How often do you use the HDMI port for video out?

[Darth Mo]

In lieu of HTC acknowledging the software is capping the framerate, how import is it?

Pretty straightforward poll.

You should add one more choice:

Never have, but if I had a cable I would still not use that often.

That's covered by the first choice pretty much.

Never have, probably never will.

so much as a touted feature by HTC/Sprint. You guys should be using it. It's like if they had a third camera on the back of the bottom for 3D pictures but no one uses it.

Not really. I don't have a cable, so I have no idea how much I would use it.

 

[r-nice]

I would love to try it out if I had a cable.

 

[pwnst_r]

Considering the high fail rate of it even working properly, I've not bothered. I've yet to see a reason for me to use it.

 

[wormdood]

Never and my TV is HD, but pre-HDMI. Probably will never use it.

I have a cable and even if it worked fantastically I probably wouldn't use it except to see how it worked or in a very rare situation.

That's a different situation than what the other poster suggested.

Not very often, used it twice since I've had the phone, actually four times but 2 of the TVs it wouldn't work on. Plus I wanted to use it mostly to view videos recorded with the phone but with the crappy codec it's not worth using.

It's okay, but the videos that the phone can keep up with only look so-so when blown up on a big-screen tv. And RockPlayer won't output to HDMI, so it's a nuisance to convert videos for the stock player. Still, beats the heck outa the analog video out on earlier phones like the TP2.

I use it fairly often, youtube and hulu mostly. Those look only fair. Vids I have taken with the phone absolutely suck. The 30fps cap is obvious with the choppy crud it puts out from a phone taken vid. Still pics look good though.

My feelings exactly.

 

[Mr. Evo himself]

Does anybody know if they sell this in the shack?

 

[storino03]

hulu doesn't work so i don't know what you're talking about

I think HTC should have included this in the phone packaging.

I also think, the HDMI dock should have been out by now.

my buddy has a 55" Samsung LED TV. i took some 720p video with my EVO and played it on his TV via the TV's USB port via a microSD card adapter. the TV has a built in Media Player.

why am i telling you this? because you may not necessarily need a micro HDMI cable if you have a TV with above features.
