So let me get this straight. A 640x480 resolution file doesn't look good on a large screen tv designed to display 1080p? What next? Are they goto blow up a 1 mega pixel photo to a poster and complain about quality?
Good thing I did not buy it for that, just another gimmick to try to sell more phones.
Um. I'm not sure HTC or Sprint should have to hand out directions on how to do reviews or use the features.. Again I think it is common sense to use an HD source if you want an HD output. I get where they are coming from in the sense that they want the HDMI output to send everything over in high def but come on..... Really? I stream 600x480 video to my 1080p set via my PS3 which is a much more powerful device and it looks ok.... It is pixelated and noisy.. Not much to do about that... I don't say the PS3 outputs crappy video via HDMI do I?My first response was to question many on this site who attack anyone who finds fault with the evo, but after a second reading of the article, I agree that they should have used a file at 720p. Why they didn't put a video on microsd at this level doesn't make sense, unless I missed something? The point about blowing up a 1 mg picture to poster size is right. it makes sense that youtube hq videos would work better. Try taking a video from itouch at mpeg4 and exporting it to the television through their expensive $45 cables which I took back by the way after I looked at the quality of the picture.
With that said, htc and sprint should have given some direction on this before they sent it out for review.

Your right, but if your selling a product with certain features that you are promoting, then their should be a line drawn from hardware to the utility of it, like using qik for the front facing camera. Someone realized that there would need to be an app to utilize it. Maybe a 720p short video given with the device that would work well with hdmi output.
