Hi,
is there any way to use chromecast with a vertically installed tv ?
Only if your TV supports screen rotation.
The CCast has no method of detecting screen orientation so unless the TV can flip the picture the CCast will display whatever the normal orientation is on the screen.

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.
This might be to specific or weird, but is there any way to keep Google Play Music in full screen on my TV when I cast it? At the start of a song it goes full screen mode, but after a few seconds it changes to a smaller pic of the album art that keeps moving around the screen. It moves like the screen saver of an early 2000s DVD player and it enrages me.
I want full screen. Please help.
Drives me batty too but I believe it's to prevent screen burn in

yeah, certainly is to avoid screen burn.
What I did is connect the CCast in my 5.1 receiver and then just leave the TV turned off while casting Google Music
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...
My phone used to cast perfectly well before I updated to 9.0.0.168.
Now it flickers, the video gets broken up and green bands keep popping up. The bottom half of the screen is more stable.
What could be the problem?
My phone's model is CLT-L29. Here is a picture of what happens when I do wireless projection.
Hey, the picture is missing!
I'm struggling with casting too. The screen mirroring via Google Home to my Chromecast used to be good.
But since the upgrade from Emui8 to Emui9 the resolution is terrible, it's blurred.
Before displaying it reports the hardware is not optimal. But heck, this is a P20 Pro so I would expect more.
Huawei support the wired or wireless display, but my Samsung LED TV is already too old to support, so I'm stuck to Chromecast, but that doesnot good.
