Questions for the existing owners of the Tab (Slingplayer/output connections)

---

Hi guys,


I'm considering moving from the iPad to the Tab, but first I would like to get some extra info:

Any of you have the slingplayer app installed on the Tab? If so, how does it behave? Is the image quality good?

Also, have any of you connected the Tab to an external display? Again, if so, how good is the quality of the image on the external display?

Anyone know whats the max output resolution on external displays?

What kind of connections can we use? 3.5mm like the galaxy.s, HDMI dock?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Dont know about slingplayer. We dont have it here.

There is no official HDMI dock out at the moment, but there is a samsung cable ending in composite, which has a max resolution of 480i or 576i on most tvs.

The ad i saw suggested the cable was indeed sound-only. Google galaxy tab tv out.

It has. Look at the original line up.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm just wondering how the HDMI dock will work. If it's a mirror image from the screen, or if it will be only active for some apps (like the output connect on the iPad)

Well, it says on the side of the box that it is certified for FullHD 1080p video playback. As this is impossible on a 1024x600 screen, I'd have to assume that's through the HDMI dock. The Tab doesn't even break a sweat playing HD movies fullscreen on the internal screen, so I'm guessing there's plenty of processing ooomph to do it externally.

Slingplayer-app works perfectly. Absolute killer-app, 7" is the perfect size to watch TV. It is landscape only, though.

IS the playback smooth and with good resolution like if you use slingplayer on the computer?

Yes, no lag, totally comparable quality as with a laptop.
