor.
Nope, third image is not the monitor image, its the HDMI output on the same TV, chromecast output is dull!!! ...

Chromecast is probably displaying a compressed/scaled version compared to the TV. The TV would simply display the full resolution which would be richer and more detailed.
Yea looks like it, damn i even have the quality in extreme, even then .. Nothing beats wired HDMI connection.

Well thats because HDMI is a full uncompressed digital.
It's like comparing a wireless router to a direct ethernet connection (which, if you have the right cable, is possible ). Not only is wireless slower and less reliable, it also has a router (or in our case, a Chromecast) as a potential bottleneck.

Hello guys,
Youtube now has real Super HD Videos (4096p) !! Yes its true and if you are on a slow connection it will take hours to buffer even a single minute.
But you don't need to buffer as some screenshots have already been posted here - Check out Super HD video screenshots!
Here is a pic iam posting here from here.

Catch the full story here.
Update: Its 4096p videos not 4000p.
they still look horrible compared to a normal hd movie; they really should have increased the bitrate instead of resolution
They are improving as of late though. I like their leanback feature too. http://www.youtube.com/leanback

Yeah have youtube leanback feature is also awesome : http://www.techit.in/youtube-launched-leanback/
Not sure about having a 25' screen for the 4000p But, googles leanback feature is very cool
Nice ladies galaxys!!
next time you better invite me
It isn't 4000p. The resolution is 4096*2304 at 24fps. Therefore, it is 2304p.
Its like calling 1080p video 1920p.

the logic doesn't apply to this resolution. youtube have come out with the resolution that is not yet properly defined. but it is progressive. if u make a good search, u'll find it's defined in 4096p and not taken the logic of height..
in fact, this resolution is completely different, its not wqhd, wfhd... no it's completely something else..
This resolution is called 4K (meaning you need 4 HDTV, each 1080p to watch this ). The area is 4 times larger as the sides are 2 times larger than full HD.
Personally I think it is BS. First of all you need expensive cameras like RED ONE to record videos. Second you need 4K display which are rare and also expensive. And most importantly the quality because of compression is not great.
Can the nook hd+ play music through the dock connector using the usb cable or hdmi adapter? Is there any way that it can be done?

Yes Nook play music and video over special cable. Only one i know is not cheap and Nook original here. Seems Nook want be so "closed" and dont want share technical information to other accessories producers.

Grrrrr. Try next time use commas and dots behind sentences. Very hard to understand!
First about HDMI to RCA. It can be done but not cheap. One example about similar question.
to second question i cant ansver. Dont have clue. I Think it acts like any laptop when its attached with hdmi cable to another device.

Better use some bluetooth receiver for car use (example)
Has anyone gotten desktop mode working? I haven't been able to with any adapter that worked with my mate 10 pro...
Yeah works using a cheap Amazon usb c to hdmi for me..
Yep, cheapest USB-HDMI that I could find on Amazon worked fine.
Yep £10 adapter from Amazon works a charm although one thing I've noticed is that Excel/Word will not work on there without a 365 licence which is a little annoying.
I got it working using an amazon adaptor but the quality of the picture is very suspect for me. Looking at some really nice photos I have taken on there doesn't do them any justice really.

It's most likely because you're viewing on a 1080/4K monitor and not the phones native resolution which is what it outputs at. (Pretty daft if you ask me) Also someone mentioned if viewing on a TV that changing the input settings of the HDMI to PC improves quality too.

Most of the apps including Microsoft excel mobile do not work in landscape mode in Huawei desktop mode. Not sure what is the plan from Huawei to close the gap of compatibility issue.

Allrighty... Guess I was trying to be too fancy by using USB C docks. Though they worked on the Mate.

I wanted to do something like this, so that the phone gets docked into an already setup dock (HDMI/USB Mouse Keyboard) rather than just plugged in to a wire. But couldn't see anything that would fit the bill. Considering making something myself to solve the problem
I'm using something similar to this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARKTEK-Cha...F8&qid=1525091973&sr=8-24&keywords=usb+c+hdmi
and thinking of modifying this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youbeautif...=1525092036&sr=1-5&keywords=clear+phone+stand
So would be a case of mounting the USB C port through the bottom of the stand and then fixing the ports themselves to the bottom base of it.

Anyone can confirm if it is working now?
Hi,
Just been tinkering with a Pi-Top V2 and some cables/other bits and now have a Samsung DeX laptop with a 14 inch 1080P display.
Needs a few more bits before it's more polished but thought I'd post my initial project and will post updates as they occur.
More details on the Pi-Top forum where I describe what's needed to make it all work.
Ok, have added the following enhancements:
1. Dual USB-2 hub - provides 2 x USB ports at the rear where the Raspberry PI middle ports would be
2. USB-C socket - this means no wires come out of the unit - a USB-C to USB-C cable (with 4K video capability) is used to connect the unit to the smartphone
To do
1. See if I can get some speakers into the unit or use extenal pocket USB speakers
2. Alternative would be to somehow breakout the audio from the HDMI signal and feed that to an internal amp and speakers - not sure there would be room for the electronics but will take a look

This is really really great! Can't wait to see how this project develops!
Can you post a link to the pi-top forum? I would like to follow this project too
That absolutely awesome. I was just about to buy an older laptop and gut it.
Details
I have checked out the link on pi-top. You have done an amazing job and appreciate your sharing.
I really would like to build this for myself.
Can you post or send me pictures if you have any from before you threw the insulation tape on? I wanted to get a better look at the parts where you have to cut the usb cable and connect to the GPIO.
Also can you send me the names of the parts you used (part numbers) so I can purchase from Amazon. I have a list made, but want to double check since your set up currently works.
Thank you.
Subbed to this thread. I think I am going to try and do something like this!! I have a dozen or so laptops that are in various forms od not functioning that I can gut.
But that color!
I burnt the pi top screen trying to do this :crying:
I've noticed that these things are becoming popular,
And I thought why not make one for my Android head unit?
After doing some research in Computer Vision and hacking my car's android, I'm happy to announce that it works
You can see a live demo in my youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzpn0ROKkX8
The solution is software only - it uses complex computer vision algorithm (optimized the hell of it for embedded devices) to draw a top view of the surroundings of the car.
It translates rear camera view:

into top camera view (with memory of previous seen space - its a buch of mathematics that does that inside):
Hope soon to release the app

Existing solutions use 4 cameras with an extra unit that stitches them together or using odometry.
I'm aiming for a software-only solution, using only Android MCU and reverse cam that we already have.
Doing some research on my PC, I've managed to achieve some progress.
You can watch the video in my youtube channel
Managed to open reverse cam with OpenCamera app and even record a video.
For that killing SofiaUIServer process on my MCU was needed coz its responsible for turning on the camera as soon as you hit reverse.
That means that I can write a pure android app that does the bird view (hopefully performance won't be an issue).
Now it's only a matter of time (and will) until I finish that little project on Android.
What do you guys think, will there be a demand for such a thing?

I am interested in this project.
I have both rear and front cameras. The front camera can be opened only with F-CAM app which does not do recording. It would be nice to have both cameras showing on screen and recording. My system is mtcd based and I am not sure if your app would work.
Update:
I have a working demo in my car which can be seen in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlUI662VCA8

HI,
could this work on an Atoto head unit, would you mind to share the app?
Thanks
Frank
Wow, amazing work! Can't wait for the release.
Good luck!
