so i was reading the box and in the back it says limited to 720p playback so 1080p wont play good what about the videos i record in 1080p
it's not that it won't play, it will play 1080p videos (unless it's a format that overtaxes the phone like .mkv) the manual says this mostly out of legality, the display is 720p, so while the software is perfectly capable the screen just doesn't have enough pixels to do so so you will be able to play 1080p videos but your eyes well be seeing 720

You can play videos recorded in 1080p on a TV or a computer...just not on the phone. The only phone that can at the moment is the Droid DNA.

Just ordered my HDMI cable and wanted to know is it possible to watch movies from the internet on my TV. Like hulu or megavideo? Idk if there r any hacks or custom rims I'm new sorry. And thanks
Anyone have an answer? Please
Works fine for me. Youtube and other movie sites that I frequent play through hdmi to my hdtv.
The image displayed on your tv will be the size that would he displayed on your evo so don't expect any kind of fullscreen display. The evo acts as the movie controls when using the hdmi video out.
Looks great on my 55 and 60, don't know jow it would look on something smaller.
Thanks. But your saying that its only gonna be like 5 in on the screen? Bc that's how big it would be on the evo..? Kinda confused

Yes that's exactly what I am saying. The screen resolution that would be displayed on the evo is what would be displayed on your tv. Slighty bigger of course on the tv but not fullscreen.

What ROM are you using that allows this functionality!??!
I believe Youtube should work, and so should any video that's played through the system's media player, but not the hulu app (The hulu app is just a tweaked browser). HDMI out doesn't show what's on your Evo's screen, it shows what's either playing through the built in system player (so RockPlayer, etc. doesn't show) or what the default slideshow app is showing.
Also, don't see why you can't fill your screen with the video. On all of my TVs, I can generally stretch out my videos to the extent of the screen's edges at about 720p.

I think you're confusing yourself. I never said the evo screen is displayed. The op asked about video being displayed through hdmi and I said it works fine for me.
As for not being fullscreen, the image passed from the evo through hdmi gets pixelated as it is. Do you really want to stretch that? I pass my hdmi cable through my denon receiver which does not upconvert hdmi signals....only analog. Even at that, stretching through my receiver or tv distorts the already pixelated image. But hey, if you want to stretch your images thats on you.

The Evo's screen resolution doesn't determine the resolution of the video being sent out through HDMI. That's determined by the resolution of the video file or stream itself. For instance, I play a lot of 720p videos from vimeo.com, and they appear to stream through the Evo and out the HDMI as their full 720p. And I'm 100% sure that 720p video files playing directly from the Evo go out as 720p through HDMI. I do that all the time and it looks great. Of course, a lot of stuff on youtube and other sites aren't very high resolution, or you may be served lower resolution versions since you're on a mobile platform. Those would look like crap if they were stretched to full screen on a big TV. But my point is, it's the video site, not the Evo or its screen size that determines it.

meaning the resolution of the video file on the evo screen when watching browser videos (such as youtube, vimeo, etc) would be displayed. I said don't expect fullscreen which pertained to MOST video sites (youtube as an example) that do not stream full 720p video all the time. If you are watching a true 720p file on the evo and output it through hdmi of course it will be fullscreen 720p. When watching youtube videos and you watch the sd versions it won't be fullscreen.
The op never asked about 720p videos in the first place only simply hdmi and browser videos. Like I said, most browser videos are not in full 720p. And if you have to stretch a file to fit a 720p screen it's not a native 720p.
I was answering the op staying within the bounds of his question but everyone else had to take it beyond what he asked. No where in the op's title or first post did he mention anything about 720p output through hdmi. The question was simply enough if hdmi worked for browser videos.

It's no big deal. People often say one thing when they mean another. I was just clarifying it so nobody else was inadvertently misinformed.

Understandable, which is why I stayed within the bounds of the ops question. While what I said was not misinformation, I probably could have worded it better. Either way, I do believe I made the points that pertained to the op's question clear.

