This is really annoying. You can play a video using HDMI out to a TV and it plays full screen, as long as it is from Google movies. However if you try and play a video of your own it isn't full screen. It is missing about 3cm each side. I can't work out why or how to change it as it has the ability to. Any ideas?
Thanks

Does it downscale the image to 1080p when you are in the UI? If not it might be that whatever app you are using is not yet set up for the N10.

Yeah it cuts the side bits off. Only time you get full screen is via Google movie store

Right, that's really odd. Wonder why they wouldn't have system-wide downscaling?

Here we go... Let's see if this actually better than the Infinity. I returned it just to buy this. I use HDMI out a lot...

Let me know if you have any luck outputting full screen
Yup. Huge bars on the side and can't get rid of the bottom bar like the tf700 can. I hope this is fixed. However, I messed with my bravia TV a little it is much better now. I'll post pics.
does audio work?

There is a thread with 3 different people saying video works but not audio.

I'd also like to know.
I get sound, but both the sound and video stutter in Google play movies. Tried ice age and planet earth, both stuttered badly. Hoping this is just one of those things that will be fixed in an update.
I have had my Nexus 10 for about a week now and really like it. This YouTube issue is something that needs to be addressed. Ice Age plays full screen perfect 1080p smooth as silk. YouTube plays at lower quality in a black frame. It also plays on the tablet screen when plugged into HDMI to TV. Make the YouTube app perform like the Google Play app please
Any news on that?
I find that the youtube app won't go full screen when HDMI is plugged in, any solution?
I'm reading everywhere that ppl say it's not outputting fullscreen.
At the chance of being simply wrong: did you ever take into account that the usual TV with its 1080p resolution (1920x1080) has a 16:9 screen ratio but the tablet with its 2560x1600 resolution clearly has a 16:10 screen reatio.
So it simply does not match. If just mirroring what is seen on the tablet... it will always have those black bars on the TV screen.
Or am I just not understanding what everyone barks about?
The transformer it's also 16:10. It removes the bars and (no need for them on the TV) and voila. It also blanks the screen when watching videos. That's one area where the tramsformer is a lot better, but it's a simple fix. You know, I'm not picky but it really annoys ke that such a simple thing to fix has not been addressed. How can you test the HDMI and not notice that and at least give some basic options. That type of thing is inexcusable. Watch them never give us any options.

Thanked because I have the same issue. Anyone figured it out?

Is there anyone on 4.2.1 who can actually play Google play movies with hdmi out onto their TV?
Mine just stops at the "HDMI Screen" when I try to play the free ice age with a progress spinner in the middle, and other logs in logcat either that might explain the issue ( no logs at all). It's connected to my Samsung D8000 which is definitely HDCP compliant. I've never had it working. The film will play fine though when HDMI is not plugged in. It's really annoying cause I refuse to buy or rent films if I can't hook up to my TV.

I have no problem watching movies or TV shows with the Google Play Movies app, connected to a 46" Sharp TV. Audio & video are fine. There is the occasional stutter, but nothing too bad. I've only played shows off battery - I haven't tried it while charging yet, though I can't believe that would make a difference.

Just tried again on my TV and on my computer monitors, all are fully HDCP compliant. It's either the tablet or the cable cause it doesn't work with any of those screens, just stops at spinner on HDMI Screen every time.
Unfortunately I don't have another device or another cable to rule out which is not the cause.

HDMI output. The hdmi output on the nexus should output 1080p right? I only seem to be getting 720p but I was wondering if it was just my hdmi cable since it is old and came with a Motorola Atrix 2.

Hi from what I am reading the nx10 HDMI out is only mirror image that will not fill the HDTV format. Is this a hardware issue on nexus 10 end or can it be corrected in a software update..? I would actually buy and rent movies with Google play if I can watch them full screen on my TV.
If Google fixes this issue I see more people utilizing their movie service.
Till then I am using Microsoft Xbox.
Thanks...joe
When I connect my N10 to my plasma TV it reports 1080p which is the maximum this TV supports so I think it's device dependent based on the max of either the TV or tablet but given the resolution of the N10 the TV is likely to be the limit.

If you watch movies it does automatically fill the entire screen. It also switches to a slightly different mirroring mode where it doesn't technically mirror.
Games etc. don't fill the entire screen though. Neither does the launcher etc.
1080p
Also confirmed 1080p output to TV from my nexus 10, with a HDMI cable that is a few years old from when I picked up a droid charge a couple of years ago.

It will fill my entire screen, and has same behavior not mirroring during movie playback. Other apps like mx player mirror during playback. Launcher did when in landscape mode but not in portrait.

I am not sure why I dont get full screenI use a a cable that supports 1080P AND I have to use a hdmi switch because my tv only has 3 inputs and I needed a 4th. When I play the movie trailer in play store it does not widen the screen. I still have black bands on sides like I do when nexus mirrors image. My tv supports 1080p. Is a sony xbr2 40". A little old but if my bluray player is fine why not nexus.
Thanks..joe
This is what I am getting and hope there is some sort of fix

