Has anyone else noticed if the picture produced by their Fire TV Stick looks dimmer than other streaming sticks and boxes? I have a Samsung BluRay player connected to the same TV. In general the picture looks dimmer on the FireTV stick.
I actually have the opposite the fire stick and ftv2 seem to confuse the my DCR settings and backlight on my lcd and amplify the white point rather than mute it. We should trade tvs :/ i hate all lcd tvs dont have multi user or smart presets (per input or day/night/time).
Mine is widespread and not just a xbmc or amazon video issue. But i suppose your fix is the reverse of mine and use your tv settings to calibrate your white point DCR/backlight (notoriously high on samsung).

Hi guys.
I am considering buying an A100 tab (at about 239€ now).
Can it be used also as a nettop? I plan to connect it to TV via HDMI and connect a bluetooth logitech mediaboard (keyboard + touchpad).
So my questions about A100 are:
1) can the screen be turned off when using HDMI connection? (I do not want to have screen light on)
2) what is the HDMI resolution?
3) Does it work with no problem with bluetooth keyboard and mouse? (I suppose it's only question of OS)
4) is the standard performance OK? (popular games as GTAIII etc.), video playback, browsing)
5) does anyone have experiences with the dock? What are the dock advantages over using a plain HDMI cable?
Thanks a lot in advance.
When connected to a TV via HDMI, if the screen is off on the tablet then the screen will also be off on the tv. Youtube videos will not play if the screen is off. Music (Pandora, iHeartRadio, etc) will play with the screen off. Connected to my TV, there is no letterboxing, it may be different on your TV. The very top and bottom of the tablet screen are cut off when displaying on my TV, due to the slightly different aspect ratios.
I've attached a picture of my tablet screen showing on my tv. My current wallpaper has a pixelated look to it, hence it will also look pixelated on the tv screen. I tested the output from the tablet to the tv screen using a Netflix video before and the picture quality was high, however I cannot recall my Netflix password at this time to take a picture and show you at this time.
Read the posts in the accessories section for info about bluetooth keyboards and mouses. Posts in the themes and apps section can give you more info about games. I play GTA III occasionally and have noticed no issue. I have no issues with the browser or watching videos, I use ICS Browser +.
Have you considered getting a netbook for what you are trying to accomplish? You can connect to the tv via hdmi, close the lid and still have a display on your tv screen.
Hi,
I got a lot of lags on my fire tv when I watched the huluplus. Someone told me to adjust the option 'qualitly' to lowest, but I can't find it. and meanwhile I have found it on my samsung smart tv. It works perfectly. Now I have to wire to my smart TV directly.
So how to find the settings on my fire tv?
1. when you get the lag and buffering to huluplus, what would you do? What kind of STB do you have?
2. Why does not hulu add a option for the account so that we adjust the quality for every device, just like Netflix did it.
thanks
I have my new (Oct 2015) Fire TV plugged directly into my television and the screen is constantly flickering/flashing white and sometimes cuts out altogether for a brief second. Clicking something on the remote stops the flickering for about 5-10s before it starts up again.
I've tried replacing the HDMI cable and adjusting the video resolution but the issue continues. I contacted Amazon and they very nicely sent me a new device, but I'm getting the exact same behavior with the new one.
Video playback is actually fine, unless I pause it - then it starts flickering again.
I've used other media players with the HDMI port on my TV and haven't had any issues at all. Is there something different about the output of the FireTV that my TV just doesn't like?
Any ideas?
Hey guys,
Every time I mirror my laptop screen (Windows 10) to my TV its just a little box in the top left corner of the TV screen. The mirroring works otherwise, but I can't figure out how to make it fullscreen on my TV. It's got to be a setting on the stick or something because when I exit the mirroring portion everything else displays fullscreen.
Anyone know of a solution?
Try adjusting your display to a 720p or 1080p resolution (which ever you TV has) in your display properties before initiating the the miracast connection.

Very cool app and I successfully installed from my Galaxy Note5 to my Amazon Fire Stick, but my remote doesn't function and the resolution on my Vizio TV is stretched and way out of proportion. I changed all of the screen settings on my TV remote but nothing changed. Any ideas? Thanks.
