Look for movies with resolutions at or above 1280×800.

I don't think XDA condones piracy. You can always convert your own movies with Handbreak.
720p movies should be perfect for it (1280×720).
There is only 80 pixels difference, which will result in minimal black orders if you don't stretch.
With the GT been wide screen display it would be perfect if you are viewing movies that are in 1:78:1 or 1:85:1 aspect ratio which will have tiny black bars on the top and bottom. And then there are also 2:40:1 or 2:35:1 which will have black bars on top and bottom. watching a movie on the 10.1 is much better then a IPAD2. IPAD 2 is 4:3 screen..... The black bars will be much larger on a IPAD2 then on a 10.1. The only good thing about the IPAD 2 has over the 10.1 if a movie is in fool screen........
if you download an app called rockplayer lite, it will allow you to stretch any video resolution to full screen. It does a decent job and allows you to view videos not meant for your tablet. It also allows you to view some videos not supported in the stock player.

Hello,
I was just wondering if it was possible for all youtube videos to play true fullscreen on the evo. Well, something like the iphone video resizing for all youtube videos. Is that possible?
Thanks
Turn your evo sideways in the youtube app.

I know that but some videos don't play totally fullscreen on the evo. The iphone has an option to make any video fit 100 percent to scale. Is there a way for the evo to do that
Oh I know what your talking about. Nope can't do that.

Its lame, but you can get the same result by actually going to view the video within the browser itself.
Just clico on hq and its full screen

Thats because the videos are 4x3, and you are watching them on a 16x9 screen. 16x9 videos will be full screen when you click the HQ button. 4x3 videos wont because that would be stretching the video and make it look awful.

It always astounds me how so many people would rather the video be stretched and distorted than have the black borders on the sides. Eh? To each their own…

lol me too. My best friend runs his PC to his tv and doesn't use the proper resolution so everything ends up stretched. He isn't even aware and doesn't seem to notice that everyone is extra fat, drives me nuts....
FWIW, the Evo's screen is actually 5:3 ratio, so almost any video content will need to be stretched or have some kind of black bars. Apparently the YouTube app doesn't support stretch.

Right? Almost no one in my family watches actual HD tv on our 50" plasma. It's such a waste IMO, and when I ask why they aren't watching the show in HD, they ask what the difference is and say they don't notice that the picture is stretched. Half the time, they say they thought they were watching HDTV. Or they say they don't care.
Seriously. There are 5 people living in my house, and I'm the only one who notices that standard definition looks terrible. WTF?
As for the black bars, some people think they're not seeing the entire frame of the video if their entire screen isn't filled. My dad used to insist on buying full screen versions of movies because he was convinced that the black bars in wide screen movies meant that the picture was being cut off, and he was only seeing half of it. As soon as I found out the real difference, I stopped watching full screen movies completely, but may dad still isn't convinced. Oh, well... What 'cha gonna do?
I noticed when I pause transformers at 8:48, the normal view looks normal, but when I click the little button on the top right hand corner to expand, I can only see "ransformer" out of transformers. It cuts off the sides a lot.
Does this happen with every video?
The screen is small as it is, I don't want to go smaller still.
Is there anyway to fix the ratio somehow?
Sorry total noob when it comes to videos.
Thanks.

There is no "stretch" option for videos in the Movies and TV app, only a zoom function. Rather than distort the video, the video is displayed in its original aspect ratio, which is wider than the Nexus 7 screen.

So this is something that has to do with the Movies & TV App. Phew. Atleast we can count on Netflix and internally stored movies.

^ True that .. what sucks is that I can play the transformers movie on my htc design over the 4g network. It's smoother , LOOKS BETTER and shows the entire screen with no cut offs.

On my LG Full HD 1080p 37" TV, the mirrored display from my Nexus 10 to the TV is always coming out with black edges roung the screen ie not being displayed in full screen. The only options in terms of aspect ratio for the TV are 4:3 or 16:9 when connected to the tablet. The Zoom1 and Zoom 2 options can only be accessed when viewing normal TV or DVDs. Is there a way I can fill up the black edges on the TV with what's being displayed from the tablet? The only way i get full screen is when i watch videos from Google Play Movies. I would live to stream videos from XBMC in full screen mode if possible. Thanks. The info displayed when the OK button on my TV's remote is being pressed shows 1920*1080 @60Hz when Tablet is connected to TV via HDMI

2650 / 1600 = 1.60
1920 / 1080 = 16 / 9 = 1.78
So I'm guessing that the screen fills top-to-bottom, but you have blank edges on the left and right? If you zoom, you're going to be losing some of what's on the top and bottom edges, just to fill the left and right ones.

It really does depend on your TV. I have a toshiba 1080p 50 inch and I can either have some of the screen cut off or have black bars. Some tvs have scale to fit when you plug in something externally.

