Hi
I'm very confused about my a500 screen. I see this tablet can't view the colors correctly.
The problem maybe from 262k (not 16m).
Is there any idea please?
more information by "can't view color correctly"
I don't feel so far that much difference between 16m and the 265k (I mean not like 256 colors and 16m)
when I compare a500 with galaxy s screen I see the galaxy s is better than a500

I think the screen is pretty darn good. It's not IPS, but it's pretty damn close.

I don't know! But i see it's not good.
I'm going to replace my Iconia with Galaxy Tab 10.1 or Asus Transformer.
Thanks
for me it's a good screen

ok the 25ms response time is really... humm not that good but that give a kind of "unique" feeling in game experiences (like the PSP)

I would like to see the FRU list of galaxy tabs... that is just for my own things
It's good enough for me, but then I was on an Advent Vega before (and if you've ever seen the screen on that...)
It's not IPS, the Galaxy Tab/Transformer screens are. But for me the screen was a lower priority than the connectivity, which is why I got the Iconia instead of the others.

Galaxy S screen is a super amoled and there is no tablet on earth with a a comparable screen, so why bother?

Some reviews show that the Note is able to perform as well as the 7-inch tablets so it looks like the Note will soon replace them.

I doubt this highly . Bigger screens will always be better.
We have the resolution, yes - but try playing majesty on the note.
That's just painful. It's too small.

I was planning to get 7 inch tab. But not anymore
I have owned and used daily an original galaxy tab 7" since they launched, and I am planning to replace it with a note in a few months. Mainly waiting to see what is happening with them in the United States, but I am also hoping that they will drop at least a little in price by then.
My one complaint about my 7" tab is that it is almost too big to keep in my pockets year round, and if I hope to get a good upgrade, I am certain that the 7.7" will be too big for my pockets, so the note it is.
I still see the mid-size form factor of 7"+ having a following for persons that carry a bag everywhere and prefer the fine balance of screen real estate and mobility that the 7" form factor strikes.
I use my 7" HTC Flyer for school when I'm in Clinical(nursing) It fits really nice in my lab coat, and people recognize it as a tablet/productivity device. If you try and pull out a phone, even a 4" one they will think you are texting or playing around(even though you can do that on a tablet) they just some a stupid perception towards phones vs tablets being out on the floor...Hopefully the Note is big enough to be seen as a tablet. The Flyer is just a tiny tiny bit bigger then what I need it for. I really want to unload my iPhone 4 and just keep a iPod Touch for times when I need those apps....
I plan on replacing my HTC Flyer with the Note myself. I currently use a iPhone 4, HTC Flyer w/pen and a 16gb Wifi iPad. I also have a touchpad, but that mostly sits in it's doc as a clock untill the android build gets to at least beta.
I had a 3g iPad when it came out, so I still have my unlimited plan. I canceled my contract with ATT and changed out my APK on my iPhone so I could run it with my unlimited data only SIM. With the Power of Google Voice and Jailbreak mods, I can use it as a normal phone with data only(talkatone and gv ext) Plus share the internet with my Flyer and wifi iPad that I got in a trade plus cash for my 3g ipad.
I see you can buy Galaxy Note's on ebay already(for a while now actually) but I'm hesitant at this point because I'm not sure my Unlimited data SIM will work in the device for data only. Plus, I'm not ready to go with-out hotspot capability, so I need to wait till we get a custom rom that lets us do that(if the stock ROM does not already have that built in). Plus, from what I understand, there is a chance that ATT may get it with LTE...and that would be worth starting another contract to me!(I doubt they would let me use my unlimited data sim on LTE...that would rock if I could do that!)
Holy crap I went off topic and rambled...
So yeah.
I have the note and an ipad, in my opinion the note will replace 99% of the tasks the ipad does. The larger screen is an issue when viewing media but for everything else the 1280x800 screen on the note is amazing. The pure quality of the samsung hd screen means I won't be looking for another tablet.
Once ice cream sandwich appears it will be the perfect device.
PS if size is the issue then yes it is a big bugger but. So am I.

The only time I find I need my iPad is when I need to take notes with the larger on-screen keyboard. I don't see myself upgrading from my iPad 1 till they have the Retina Display. Till then it's only a way to share documents when I need a larger view.
I have replace a HTC Flyer to Note, the display is not much differance,
Don't understand why all Tablet have very big screen outside, make a big device but display is small.
Note is phone style, have a small screen outsides, so it totaly side is small enough for pocket when still keep big enough for display.
Note is all in one for my daily use

I agree. That's why I would never bother with an ipad or the like.
I have a 26" and a 22" screen ganged in dual mode at home on my pc,
and my phone goes with me everywhere.
I've got no use for anything in between.

Hi how much are you paying for the 7.7 ?? Also is it worth getting as I already have galaxy note the screen resolution is the same... But is the screen better then the note as the 7.7 is not a pentile display ??

They are about $650 shipped or so from Negri for the wifi/3g model I think.
Your Galaxy Note has a resolution of 1280x720 whereas the 7.7 has a 1280x800, not that it matters much, they are very similar of course.
In my personal opinion - I think a Galaxy Note + 7.7 is too much of the same thing.. The screen sizes are close already as is the resolution.. I think something with a 10 or larger screen would compliment your already large screen mini-tablet phone better.