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

Doing some research on the micro-hdmi I came across some Info about the cable. Standard cable supports up to 720p/1080i, High-speed data micro-hdmi will support 1080p, 4k, 3d and high color. Source = http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-HDMI
I bought my Note 10.1 not long ago and after i played around a lot, rooted it and made it a german Note (it came from switzerland, no software updates available).
I thought, i can connect a mouse, a keyboard, USB drives .. but to get a video signal to my monitor, i would need the HDMI adapter for 18€ (which is much for a port that is native on most android tablets) which would block out USB devices OR i would buy the Allshare cast for 60€, which is wireless. I even planned to use it as windows alternative. Anyway, there are not much reviews about it that match my opinion after i used it for 15 minutes.
Out of the box, everything is great. I connect it to my 27" Asus PC screen (i was surprised they incuded a HDMI cable!), it starts by itself - huh, no separate switch to turn it off? No, there is not. It's always on. At least the LED doesn't shine as bright as the sun.
After that, i connected the Note 10.1 with it. I recorded for you what happens next:
Yup, that's right. Every Multiwindow availability disappears. From that point, it was almost certain i would send it back. But that's still not everything, i have ~15-20 FPS when scrolling through my homescreens and app drawer! Also there is ~0,1 - 0,2s of lag between the Note's screen and my Asus. I think videos work fine, i had only Simpsons on the Note and i can't really tell the FPS by that.
And the last part: The image quality is lousy. My 27" has only FullHD which is approximately half the DPI of the Note 10.1. But it has artefacts (it kind of compresses the colors i think; i tried to make pictures but you can't really see anything on it) which makes the image look so bad that i could instantly decide that i would send it back.
Probably i made someone the decision easier whether to buy it or not. I will buy the HDMI cable, have a look at the image quality and if it's worth it (and only then) i will keep it and probably buy a bluetooth keyboard + mouse so i can try again to use it as desktop replacement.

I use the AllShare Cast dongle a lot; especially when I'm traveling. It performs pretty well but the weaker the Wi-Fi connection the more latency is introduced. I have no problems using the web or watching videos on hotel TVs when I'm traveling with good performance about 90% of the time. I've used the HTC Media Link HD dongle which does the same thing the Samsung dongle does. There's far less latency between the device and the dongle on Samsung's solution, it's easier to connect, and the HTC dongle has no on or off switch either.
Yup, that's right. Every Multiwindow availability disappears.

AllShare Cast uses a lot of resources on the device. I'm guessing that's why they disabled multiview which also uses a lot of resources on the device.

Here are two clips of video playing via AllShare. The first is Hulu the second is YouTube. That means the device is downloading content via Wi-Fi and then projecting it out again via Wi-Fi to the dongle which is a lot more resource intensive than just playing local content. You’ll see the videos (both HD) play with no problem. I haven't had any issues (provided the Wi-Fi signal's decent) watching video from any number of sources. There's an update for the dongle in Play. Have you applied it?
Hmm, I also have the AllShare Cast dongle and I connect it with a Sony Bravia tv with excellent result, granted I limit its usage to playing locally stored video content but I have played some YouTube videos as well in HD mode with superb picture quality. I sit too far away from the tv to use it as an alternate screen but I suppose it might be possible.

Yes, the update is installed. i didn't mean to compare the dongle to the HTC one, it's just that for my expectations the dongle did really bad. For pure multimedia purpose it would be not as bad as i experienced (the helicopter demo video ran smoothly), but i couldn't do anything to get higher FPS in android. I could even neglect the lag and a BIT of the bad image quality.
If i would only want to watch videos on the TV streamed with the Note, the Allcast Dongle would do fine but then i could use the HDMI cable, too - a bit less comfy, but 40€ cheaper than the dongle.
The dongle however is a lot more convenient than a cable. You can walk around with your tablet or sit quite a distance from the screen.

I use xfinity tv now to watch TV shows and movies. It actually is better quality than streaming xfinity on my laptop. Is there any way (with or without wire) to clone what is on my phone to my Samsung smart tv? I know I can mirror my own pics and vids wirelessly but I don't know a way to mirror streaming movies on xfinity tv go. Thanks.

Chromecast will not work with the xfinity app. You need a mhl adapter.
Galaxy Note 3, HTC Rezound, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo, HTC Touch Pro 2, LG Voyager
Haven't tried it but it looks likes PLAiR2 stream Xfinity.
"Using a Chrome plugin (for the web browser version of Chrome) you'll be able to "beam" content from your smartphone, tablet, or notebook computer (or desktop computer, for that matter), from websites of all kinds."

Chromecast definitely does not stream web pages from mobile browsers, only from Desktop browsers. Maybe someday...
And with mhl to hdmi xfinity app will stream to tv? Will it be 1080i?

[PORT] Samsung Smart View App For All Android Devices - Makes You Enjoy Your Smart TV
Smart view mirrors tv on phone. I want to mirror streaming movie on phone to samsung smart tv.
Xfinity tv go is an app. You can't stream xfinity movies from browser.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
Oh well. Doesn't look like either of them work very well anyway.
I'm pretty content with just streaming Xfinity and everything else from my laptop virtual desktop I guess.
Although I have good Internet speed from xfinity their windows browser app stutters badly on my laptop and is virtually unwatchable on my tv. Ironically it is fine on the note 3 but I'd prefer to watch a 55 inch screen over a 5 inch screen

Laptops downsizing resolution to screen default
Sent from my SM-G900F using xda app-developers app
The OP is not complaining about anything! I really wish people would read the question and if they have nothing helpful to add then not bother replying!
The question was simple, the phone can happily play a 4k video on its 1080p screen (It is not a 4k screen!) However when MIRRORING the 4k video will not play. The screen being mirrored is a 1080p screen so as such the video being played (despite it being a 4k video) is also being shown on the phone at 1080p yet it will not play. You are mirroring the screen not streaming the video in its native resolution. My view would also be that it should just mirror the screen without issue.
Can you provide a little more info;
Are you definitely mirroring the screen? Can you see your Launcher, an actual copy of your phones screen? My guess is that you are probably just sending files over individually which will probably not work.
If you are definitely mirroring, are you doing so wirelessly or over a cable etc...
