so i got a micro hdmi and hooked it up to my sony bravo that does 1080p, Seems when i connect the display shows 720p which is correct of course, but i'm getting edges of the zoom display on the tv cut off a bit, this a over scan issue.
Everything looks great just the seems like edges are getting cut off.

Just change the picture size on your tv. Thats what I did and everything is fine.

Ok so Im pretty sure 99% of you will not be able to help me because I believe I have a specific problem with my television. I have a Panasonic TC-P46S2 46 inch plasma and have been struggling with MHL.
When I plug in the adapter, not only does it not properly fit on the screen, I get random gray fuzziness every once in a while. So as far as the fit of the screen, I have tried every option that I can on the TV to get it correct; eg: Stretch, zoom, full, h-fill. Nothing corrects it and my screen in every direction is cut off by a few inches. This is a 1080P TV but should be able to display a 720P image perfectly. I am using a PNY MHL adapter.
The only thing I can think of is that the galaxy screen is not exactly a 720P resolution and the TV can not correct for it. Any ideas? Any ideas on the random gray fuzziness disconnects as well?
Did you try the phone and connector on another tv? Or another connector onto the same tv?

I have a monoprice adapter coming but don't have another HDMI source to check the phone and adapter with. If the new adapter does th same thing I'll assume its the TV. Unless someone offers some other advice.
Hey all , just playing around with my One x through MHL and noticed its only outputting at 640x480 @60hz !
It should be 1280x720 at least.
Ive checked on a few screens around my home.
I have this Adapter http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007K8NN9U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
Anyone else have similar issues?
I wants Full HD's
There should be something wrong either with your MHL adapter or your software, its working pretty well with my ONE X and im getting 720p with no prob...
which adapter do you use ? I might just get a new one!
I use samsung Micro usb to MHL i used to use it with the galaxy note and S2
My girl friends sensation fills my 42" 1080p screen perfectly while outputting via MHL but my ONE X has borders the whole way round. It also does this on a smaller 720p screen.
Guessing its a Tegra issue.

Are you using a HDMI-to-DVI adapter by any chance? During connection handshaking, the phone queries the external display for 1280x720 60Hz, if not found, it will drop down to 640x480. You can use MonInfo the check your televisions's EDID info:

The CE mode IDs are what are being scanned, and you need to be talking to an HDMI port for this.

This is a known problem with One X unfortunately. It's shrinking the output image if the display has overscan modes, rather, it should be checking if the display has underscan modes and output 1:1 by default. I've submitted this issue as a bug to HTC, and am still awaiting a reply from engineering.
I don't believe this is a problem with Tegra, because the Transformer Prime will display full screen when the HDTV is configured for 1:1.
Ah thanks for the info. I'll will also mention this to them. Hope a fix comes out as its a PITA.
I'm also noticing that the image is broken up in to lots of mini squares when playing MKV. Perhaps this is MK player rather then MHL adapter. Anyone else noticed this?
The small squares look like bad image scaling , there almost overlapped. Circles look jagged etc
1) How do i fix the borders cut off in landscape mode when connected to TV?? If u look at youtube videos every user regardless of TVs have the screen bit cut off even thou phone's resolution is 16:9 720p?
2) Why does it display in 1080p not 720p (screen on galaxy s3 is 720p)? (my laptop using same hdmi cable without adaptor shows as 720p on TV) id like to be able to adjust it
3) My galaxy s3 heats up to 55 Celsius when playing with the phone and mirroring games. Is this normal? (although my alienware laptop heats up same also when connected to TV)
4) There is a abit of a lag between TV and a phone, the phone also seems to lag more when connected to TV (my laptop doesnt experience this)

Hey,
1) I have a Samsung TV and on my remote there's a button labeled 'P.SIZE', i'm guessing that stands for picture size. I keep pressing that button until 'Just Scan' appears on my TV, this adjusts the borders accordingly, basically, doesn't cut them off. I tried the exact same thing on a Philips TV and it didn't have 'Just Scan', the best i could do there is have the borders cut off but only by a little bit.
2) I'm not sure about this one but it's my understanding that, if your TV supports 1080p then the phone upscales to that resolution and if your TV only supports 720p then it displays at 720p. I think most of us would like to be able to adjust it
3) I think this is normal seeing as your phone is displaying it's screen...twice and in 1080p...while playing CPU/GPU intensive games + while on charger. (Yea, i'm not sure it's fair to compare a laptop with the S3 in that context)
4) I read some info on what could possibly be causing the lag...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799157...They discuss how, when the S3 is connected to a 1080p TV, the S3 then displays the picture in 1080p at 24hz which apparently is good enough for videos but not for games. Whereas if you connect the S3 to a 720p TV it displays the picture in 720p at 60hz which apparently makes it less laggy. (Once again i don't think comparing an Alienware laptop with the S3 is just)
I'm using the official Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter that I bought direct from samsung.com due to all of the fakes out there. My main issue I've seen is with Netflix but I'm sure it happens all over. I'm using this on an older 720P TV but the screen does not fit exactly. The outputted picture is a little larger than the TV's display so it cuts off a little on the sides. It is not completely unwatchable by any means but still sort of aggrivating. I don't know how to change the size of the picture being output. DPI change? I don't know what size to make the DPI for a more appropriate 720P picture.
Has anyone else had any issues with anything like this? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This is probably just overscan which is normal for a TV (as opposed to a Monitor). It has to do with the fact that old signals/tvs were not completely reliable so they just snipped a bit off the edges to compensate. Roughly... Wikipedia has an article about it.
In my experience there is no easy fix. I've found that no matter what I do I either end up with a black ribbon around the edge or I lose some picture to overscan.

Solution. Get a 1080p TV. Haha. But seriously, you tried all picture settings on TV? If that doesn't work then more than likely you will have to live with it. I dont think DPI changes will fix it. And how the heck did you score a mhl2.0. I've had one in my cart for two months and it is still backordered. Ugh.

Lol your answer is more heart breaking than you can imagine. I have a glorious 60" 1080p panel that is in storage right now because I'm having some work done in the house so I'm using my old backup TV. But....I picked up the adapter right from Samsung for 20$ with their coupon from my note 3 purchase. I will try it on a 1080p eventually I was just curious if anyone had any ideas. Thanks for your input and I hope you get yours soon!
Hello everyone,
I watch movies in the bark yard on the big 120 inch screen using my Note 20 Ultra 5G phone connected to a Optoma HD143X Projector using the USB C to HDMI Cable.
The colors tend to come in overly saturated, the darks are dominates on the projector screen.
This is not an issue when I am viewing DVDs or Blue-ray off the Sony UBP-X700
When I look at the Phone screen, the images are sharp & clear, perfect DVD / Blu-ray quality.
Why do you suppose that there is a difference in image quality with viewing movies with the USB C to HDMI Cable ?
Has anyone else had this type of issue & if so, what is the workaround?
Video enhancer was enabled, but that probably only works on the phone screen, not the TV or Projector's screen

Try turning off video enhancer under settings --> advanced features
Thanks digitaljeff, I will give it a shot next movie night & will chime in once this has been achieved and give you some feedback!
If you need a work around, use a device that accepts dlna protocol and send it wiressly from phone. Best quality
