[Q] Slim port output resolution - support 2560x1440 over display port?

Has anyone tried to hook their Nexus 4 up to a high resolution monitor with a slim port to display port adapter?
Can it output 2560x1440 or 2560x1600?
My Nexus 10 is only sending 720p to my 2560x1440 monitor over the micro HDMI port. I am hoping slim port works better. Analogix claims their chips support 5.4 Gbps lanes which ought to be enough for 2560x1440 24-bit color @ 60 Hz.
Thanks!

[Hardware Info] MHL on the HTC One

Many of us are eagerly awaiting to get their new HTC One and are excited about how HTC's beefiest phone ever will perform. Still in love with my faithful companion, my HD2, this finally is the phone that seems a proper successor. Connecting current gen phones to the TV to enjoy video, images and casual games on a big screen is a nice feature and certainly not missing on the new One. However, since implementations of how phones connect to TVs do vary between phone vendors, it is generally hard to find comprehensive information about that. So I walked the extra mile and tried to figure out where the new HTC One stands and what TV screen performance we can expect from that shiny device. As you can see in the pictures below, it seems that the HTC One does not really stand out from the crowd when it comes to MHL because it appears that it still uses the (older) first generation MHL chip by Silicon Image which caps it to 30Hz refresh rates and lower charging current. I thought (read: I was hoping) that HTC announced that the One will have MHL 2.0. Sammy's plastic brick #4 will have it.
The best image I could find so far (second attachment) shows the Silicon Image MHL transmitter chip at the One's logic board. (Image courtesy by ChipWorks http://www.chipworks.com/blog/recentteardowns/2013/03/28/inside-the-htc-one/)
Unfortunately the imprint is not clear and there is some glue left on it that makes it hard to read. To me, it reads as:
8244B0
PW?433B
OL2242
(Red represents clearly readable characters)
If you take that information (SiI*2*4) and compare it with the ICs that Silicon Image lists on its website, the only chip that matches the recognized characters is "SiI9244 - MHL 1.0 transmitter with HDMI input". That chip was already used in the HTC One X a year ago (see bottom picture), so no innovations here.
SiI9022 HDMI 1.4a transmitter with 24-bit RGB input
SiI9024 HDMI 1.4a transmitter with 24-bit RGB input and integrated HDCP support
SiI8558 MHL 2.0 transmitter with integrated 4-to-1 multi-media switch
SiI8246 MHL 2.0 Transmitter
SiI8240 MHL 2.0 transmitter with HDMI input
SiI9232 MHL 1.0 transmitter with RGB input and integrated HDCP support
SiI9244 MHL 1.0 transmitter with HDMI input
SiI8332 MHL 1.0 transmitter with MIPI DSI input, integrated HDCP support, and integrated switch
SiI8334 MHL 1.0 transmitter with HDMI input and integrated switch
SiI8336 MHL 1.0 transmitter with MIPI DSI input and integrated switch
SiI8338 MHL 1.0 transmitter with digital RGB input and integrated switch
SiI8352 MHL 1.0 transmitter with integrated HD scaler and digital RGB input
SiI8356 MHL 1.0 transmitter with integrated HD scaler and MIPI DSI input

For comparison, the same MHL transmitter chip in the HTC One X is shown in the attached picture #1.

If you look up the chip's specs, you will find out that it supports:
HDMI 1.3
MHL output resolution support - from 25 MHz – 75 MHz, up to [email protected] 24/30 Hz
Silicon Image announced the second generation MHL chips SiI8240, SiI8246 and SiI8558 back in May 2012. Their new features include faster charging (up to 900mA to 500mA on the MHL 1.0 chips), doubled output framerate, which is 60Hz @ 1080p and 3D formats. At least the former two would have been great to have on the new HTC One since it should have enough oomph to provide a full 1080p60 experience. With the older generation chip we are pretty much limited to 30Hz. Most TV sets may fall back to 24Hz or recognize it as 1080i mode. This will probably make things get slightly choppy and laggy if viewed on a TV screen. Bummer to me but not a deal breaker per say. I am curious how others think about that!
What is your experience with MHL? Want to share your experiences using 24/30Hz MHL on your previous MHL 1.0-enabled devices?

Thanks a lot for the clear cut info.

10bit HEVC HW decoding support?

Hello!
I'm wondering if the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite supports hardware decoding for 10bit HEVC video? I'm worried since the Samsung website doesn't explicitly say 10-bit, only HEVC.
Also, how would you say the screen compares to IPS paneled tablets? I heard it's definitely not as good as the more expensive AMOLEDs, but what about against IPS tablets (since they are at a similar price point)?
Thanks all!

2019 SHIELD TV Pros are also getting support for upscaling 60fps content

I am about to purchase a new 2019 Shield TV. I see with the latest 8.2 update just announced that the Pro model supports AI 4K upscalingto 60FPS. But not the standard TV model (not to 60FPS). I will only use for watching TV and Movies on either my 4K e-Shift JVC Home Cinema projector, or on a 60" UHD TV. Will not use for gaming. And I am not a sports fan. But I do like to know that I am watching Movies content in their finest quality. Especially when on the big screen with my projector. The Shield will not be used as a Media Server (Plex) so don't require the extra RAM or Storage that comes with the Pro model, or use for USB ports.
So question is - should I buy the Pro model ($100 extra in Australia)? Or will I not get the benefit of 60FPS upscaling (unless gaming) so save my money and stick with the standard TV model? Note: I am buying two, so the savings double!
I'm tried, but not working:
480i50 -> 2160p50 (Unsupported)
576i50 -> 2160p50 (Unsupported)
1080i50 -> 2160p50 (Unsupported)