The simple answer is it should since it would most likely play through the stock media player.
I use a modified stock rom and kings kernel so ymmv depending on the way you have your system setup. But if you are on a stock rom and a kernel that supports hdmi out you should be fine. I am work now so can't test megavideo but youtube, vimeo, etc. all play fine for me through hdmi.
Why are the videos on my Galaxy Nexus pixelated when watching HD videos on YouTube? I watch 720p videos and HQ is selected in the YouTube player and they are not crisp, they look bad.
How can I fix this?
Nobody has this issue??
depends on the video ur viewing....for example if u look at a 720-1080p music video it looks pretty good =)
but uhm.....theres no solution that i kno of using the youtube app, best way is always to dl high def and dump into ur phone
Havent noticed this issue. In fact its the opposite, watching 720p cideos look so excellent on this phone i cant stop using youtube.
If you watch a 240/320/480p video OP it is going to look like **** on any device, ESPECIALLY the higher resolution screen you play it on. Play Standard Definition video on an HDTV...and then play that same video on an SDTV and it will look better on the SDTV. When you play something of lower resolution on a high resolution display its going to look like a stretched out mess.
Play a 720p video on the Galaxy Nexus and you will be impressed.
This for example has a good resolution and should look great on the GNex. Try it...

Ok guys this is crazy.
I played the video on my channel on youtube with wifi on and the video looks bad and grainy with HQ selected in the youtube player (my video is a 720p HD video). I looked right now again a few hours later at the same video on wifi and now it looks sharp and nice. I didn't change anything....I don't know what happened but hopefully it stays this way.

I don't think SGW supports 1080p videos. I personally haven't tried yet, but downloading 720p and playing them on my phone works perfectly fine for me, thus I haven't tried the highest resolution. But I don't think our phone supports it.

OK, tried this with Dice Player!!!!
Downloaded 1080p with TubeMate.....very good App, allows You Tube d/l, at all resolutions from 1920 x 1080 [Galaxy Tab, PC] to all other.
No workee!!!

so Wonder does not support 1080p!!!!

I use Tubemate to download videos too! A very good app (though I'm having difficulties on playing videos from it).
Perhaps that's why Tubemate stated that the highest resolution video for mobile phones are only for high resolution devices. So perhaps SGW isn't one of them.

Erm... This problem goes down to the chipset. The MSM8255T was never designed to handle 1080p. Adreno 205 cannot handle encoding and decoding of 1080p video. This makes it totally impossible for hardware decoding. You can only do it by software decoding (Untick hardware decoding, I called it software decoding since I don't know what other term should I use). Yet, our processor is not powerful enough to do the software decoding. I tried with VPlayer, 1080p does play but with laggggggggggggging video, audio is fine though.
EXTRA: For your information, Samsung Exynos chipset used in Galaxy S/Nexus S (means the phone earlier than ours, perhaps also an older chipset than ours, never verified this though) with the SGX540 GPU is designed to handle 1080p en/decoding. I'm not sure whether it works in Galaxy S or Nexus S but it's possible since their hardware is designed for that.
I did the reading quite sometime ago because I found out P1000 (Old Galaxy Tab) can handle 1080p with similar chipset (as Galaxy S/Nexus S). Just to help out a little bit =)
@FutureGamerz: a very interesting explanation! You have my thanks for that.

Thanks for all your response guys, but it would be nice for some kind of trick to enable hardware decoding, some kind of force script to enable always hardware decoder.
As of December 19th 2013, what's a solution to watch youtube videos in 1080p on our s4 ? Every or mod i've tried can only play them in 720p? I've used many apps and mods, but they all only playback at 720p?

Thanks, but that mod doesn't work. I get "No 1080p stream found" , that is on clips that i have posted in 1080p on youtube. No videos will come out in 1080p , all 720p max. And that is with all the settings on, HD playback over wifi, 3G/4G hd playback , 1080p playback.
You sure that mod still plays 1080p even after the changes they made to 1080p streams on their site?

Ahh youre right. I forgot to tick my "1080p" option under advanced options. So far from what the guy who made that mod told me is that google broke it and its not fixable. Guess we shall just live with 720 lol
Hello can anyone else confirm that we can't watch 1080p videos at 60 fps it's like we don't get the option or is that a YouTube problem
