Samsung puts the Galaxy Tab S in a cab, films people's reactions to its AMOLED screen

She is gonna love it. I have the Pro 8.4, and thought that I would never get back to the 10.1 tabs anymore, but not untill I saw the S 10.1 and S 8.4 in a Samsung booth in a mall I was in today. The screen is the best as I ve ever seen, the tab is so light and thin, the back is so grippy, and the bronze trim looks nice.

Great point, iPad with Retina display has been here for over two years.

Yes, keep thinking there's nothing better than Retina...

There is not such thing , like 'Retina display'. Check it out

7. TheNeighbor (Posts: 337; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)

Yeah, you got that Retina thingy (smirk)... if you only know what that is, in terms of pixel count resolution against the competition. Honestly, know what you're using first.

did you see how she said amoled technology just like apple says retina display because people that know little to nothing in the tech or general world think that means its like your eye. and amoled is a new tech not really but still, this tab s 10 is the highest res screen in the world on tablets. and its like 2 of my gs3 phones in weight.

In theory amoled technology supersedes lcd. Emissive display > transmissive display
I also agree on the true blacks. However, in reality amoled is too saturated and not accurate enough because of poor calibration. If you're wondering yes i'm aware of the 4 screen modes Samsung provides but none is accurate enough. Now why accurate displays are important to the regular consumer? For instance when you shop online you want to have the most accurate representation of the product over punchy nice looking colours. In addition, amoled has serious issues like susceptibility to pixel burn-in and what's worse is uneven burn-in (blue pixel burns fastest) and such issue is intrinsic to oled technology, until further breakthrough.

In the reality people who keep blaming about " color accuracy" or "saturation" dont even bother to take a real experience with the Tab S/GS 5 in Basic/Cinema mode to see how accurate it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY6zp42qGnIHere you can see GS5 cinema mode is nearly the same as iPhone 5s and much better than One M8

And burn-in issue is more like a theoritical issue, which many critisms are trying to show. My Note 2 after nearly 2 years are just fine no difference from the beginning. There are faulty units, but how many? There are LCD screen with dead pixels andterrible light bleeding as well

Oh.. here comes the amoled hater..

26. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)

1) My comment was not about AMOLED, my comment was about advertisement so try to troll haredr.

2) I don't hate OLED based screens, I just prefer LCD based screens because in these days OLED based screens still has serious problems which are not solved yet. It is my rational choice and it has nothing to do with hate.

I dont care.. All i know is you always have something to argue in all article related with amoled and samsung.. Well at least some people seems agree with me..

31. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)

yeah.. I have seen him always trying to show his ignorance against Super Amoled and sometime samsung too..

33. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)

"I have seen him always trying to show his ignorance against Super Amoled and sometime samsung too.."

Since when constructive criticism is named as "ignorance" ? :)

37. hung2900 (Posts: 965; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)

Because you never bother to have a real Amoled device for a couple of time and said rverything in theory. Some "evidences" came from a number of users, but remember that there are faulty units, like there are LCD screens with dead pixels or light bleeding.

you keep ignoring how people keep answering you "my GS3 or my Note 2 is just fine" as well.

Ignorance is a perfect word

34. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)

Try to troll harder.

Of course. If you ask them if they know Retina display, they will say -YES. LOL
No matter that such techology doesn't even exist.
See, what apple's propaganda and menial media did in USA

30. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)

It's all about marketing. The word "Retina" does roll of your tongue pretty nicely. Plus, Apple could say anything at this point and 80% of people would believe it.

name brand embedded into there minds.

I don't know why tech sites focus on accurate colors rather than what's pleasing to the eye. I like the saturated colors of Amoled screens.
