Been wondering about this. Let's say I'm deciding between the Nexus 10 and the transformer infinity. Would 1080p video (or any video for that matter) look better on this 2560x1600 screen or the 1920x1080 screen of the infinity?

If it's only about 1080p, it would look better depending on the technology implemented on each screen, how the colours balance work and etc... Not because of the resolution, since we are talking about 1080p, and both of them support it.

The issue here is because any video would need to be upscaled on the Nexus 10. If viewed at the video's original resolution, it would not fill the Nexus 10's screen. I'm just wondering how it would look here.
Well of course that depends on the resolution that the video playback is formatted in. If you have a video equal to the Nexus 10 resolution than it will look better on the Nexus than any other device. Its all relative.

That 1080p video will always look better on a 1080p screen. Putting a 1080p video on a 1600p screen will cause upscaling that will always be inferior native outputting.

Indeed. I'm finding 720p high bitrate videos look great on the Nexus 10 perhaps better than 1080p. Likely because 2560x1600 is a multiple of 1280x720.

Yeah. Stretching a 720p video would just be substituted into 4 pixels. It makes sense.
I thought the infinity was 1920 x 1200.

Search for TimeScapes 4k 2560p and you can download the trailer. It plays smoothly and looks amazing on the Nexus 10.
Raw video from the 5D MKIII has a slight stutter but after it's processed it looks fantastic.
1080p movies look absolutely phenomenal
As long as the Quality (ability of producing right saturated and bright colors) & Resolution of the screen is greater then the image then it is fine. If the image details or resolution is greater than the screen then it is a waste of memory for that data. So 1080p video would look the same for any screen which has equal or greater resolution than 1080p. But if you play a 1080p video on a 720p screen thats a waste of quality and Megabytes.
So comparing a 1080p video on 1080p and 1600p screen (considering they have the same pysical size which is 10" in this case) would not make any difference on quality side. The difference should be revealed by comparing the color saturation, refresh rate, pixel arrengement, gap between pixels, reflection of the screen glass etc. Basicly the general screen quality and technology.

Hey i'm a noob here and i have a question
Is there any way to enable 1080p on my iconia so i can watch full hd movies like all the other honeycomb tablets out there? I have now flashed the virtuous picasso v1.0.8 rom and i noticed that i still can't watch 1080p videos on youtube. So my question is if there is any rom or kernel that can enable 1080p video playback?
Advanced thanks
you may try to use stock rom 4.010.22 or above which can automatically switch to 1080p output while playing 1080p video.

Are you talking about HDMI out? If Yes, then there are ROMs that can output 1080p trough HDMI. If you are talking about 1080p playback on the device itself then NO! There is NO Honeycomb tablet (yet) that can do 1080p in Adobe flash (youtube and others)
1080p
movies is lagging at 1080p this is killing me.
I am on the ota 3.1
If you're watching on the tablet itself, there's no point in watching 1080p. The screen only has 800px vertical pixels (landscape). Just use 720p on the tab. If going out to HDMI, are you getting lag?

There is still NO Hardware acceleration (for video) in Honeycomb so ALL of the Honeycomb tablets have this issue! ONLY MP4 Codec (h.264 Base) is supported and any other file format will use software rendering (slow choppy)!! Honeycomb is still an incomplete OS.
Oh and if someone is wondering why his/hers Android smartphone plays video better, the answer is simple: Most manufacturers enhance codec support on their devices(Samsung the most) and Android 2.2/2.3 is more polished OS with a lot of support! Another problem is that nVidia have still not made a driver for honeycomb that takes advantage of the hardware decoder in Tegra2
Example: My 7" Samsung Galaxy TAB although with only a single core CPU can play ANY 1080p I have thrown at it! But it is running Android 2.3.4
but samsung tabs does it, doesn't it ?