The Note is 1280x800. I can definitely see the difference with the PenTile matrix, even at the Note's pixel density, and prefer the RGB stripe on the 7.7. Many people can't see it or don't care--and really, the Note's screen is exceptional.
As for whether to get it, I don't really feel that the 7.7 complements the Note all that well, but it's really a matter of preference. Personally, I use the 7.7 around the living room mostly, while I have a GS2 as a daily driver for phone use. Some people use the 7.7 as a primary device; maybe you'd prefer it to the Note. My issue with larger tablets is that you're stuck at the same resolution all the way from the tab 7.7 to the 10.1. IMO, you're better off waiting for the iPad3 or a 1080p+ android tablet.

True ill be stuck with the same resolution but whats the point of getting a 10.1 lcd xvga display or whatever it is?? OLED Display is way better and you are spot on you can tell the difference between pentile and non pentile displays.... Detail really matters to me im kind of a screen perfectionist if you know where im coming from Thanks for your feedback i will be taking the plunge for the 7.7
If you are looking at text its quite easy to tell which one is pentile despite the high resolution but if your looking at images or movies I doubt anyone can tell the difference.
Im a screen perfectionist my self and I cannot tell the difference in images/movies from both devices. Though pentile vs RGB at 1280x800 is a minor issue for me, what concerns me more is the huge % of screens with manufacturing inconsistencies, some might find those inconsistencies tolerable but I dont.
I am at your shoes about 1 month ago. I ended up selling my note, and couldn't be happier.
I love the screen, it's much better than the note, even though I already feel that Note's screen are great. And as a multimedia device, note loses, and another reason, I'm sick of gingerbread, so eventhough honeycomb is bad, I still enjoy the fresher experience.
You won't regret getting 7.7, like me It's so thin, its well made (it's the first non apple product that wow-ed me), and brilliant screen!

Thanks i already do quite a lot of reading on my NOTE so 7.7 will be perfect for that Thanks
Finally got someone to show me their Note 2. Very nice, but i still have the same grip about the aspect ratio-16:9, not 16:10 like the OG Note. Placing both phones side by side in landscape or "tablet" mode, The OG shows 5 emails in gmail, while te N2 shows 4. Most tablets also have 16:10(like my Note 10.1) and 1280x800, which what makes the OG a "phablet" to me. THe N2 just is a big s3 at this resolution.
Has anyone used one of those LCD resolution apps? I see setting 320 dpi in the apps change the res to 1280x800, has anyone tried this on the N2? This is literally the only thing keeping me from getting it. The larger, phone looking display of information seems like such a waste of screen space. I want the tablet part of "phablet", the more lines of text the better.
Thank you for your input
I use density changer from the market and set it to 240dpi. Going back just looks weird now, everything's so BIG. You'll need a new keyboard though because the stock Samsung one FCs but there's loads on the market. Might be adviseable to have one readily downloaded before you change density. Some other apps go slightly awry but the plus points easily outweigh the HUGE icons.

This is not relevant, but I find this Interesting, because I am the opposite - I would not have considered the Galaxy Note II if it had retained the resolution of the original Galaxy Note. My primary use of the Note II will be for watching videos, and almost all of my video files are 16:9, so the black bars would bother me. (Strange, I know.) I also have a netbook with a resolution 1280x720, and yet, I have no problems with the fact that the screen has a shorter height than it would on a 1280x800 screen.

ye i modify build.prop and tweak my dpi, you have to be careful though or Samsungs stock keyboard goes into a FC loop of doom anything under 270dpi needs a keyboard replacement before you make the change. Theirs a thread somewhere with stocks apps modded for lower dpi.

sounds excatly like what i need! Do you think it equates to the 1280x800? Do you think you could take a screenshot of gmail in landscape mode?
Seeing 4 icons on a stock note 2 is just so blehhhh....im on nova on my N1, so i would prob use it on the N2 as well.

I dont mind black bars. In fact, if you watch a real cinematic experience, one would want 2.39:1, not the 16:9 "HD" they push on us

Thank you for this. Not good as i must study all weekend. Looks like my GF will be getting me a N2 since i got her an S3.
Is the Att version modable to have multiview yet? Or all the goodies you all love? I have not rooted any phone yet(may practive on my GS1) because I dont want to get sucked into the rabbit hole of reading thru forums for hourse!
Similar to a few other threads, I'm curious what the stock LCD density is for the Nexus 10 tablet; I recently changed ROMS before thinking to look at the one that shipped.

300 i believe. Or 299 to be more precise.

Physically, its 299. But in software, its 320 as Android only has resources for a small handful of DPIs. Manufactures will use the closest one to their device when shipping.

In a nutshell, because pixel based art doesn't scale well, and it would be insane to create a graphic for literally every single possible screen density, Android has the following software options for pixel densities: ldpi (120), mdpi (160), hdpi (240) and xhdpi (320). Technically you CAN set it to something else, but then the market breaks and things look ugly since it'll be forced to scale another size. Its Google's way of ensuring sanity for software developers, since going a little off wont hurt anything. All that setting affects is how many pixels individual graphics take, the higher the dpi, the more pixels used. So a lower DPI would result in less detailed, smaller icons and UI but more space for content. A higher DPI would be the exact opposite.
If you want verification of this, try an app like Elixir and look at what it says your display DPI is. On stock and CM10.1, it says the density is 299 but clicking more info shows "extra-high (320)"
Its a long read meant more for developers, but its explained here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
