Display quality is now a compulsory requirement for consumers when shopping for a brand new smartphone or tablet. In 2013 alone, we witnessed three of the most powerful tablets that offer a dynamic viewing sensation.
Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX, Google Nexus 7 2 and the iPad Mini 2 are all in contention when it comes to tablets with the best display. A test was put in placed involving all three tablets and to the surprise of many, the iPad Mini 2 came last.
Ray Soneria ran those tests and it was discovered that the iPad Mini 2 retains the same colour gamut without image retention from its predecessor. In terms of built, the Mini 2 has an indium-gallium-zinc oxide display. The Nexus 7 2 has a polysilicon display whereas the Kindle Fire HDX has Quantom Dots.
In terms of resolution an ppi, the iPad Mini 2 is the best there is. However, viewing quality got affected due to the tablet lacking in colours. This was achieved by both the Nexus 7 2 and the Kindle Fire HDX which stands on equal footing, offering 100% colours. In addition to that, both tablets from Amazon and Google offer impressive display brightness.
The Kindle Fire HDX is particularly special. Its Quantom Dots technology is really out of this world. The Quantom Dots is able to produce highly saturated primary colours just like those produced by OLED displays. While the colours are already impressive, Quantom Dots is really power efficient. The results suggest Quantom Dots to be the staple screen in the near future.
The iPad Mini 2 has been the most disappointing of all. For a new tablet, Apple has failed to give the device a much-needed upgrade. The iPad Air has full SRGB cover which left many wondering why Apple didn’t do the same for the Mini 2.
If quality display is your thing, do proceed with the Kindle Fire HDX or the Nexus 7 2 as the iPad Mini2 is simply not worth looking into.