Nope all 4 sides have the blank black bars ie none of the sides are filled and my TV does not have the option to zoom in or out.I'm just stuck with the 16:9 aspect ratio.

I bought my TV in 2007. Could this have anything to do with the age and model of the TV. Remember I mentioned in the earlier post that it was a 1080p Full HDTV by LG and it still works well. I use to and still have an Acer A500 tablet and when connected to the same TV via the same HDMI cable,it mirrors the display perfectly without any bars round the edges. So,I was surprised when I got a different outcome with a much powerful tablet. Must be the Nexus 10 not playing well with the TV then.

That's a shame, I tested my N10 once with my 1920x1080 samsung TV and it worked fine. You might try contacting customer service at LG if you're really determined to get answers.

Cheers. I might do just that. But if it works with the 10.1" Acer A500, I should see no reason for the N10 not to. Its just a weird situation. I'll continue to rock the Acer as a set top box device to my TV while the N10 would remain a hand held instead.

i able to mirror the tablet to dtv fine(with 1080p output + fit to screen settings)
only concern is moving at the homescreen is a bit choppy but watching movie is fine. also why youtube doesn't allow full screen?grr
I do not have a micro HDMI cable to test it with, but with all normal hdmi inputs on both my 32" and 42" LG screen, regardless of source, i have the option of aspect ratios, zoom 1 and 2, and then the one which for me is most important, "just scan". Some sources will be larger than the screen, or smaller, and as such cut off, or black bars, but with Just Scan it does it's magic and is scaled to the size of the lcd.

The reason I ask is because all of the tv shows I will watch on this will be in 720p. Movies will be at 1080p at best.
Will the super high resolution of the screen actually work against me, making my media look like crap?
For example, watching something in 480p format on even a 5 inch, 1080p phone screen looks like garbage.

Given that it has 2/3 the subpixels as a traditional RGB LCD, and 1/2 the RGB subpixels, I'm not quite convinced it's kill, let alone overkill.
Has the price been confirmed at $600? I was hoping the baseline wifi model would be $500.
Anyway one of my primary use cases is pdf reading so no I don't think the high PPI is overkill. For me it's one the prime selling points along with the S-pen.

If you think the current model is overkill on the resolution, then buy the outgoing model with 1280x800 resolution, you can get a 16GB WiFi for $449, but it should drop further.
Nah that's not overkill. The nexus 10 has the same resolution.

I wouldn't go back to a lower resolution tablet ... period. Video looks great on the screen and youtube looks great on the screen. The higher resolution is superb for reviewing photos, web, pdf's/reading ... every thing looks great on the screen. There is absolutely no downside to the screen resolution.

I think just above the "standard" for tablets around this size. To answer your question; no your movies will not look bad.
It doesn't matter that the video material is lower resolution than the screen resolution. What matters is that the higher the pixel density, the clearer the picture. Plus, the 720p material scales perfectly to the Note since it is exactly 4 times the resolution. Video on my Note compared to my 1280 x 800 Transformer Prime screen is like night and day.
It is definitely not overkill.
I think high resolution videos (720p and 1080p) look great on this tablet, 480p looks bad in comparison on any larger screen, especially if you're viewing at close distances even if it didn't have a high resolution. The best thing about the high resolution is reading text.
Got one of those m-hdmi to normal HDMI adapters, it works great but I was wondering if the tn7 can out put higher than the 1280x800 the notes screen is to the TV? Or does it just detect and output the highest Res any way? Also does anyone know how to make the image fit the whole screen? I've got bars on the sides and top/bottom. First time I've used a tabs HDMI out =/

At the moment, you'll only get 1080p output if you watch a 1080p video. I was really hoping they were going to add Console Mode with full 1080p output with the 4.4 update, but alas... nope!
As for the image not fitting the TV, the tablet's display is actually 16:10 at 1280x800 and not 16:9 at 1280x720, so the image doesn't quite fit. It's kinda stupid since even my old Acer A500 tablet had a 16:10 screen but adjusted the output to fit 16:9. Long story short, though, is that it is what it is, and there's not really anything that can be done besides hoping and waiting for Nvidia to iron it out (or for a dev to fix it with a custom ROM some day).

If you don't want the bars on either side of the screen, you need to roll back to the original 4.2.2 firmware. Using that firmware, if you use a movie player like MX Player, when a film is playing, pinch to 'zoom' in on the film. As you do so the the edge of the film will disappear off the edge of the tablet's screen, but it will zoom in to fit the edges of the TV's screen, if you see what I mean. You will also find playback under 4.2 much smoother, whereas now you may experience micro stutters as though the movie is dropping frames or running at less than 24fps. If you search for Tegra Note Connectivity you'll find a thread I made with more info. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566828
Sadly 4.3 and 4.4 broke this rather cool zooming feature.