Nope! NO Honeycomb Tablet can display properly 1080p (other than MP4 h.264 Base) video!
Oh yes sorry, I've just reached the friend of mine that told me, he has indeed a galaxy tab but with gingerbread !
thanks for the info

UPDATE: Please close this thread, theos0o has created a modded youtube apk that allows playing HD with any DPI! Get it here
-----------------------------------------------
http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/02/youtube-android-app-update-brings-hd-video-streaming-to-capable/
Need!
I went to Galaxy Note forums, they dumped the apk that allowed them to do that. Unfortunately, it's the same 2.4.4 YouTube, and I didn't notice any difference. No HQ option, only HD (how the hell is 480p "HD", I will never know).
So I'm assuming there's a screen rez or phone model number check that doesn't allow 720p streaming in the app.
I'm hoping our brilliant devs can come up with a tweak to allow for HD streaming on SGSII.
P.S: if you think there's no difference between 480p and 720p on SGSII screen - oh boy, have you been missing out, son.
P.P.S: I'm not an idiot. Before you down-vote the thread, actually get off your lazy ass and see the difference between 480p and 720p video on SGS2.
UPDATE: If you're running Youtube app v2.4.4 (GB) or 3.x (ICS), set your DPI in build.prop to 182 and you'll have 720p video in youtube =)
Calling on devs to make a hack for the app to make it always think you're running high-dpi, without the need to change it there.. That'd be awesome!
Do you feel that there is a perceivable difference between 800/854*480 and 1280/720 on our S2?

Yes, there is a very, very significant difference.
Watch any of the Starcraft II commentaries in 480p then try it in 720p. You'll just how much better it is.
I think it has to do with subpixels, pixels on samoled just don't traslate the same as on a regular lcd screen, I think. Whatever the reason, there's a huge difference.
Im on 182dpi rom and it seems that my youtube videos are in 720p... Tried in browser 480p and it is much more pixelated than hd option in youtube app... In the app the hd option is awesome...

I just set 182 DPI in build.prop and I got HD option!! Yay!! Looks awesome.
If only someone would hack it into always allowing for HD video, without the need to run high DPI settings..
Im on vertrema 4.8... I do it with dpi changer from market... Sometimes is necessary to wipe market settings to make it recognise the changed dpi...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
The difference probably has more to do with the higher bitrate and less compression that youtube applies to 720p videos compared to 480p ones than with the resolution, since a widescreen 480p video at 852x480 is already larger than the dimensions of the SGS2 screen. The SGS2 has a normal RGB subpixel layout and even if it did have a pentile matrix or anything else, the picture would still get sent to the screen in its nominal resolution of 800x480.
That said, I can certainly believe that a 720p version would look better and is worth trying.
Yeah, I'm not entirely certain why 720p looks better than 480p, maybe because the down-sampling that youtube makes is worse than when the video is down-sampled by SGSII on-the-fly. Better algorithms, perhaps.
Whatever the case, I'm happy now =) I just hope someone hacks the app so that it reports high-DPI even when build.prop has 240 or whatever.
I Update the YouTube APP and don't play videos in HD, only on HQ, the SGSII doesn't support HD?

@theos0o, I have been using your Modded Youtube 3.5.5 on my CM9(ICS) Rom and it works. I get to see videos in HD(720p). Thanks for the great youtube mod.
Note: If any one is using CM9 nightlies Rom then the latest version of the gapps does not have the youtube app. Just download the modded youtube app from the above link and install it. If you had installed the youtube app from the play store then just simply remove it and install this one.

What is the best scaled down resolution for non HD movies on that will not have black bars? Thanks for help!

it would be 720p
since the 80 pixels at the bottom are used for the tablet menu bar.
thus you get a content area of 720p.

Since you are manually transcoding them, use 640x360 for widescreen and 640x480 for fullscreen. This will get you standard definition movies.

Good rec and dont just look at resolution also look at bit rate. Higher bit rates mean better quality but larger file size. I typically am ok with 640x360 at 1.5 mbps bitrate
