Just check out the difference in color rendering and luminosity between the two.
And the quality gain gets even wider with viewing angles according to PLS technology sheets I've been reading.
This seriously makes me condiser the gtab again over the transformer now.
Well Samsung did state that PLS was the evolution of IPS. So... I'm assuming it was supposed to better from the start. I don't know if it truly is. I will be waiting for Anandtech's review to find out.
I bet Samsung is dying to put Amoled on on these new tabs, but I doubt it. I would only buy it if it was Super Amoled Plus (Pentile Matrix...), But I doubt it. Seems like it would be a little expensive. I do imagine however, that Sammy's made some sort of cheaper display that looks just as nice.
Well Samsung have shown a 7" SuperAMOLED screen intended for tablets
My guess is that the next Galaxy Tab "7" will have SuperAMOLED (hopefully plus) and it will probably have the Exynos SoC

Interesting, but I doubt the 10.1 will be SUPER AMOLED because it's only $500.
It won't. They already said it will be PLS.
Interesting... There was a notion ink adam a few inches away
The screen is very good. So what do we have here, IPS or Super PLS, can anyone confirm?
LE = Google IO tablet?
I would assume it's PLS like hopefully the regular 10.1 tablets are.

Yes, it is called the 10.1 Limited Edition, Google I/O is the conference name.
The screen is listed as PLS on Samsung's specs page:

PLS and better than iPad 2
I have the limited edition Galaxy tab 10.1, the ipad 2 and the xoom side by side. The xoom's screen is nothing short of pathetic for the price point. The galaxy tab's is a bit better than the ipad 2. Resolution is higher and colors are a tad bit more saturated, with fairly equivalent viewing angles. The ipad has more aggressive auto brightness, so you do sometimes have to up the brightness on the tab.
This is good to know. My Asus Transformer is also less brighter than my iPad2 but less saturated in colors and more neutral. Personally I like color saturation.

This. Though I haven't found any situations where I needed to adjust brightness.
The galaxy tab 2 comes with a front facing VGA camera while the original galaxy tab comes with a 2 mp front facing camera;
How vast of a difference does this actually make? I have been able to find a video of the galaxy tab 1's 2 mp ff camera, but not a video from the galaxy tab 2's VGA.
Thanks all.

This is the original 7" Galaxy tab forum and not 10.1. Please try to post in the correct forums.
Thanks

There are rumours that Samsung is preparing a 7-inch Galaxy Note GT-N5100 to fit between the 5.5 inch and 10.1 inch Notes.
I hope that it is true and that it comes with a 1080p full HD screen and LTE/4G for that would make an upgrade definitely worthwhile.
Now that the the Nexus 10 has followed the Ipad, Asus Infinity and Acer A700 with a full 1080p HD screen it is time for Samsung to do the same and release a full 1080p HD 7-inch screen tablet with a S-Pen for I think the Note 10.1 received a cool reception partly because it lacked a 1080p full HD screen.
I am tempted to get the Nexus 10 because it is full 1080p HD and vanilla Android. However, the S-Pen adds a lot of worthwhile functionality to a tablet as I have discovered on my Note I and I would not now buy a tablet without one.
So I'm hoping the rumour that a 7-inch Galaxy Note is coming soon is true and if it has a full 1080p HD screen and LTE/4G then I'll definitely replace my 7.7 with it.
It seems the GT-N5100 is going to have a 720p screen and not 1080p full HD according to SamMobile

The nexus 10 is 2650x1600. Much higher res then 1080p.
The one thing all of these "replacements" and "alternatives" are missing relative to the 7.7: OLED.
There's no possible alternative to the 7.7 without the SAMOLED. PERIOD.
What you're talking about are alternatives to the 7inchers we've already have, maybe even to the 8.9.
I agree however how cool the pen is and all, but just that such a device is a different one. I just bought the 7.7 for the screen. If it had the same screen as the 8.9", or the 7" 1 or 2 I wouldn't particularly have bought this one. Apples and oranges.
I currently own the Note 2 n7100, but today I saw Note 3 on display and played around with it. I was quite impressed by the screen quality and the new s-pen. That tip felt a lot better then Note 2's slippery plasticy one, and I actually enjoyed doodling some stuff with it.
I use my Note 2 mostly for sketching, watching movies, and reading some books.
But I want to know how the Note 10.1 2014's screen compares to Note 3's in terms of brightness, contrast, and clarity? and for watching movies in dark
If I buy the Note 10.1, I get to keep the Note 2 as well.
But if I buy the Note 3, I will have to sell my Note 2.
I don't have a Note phone, still on S3, no value added from me to your post. But 2 gadgets are better than one. Get Note 10.1, keep your phone.

The Note 10.1 is exactly like the Note 3 except bigger screen/resolution and can't call. You can also use the note 10.1 s pen on the Note 2. Therefore keep the Note 2 and get this tablet.

Yea, the screen looks like a larger, more higher resolution version of the Note III. It's beautiful. Like when your walking around the mobile phone displays at the store, the Note III's screen stands out above all the rest in clarity and detail. You can just instantly pick that one out over the others from a glance. Well, it's the same thing with the Note 2014, surrounded by all the other tablets it just makes you just stop and take a look at it because it's so clean.
Once I pick up my Note '14, I'll have exactly what you have. A Note II and a Note 2014. It's seriously the way to go in such a situation.
And personally, I never use my Note II's S-pen. It's hand cramp central writing with that thing, but writing on the 2014 in the store feels very comfortable because of the size of the device and placement of the hard buttons.
I also think note 2 + note 10.1 2014 is the way to go. For the uses you describe the tablet makes a perfect fit. IMHO the only real drawback of the note 10 . 2014 vs note 3 is the contrast ratio. But unless you vitally need very very deep blacks, this screen is gorgeous and... big
On the other hand, I think the tablet has better outside visibility, although I am not 100% sure about it

I think you only can't call from WiFi version, and that's SM-P6000
Own both in fact Samsung should give me a great customer loyalty rating because I own the Galaxy Gear too.
The Note 3, I use for phone calls, apps .... It is the device I always have with me.
The Gear, is a convenience get email in the meeting glance to the watch. Got myfitnesspal, and a few apps on my Gear. I love the device.
The Note 10.1 use for games such as Dead Trigger II, magazines, movies, browsing the problem with the Note 10.1 is being a tablet I am not always carrying it, also no LTE.
I have Note 3 and 2014. Perfectly happy and I use both A LOT.
But I would double check the S-Pen compatibility thing. Sometimes when I'm using both, I will use the larger 2014 S-Pen on the Note 3 and it works most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's a phone issue because the Note 3's pen works flawlessly 100% of the time with its phone.
Having both, felt note 10.1 is a tone down note 3 with bigger screen without NFC & proximity sensor. I prefer note 3 as it more easier to bring out.
Its not the greatest for watching movies. I find that dark scenes in movies appear very washed out looking, almost like watching on an LCD TV, where there is some light bleed coming thru on the blacks. Just my opinion.

Stick with the Note 2 if that's all you're doing.

IPS LCD can't compete with the pure black of SAMOLED for watching movies in the dark. IPS will show black as grey.

Sounds like your best choice is keep the Note 2 and get the Note 10.1 2014 (Snapdragon 800).
I watch movies and shows on my Note 3. Nothing, in my opinion, can compete with SAMOLED for that. Work, etc. gets done on the 10.1, which is awesome for multi tasking and getting business done.
Thanks for all your input guys! This has been very helpful.
I will go for the Note 10.1 for now. And I will probably get the Note 3 next year after its price goes down a bit.
For movies, I'll have to stick with my Note 2 for the nice contrast.
