Has anyone tried 1080p MHL output on the Tab Pro? (T520). I have an unofficial MHL adapter but I'm only able to get 720p output. Don't know if the problem is the adapter or some other thing. I cannot find any output setting in the menu neither. (running stock)
Yes the official Samsung MHL adapter can do 1080p @ 60fps most knockoffs will only do [email protected] or rarely [email protected] claim they can do 60 fps who knows..
I think wifi display is much better though

Is it possible to force the Note II to output 720p @60Hz via the official MHL adapter?
when ever i try and output my note 2 to my tv via the MHL adapter, it only ever goes 1080i, never 1080p. Is there a way i can force it to go 1080p?
I have tried 3 different adapters so far, and none of them did 1080p off my Note 10.1 2014, they only worked in 720p mode.. They did however provide 1080p off my Note 2 (N7000).
Can anyone tell me a good adapter (preferably one that you have tried or currently own) that does 1080p?
Hm weird my adapter does 1080p but only at 25hz. I thought it is a software problem. We just need an app or settings to configure the hdmi out...
I was using a "adapter cable" (yes, it's adapter and cable, combined into ONE)
flashing to earliest stock rom(just because I think samsung may remove this EXTRA function at later roms)
finally succeed in having the screen shown on tv/monitor
but problem comes....it's 720p!
I did connect the adapter cable directly into the monitor/tv
but still only can get 720p(p60)
if I just plug into the hdmi switch(very cheap one), I can even only get 480p
what's wrong?

I think the official MHL adapter supports 1080p @ 60Hz usually the cheap Chinese (and official looking knockoffs) only support 1080 @ 30hz - some tv's don't support that.
The question:
Does anyone know how to get the Tab S to output its native 2k display to a 2k+ monitor?
The background:
I use the Tab S to RDP to a an AWS cloud server effectively giving me an extremely powerful Windows laptop and Android tablet combined. I have an RDP app on the tablet that gives me the native 2k resolution of the tablet which I can then divide into quarters using Actual Multiple Monitors. This effectively gives me a 2x2 array of 1280x800 monitors. The only downside is that the text is tiny! As a result, I'm trying to get the Tab S to output its native resolution (2k) to my new 4k monitor. I tried to output this using the MHL 3.0 adapter sold by Samsung, but it only outputs at 1920x1080 through the MHL 3.0 adapter. I suspect that the Tab S has MHL 2.0 installed but not MHL 3.0.
I'm currently looking at using DiamondMM's BVU5500 adapter. Their website says it works with Android devices running Android 5.0 and higher. Their website then directs purchasers to the DisplayLink app in the Google Play store. I noticed that the DisplayLink app says that it only supports resolution up to 1920x1080. I've emailed them to see if that's still the limitation. Amazingly, they are able to convert 4k through a USB v2 using adaptive software. Annoyingly, it seems like it works for Windows/Macs at 4k but only 1080p for tablets.
If I can get this working, I never have to buy another laptop again as my cloud server will provide the processing power while the tablet is just a dumb terminal with great video. Wifi is generally fast enough (especially over my 4G iPhone hotspot) that the lag is not noticeable.
Specs:
Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T800) running Android 5.02 with root access
Monitor: Samsung U28E590D (28-inch 4k LED monitor 3840x2160, UHD, 1ms)
Tried: Samsung MHL 3.0 to HDMI adaptor EE-HN910
Looking at: DiamondMM's BVU5500 adapter which is based on DisplayLink's DL-5000 chipset
