iPhone to TV connection

Question

iPhone to TV connection

Hi all, was wondering what experiences (both positive and negative) people have had with connecting their iPhone to the TV using the Apple component or composite cables and watching movies? Is the picture and sound clear? Does it make the iPhone run hot at all?

Thanks!

Hi Bud

Ive watched a few films on my 28inch TV picture was ok, I would not recomend going any larger that that though as I guess the pixels would start to break up a bit, But other than that worked fine. Really good.

As for getting hot never really noticed.

We have watched many movies on our 31" tv from our phones with good results. The quality isn't the best, but if your looking for HD you wouldn't be watching it from a phone.

Oh, and the phone didn't act any different from when we watch videos without the tv connected.

Can the resolution of the movie on the iPhone be higher to be viewed on a larger tv? Can the iPhone support a higher resolution movie and scale it down when being viewed on the iPhone?

No. If the video is stored on the iPhone, your tv will show it at whatever the stored resolution is.
