[Q] HDMI Output Resolution

Hey All, I looked for my answer elsewhere on this board but couldn't find the answer.
I am trying to set my Xoom up at work with a Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse and output the screen to my monitor. To simulate my current work environment. The monitor I have only has VGA or DVI inputs. The cable I have is Micro HDMI - HDMI. So I bought an HDMI - DVI converter. When I output to the monitor, the monitor resolution will not match the Xoom so I don't get the entire screen. I have to scroll up or down to get the entire screen. I verified that the monitor supports 1280 x 800 but for some reason when I plug the Xoom in it goes to 1280 x 720 (720P?). I am guessing somehow I need the monitor to be 1280x800 so it matches the Xoom? I don't see a manual configuration on the monitor to change that. It seems to auto-ajust depending on what is plugged in. So I guess my question is; Is the issue with the HDMI-DVI converter or is the issue the monitor? This is very problematic because I need to Remote Desktop into servers and/or workstations as a proof of concept.

The Xoom will chop off the bottom 80 pixels to get 1280x720 (native 720p resolution)

Yeah, I understand that (I assume the bottom 80 pixels are the task bar and such for android). That isn't quiet the issue. I think it is something to do with Pocketcloud application that I am using to RDP. When I set my PC resolution to 1280 x 720 and VNC into my machine the resolution is just fine (setting Pocketcloud to "Automatic Resolution". Doing the same for RDP it defaults to 1280x756 for some reason).

i want to say that 1280*800 and 1280*720 is similar with our eyes. so i think u don't need to care about such a litte gap.

SGS Screencast high fps

Hello, I need to make a presentation with my SGS, I'd need to show an application that have a screen refreshing every 0.5 seconds so I need the way for showing the screen with high fps. I have tried a lot of apps for remote control android remote control but all have low fps (1-5).
I also considered TV output, but I dont know if there's a way of connecting a 3.5 rca to my laptop (it have mini firewire, s-video, usb and vga slots)
Any ideas? Thanks!

I’m not sure if there are any apps that allow 5FPS or faster screen cast. If you want to use the TV out then you need to use a video capture device like this. Can't you use the SDK emulator to demonstrate your app??

Thanks for your fast answer.
I cant use the emulator cause I need to have access to the real gps (for location), wifi (for indoor location with wifi trilateration), bluetooth (for connecting 2 sensors) and internet connection for send some data =(

A screen refreshing every 0.5 second = 2 FPS (Frames Per Second)
TV-out PAL = 25 FPS, NTSC = 23.667 FPS

Check your tv manual. Some tv have limitation on inputs and/or modes. For example: mine requires to be switched to pc mode to accept higher refresh rate.

how to connect moto x play to external monitor?

I am unable to find any way to connect my moto x play to an external monitor. Is there any micro usb to VGA adapter available in the market that works perfectly for moto x play?

I use a chromecast hdmi stick.Works nice and it also supports screen mirroring.The device doesn't support a cable connection (mhl,slimport).

[email protected] Thanks for your response. I have few more doubts related to it, will be glad if you can provide further details:
1. when you say screen mirroring, does that mean casting of media only( games, video, chromecast supported apps) or the complete mirroring of screen( as in case of miracast)?
2. How long the X play battery will last if I continuously cast my screen to external monitor without plug-in it to charger? or if you have observed the % consumption of battery for any specific time duration?
3. X play has slower wifi speed, how much lagging have you felt in video/audio transmission?

I use cast with my Samsung 55inch

FireStick 4k won´t display WQHD on Monitor

Hi Guys,
i own a 2K-Monitor (ViewSonic VX3211-2K-MHD) which i want to use to stream YouTube, Netflix & Co.
Therefore today i bought a 4k Firestick - connected it without the flexible adapter (straight into HDMI) and installed all available updates.
Unfortunately i had to recognize that the max resolution i can choose is 1920x1080, also when i enter the Monitor-Menu it shows me the actual resolution, which is also 1920x1080.
Ive read a lot about this topic and the only reason for it - i guess so - is the well known HDMI Version-Thing.
My Monitor has HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 and HDCP 1.4 on board.
Now ive questions about this and hope you guys can give me a hint to solve my problem:
- Some users reported, that they had the same issue (max. 1920x1080 on a 2k tv/monitor) and solved it with an HDMI>DisplayPort Adapter, cause HDMI (or the specific HDMI-Version) was limiting to 1920x1080 and in some cases the DisplayPort had a newer Version.
In my case the DisplayPort has the version 1.2 which i fear would also limit the 4k FireStick. Does it make sense to try this adapter?
Can you confirm that my HDMI Version is limiting?
(EDIT: I connected my Computer/GTX970Phantom on it and WQHD worked without Problems - so why is the FireStick limiting?)
Can you refer a setup to get 2k running on my monitor for my (streaming) goals?
Can be software sided if it makes sense (rooting, etc.) or Hardware sided (Change the FireStick against other "Media-Boxes" or Hardware.)
Thank you,
E
