Apple 30-pin To HDMI cable for LCD gameplay?

[lettuce]

Has anyone use these ipad to hdmi cables to play TPA, so you can hock your ipad up to your 42" LCD TV???

Yes, artwork looks great but framerate lags with an ipad 3, might be better with a 4th gen ipad though as it's specs improved? Also might be better with an Apple TV?

Seems strange that it would lag as isnt the retina display a higher resolution than 1080p??

I have an ipad2 with official hdmi adapter and TPA lags when plugged into my TV. It lags on the TV AND on the ipad2's screen. Unplug it and the ipad plays silky smooth again. I wasted £40 on that adapter for TPA use, don't fall into the trap!!

Haven't tried via hdmi adapter but have tried through Apple TV and its unusable.

If you can disable the local screen in the game the tv output should be much smoother, this may be something Farsight need to enable as default support is a pseudo mirror of the local screen scaled to the lower resolution of the LCD display which lags behind.

Example of it working well is real racing or bee leader.
