Hey, guys. I just ordered the "official" Samsung MHL 2.0 cable for my S4. However, on my 65" Panasonic VT50, the output is slightly larger than the TV screen, meaning part of the display is cut off on all 4 sides.
I tried every picture scaling setting available on my TV (4:3, Full, Auto, etc.), and I don't have a scaling option that fits the output to the screen. Is there anything I might have missed? Maybe an Android setting or something?
Any ideas?
Anything at all?

I hooked up my Transformer to my LCD TV. The TV is full 1080p.
I noticed that a sizable area around the edge of the display is clipped off. For example I cannot see the status bar on the TV, but it is still there on the transformer screen as well.
I was wondering is anyone else having this problem? or even better a solution?
Thanks
It does this because the display on the transformer is 1280x800, so it cuts the display down to 1280x720 (720P). This way it displays full screen on the tv what your trying to watch.
Is there anyway to have the transformer output to 1280x800? I also do not like how the output appears zoomed.

first check so the TV shows 1:1 pixel ratio/full pixel and not "normal". My TV cuts of the hdmi signal somewhat, even with computers attached, call it overscan if you like, unless i choose "full pixel" (sonys name for it).
So try hunting in your settings on the TV. When i tried on my TV i didnt loose anything but the statusbar is not shown on tv, i guess thats not realy important as it is the video/app you want to see and they are not aware of the statusbar anyway.
Great!! Thanks a couple of things to try.
hmmm
I thought that hiding the bar was a feature!
I have this issue also. It not only cuts off the bottom bar but both sides are croped a little. I have tried the HDMI out on 3 different TV's and they all show the same croped effect. This is weird to me because my laptop displays 720p or 1080p perfectly on the same TV's Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
Using my Acer A500 whenever I connect it using the Micro HDMI it does appear on the screen but it seems to have part of the screen cut off. The status bar on the bottom of the screen and then about the same space on the top and sides.
Is there anything you can get for a root ICS tablet to change the output?
Could it be the cable I am using a 10ft cable?
Or this just what it looks like does the whole screen just never fit.
The TV is a 37 inch HD ready Beko
It outputs at 720p. Does your TV support that resolution?? I have had none of the problems your describing while using the HDMI out.

It does support it as my Xbox output is 720p and when the tablet is connected it says on the tv its output is 720P 60HZ.
any other ideas?
I have the same issue butnot with my TV. My TV will show the entire screen but when I plug into a projector it cuts off part of the screen. I would not think the HDMI out is device dependent but it is certainly looking like it.
Not sure if you checked this, but this happened to me yesterday. What had happened was that the zooming on the TV was causing the problem. It was on 16:9, and cut off some parts. Went through the zooming options until I found one that showed the entire screen (can't remember what it was called).

on a,LG,phillips its original zise a samsung: full screen
Im having the same issue as well, 37" Panasonic LCD. Its fully capable of 1080p as well as 720. I remember connecting my motorola atrix and droid bionic to the TV and both those phones have an HDMI setting --> Overscan setting that you adjust using a slider. With those 2 phones however they problem wasn't the screen getting cut off, it was too small, and adjusting the overscan as high as it could go made the output from the phone fit the tv PERFECTLY.
In our instance, we would need that same overscan slider, and to turn it down. BTW: that setting on the phone was set in the middle by default (say at 50%), so the phone would need it adjusted to 100%, where as our tablet would need it at 0 or near zero...
Hi, I just bought the Samsung HDTV Adapter. The main reason I bought it is that I could see what the camera is watching while taking the photo or video. However, whenever I activate any camera app, there is a message on my Note's screen that "HDMI not available while application is running..."
Anybody knows the reason and how to fix it? Also, for unknown reason, approximately top 5% and bottom 5% of my Note's screen are not being displayed on my HDTV.For example, on the home screen, the top half of the time is not displayed.
For the second part - the Note's screen resolution is 1280x800 (16:10) which is a bit more than the usual 1280x720 mode (16:9) in HDTV. Your TV may have automatic adaptation of the picture turned on and is trying to fit the picture by cutting here and there.
I've yet to try using camera with the mhl adapter. Maybe later today.

OK, I've tried - same result as yours.
When I initially hooked up a Dex compatible USB-C to HDMI adapter for the first time to my 9+, I was greeted with screen scaling options in Dex. This was at home hooked up a 4k TV. I didnt have any need to change the scaling settings since it was full screen at default so I closed out of that.
I am now at work trying to use Dex on another HDTV device, and the scaling is off. All I would like to do is get the option for the scaling settings again. I cant seem to trigger that again after the initial use of Dex. Is there a way to trigger that to adjust the scaling on this other display?
Any assistance much appreciated.
I have a Samsung Q8F 55 inch TV that I have been using with a FS 4K and no problems. Just purchased a new FS 4K Max and the screen now has permanent light gray parallel/horizontal lines (approx. 1/16 inch apart from top to bottom. Have reset TV and FS, used alternate HDMI plug, used the FS with and without the extender. FS feels somewhat loose when plugged directly in HDMI port, extender feels slightly more secure. Neither feels as secure as previous 4K. No damage done to TV or any previous issues. Reordered a second 4K to see if the "Max" is the issue. Any thoughts based on experience with a similar issue? Thanks in advance
Hi there
Maybe switch from auto to the highest manual resolution in the fireTV display settings.
Then search in the TV settings for an option like 'just scan'
