@Dashrender said in 10" HDMI 1080P displays:
So I'm going to have a 4K TV on the main output from the receiver, and a 1080p or less on the secondary one - does anyone thing this won't work when I'm watching 4K content? i.e. the secondary monitor won't work?
At the end of the day, you should just try it. Got a spare TV or Full-HD HDMI monitor?
@Dashrender said in 10" HDMI 1080P displays:
But the ability to force this type of change seems unlikely on AV equipment. So I'm wondering, does the AV equipment know what the receiving display is capable of outputting, or does it not care and just output whatever it's set to?
Both ends negotiate about protocols, codecs, resolution and so on. After this "handshaking" the sender will choose the best that was offered by the receiver. A good sender may allow you to choose a mode from a list. I'm not a Yammi fanboy, so I can't help with your receiver.

@Dashrender What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
my AV equipment is in a remote location to viewing area.
I want to put a monitor where the viewing equipment is so I can make changes, updates and see that the output is working without having to go back to the viewing room each time I make a change.
Don't you have a monitor out on your AV receiver?
HDMI splitter may also work
@KOOLER That's basically everything what I've learned about the current situation on hyperconvergence and VSAN's during the last couple of months. Really appreciate your introductory disclaimer. Just remembering one of your posts a couple of months ago over at SW where you said something like "Actually, I'm the sales prevention guy here at StarWind".
Anyway, thanks for your excellent writeup.
@Dashrender What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Thanks, will check that out later, but don't have the time right now to fiddle around with something new.
Well, at least it is working again 
Just wanted to let you know
Anyone knows a good Linux VNC client? Requirements:
Tried remmina, xtightvnc and a few others so far.
"This forum is temporarily unavailable due to excessive load."
@scottalanmiller: Had this for a few seconds. Just to let you know. Doesn't seem to be on the CF side, but on your host.
Right now: Building a system to stream the desktop from Raspberry Pi2 #1 to Pi2 #2 for a fair using VNC. Pi #2 will be attached to some large screen while Pi #1 does some presentation on the official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen. There will be a little distance (a few meters) between both.
Why no HDMI wireless repeater? You can render to both (DSI and HDMI) just fine, but not on X on a Pi AFAIK. There's just a single framebuffer [1, 2, 3, 4]. That's why I had to fetch a stream from the desktop Transfer via VNC over Ad-Hoc-Wifi or CAT 6a.
About your initial question: Embedded displays like those in some tablets. China is your friend here 
Maybe a car entertainment screen?
@Dashrender said in 10" HDMI 1080P displays:
Honestly I have no idea in the TV space.
When you hook up a 1366 x 768 monitor to a PC, the video card knows the resolution of the monitor and attempts to us only that.
I don't know if TVs work the same way or not. I want to make sure that my new TV will be displaying at it's best resolution possible, even if a lower res one is attached to the second output.
TVs and monitors store their possibile resolutions in a small IC and your PC will query this (keyword is EDID).
Anyway, most modern TVs and monitors support some form of upscaling, thus they are calculating the rest of the picture. If your screen doesn't support that, you can:
You could even DIY, but that requires some knowledge. What is the exact use case / purpose? Digital (HDMI) or analog source?

@momurda said in VM from ESXi to Xenserver:
Did you remove esxi tools from guest before export? This is important.
Migrating from VMWare to Hyper-V, I have never found this to be required. In fact, it causes more issues many times.
I typically remove the VMWare tools afterward.
Did the same (vSphere 5.5 -> Hyper-V 2012 R2), just remove them past-import.

To name a few... WiFi Sense, Telemetry, Cortana. The list is extensive though, so much that people developed programs and PowerShell scripts to disable the atrocities that were the "features".
Bitlocker keys sent to Microsoft.
Bitlocker enabled by default.
Any source?

I have no idea what happened prior to the uploading of the video. I leave this here for the community to give an opinion on the video above. Yes it is only on Facebook but you don't need an account to view.
Opinions?
Nana couldn't get to Facebook for 2 hours... And doesn't own a smart phone? The afternoon is absolutely ruined.
I know if my mom couldn't get to Facebook to see her grand kids she'd... Probably just give up on waiting and physically go and see them. Problem solved.
I still call my family on Sunday's... Then again I don't have Facebook anymore because of the crap my family thinks people want to hear about.
Too bad you're only able to upvote once.

We have made it to Chisinau, but are in a temp apartment until our real one is ready. We managed to get out and get everyone fed, though. Very tired. Hoping to sight see tomorrow.
Back to the future already? Thought you don't have Wifi/3G/4G/whatever? Stay offline, your wife and kids will most probably love it
