Before you figure out which tablet to choose for watching movies - Foras or Apple, let's decide on a set of basic characteristics:
- Convenience. The larger the screen size, the more comfortable the video viewing and / or reading.
- Visual perception is the relationship between different sides of the screen.
- The quality of the picture. It is determined by the type of matrix and screen resolution.
- Memory card.
- Power, realistic sound. Depends on the quality, power of the speakers built into the gadget.
- Battery capacity.
Display dimensions
Regarding screen sizes, you need to consider such tips to choose a tablet for reading and watching movies:
- To date, the most popular diagonal value is 10.1 inches. Such gadgets have an optimal aspect ratio.
- Some companies produce devices with a diagonal size of 11.6 inches or more. However, these models are too bulky, in size closer to laptops.
- The best option for viewing media content is still 10.1 inches.
Important! Since many users of gadgets choose a new device precisely by the size of the display, we prepared a separate rating of models according to this criterion. Follow the link to learn about top 10 inch tablets.
Picture quality
The resolution of the matrix is one of the determining factors, and a strict principle applies here: the higher the better. According to experts, you should focus on a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels or more. This resolution is sufficient for high-quality image transmission.
Screen aspect ratio
This is an indicator that is not always paid attention to. And completely in vain. The convenience of viewing content largely depends on it. For a comfortable video viewing, the optimal ratios are 16: 9 and 16:10. This ratio provides a screen diagonal of 10.1 inches.
Important! Models with an aspect ratio of 4: 3 are not suitable for working with video. This is due to the fact that when watching a movie, black frames form on the sides, which interferes with the perception of information. This ratio is for devices with a diagonal of 9.7 inches.
Matrix type
As for the type of matrix, the most common are the following types:
- TFT This type of matrix is used in budget tablet models.
- IPS (LG). This is the most common category of matrices. Gadgets with an IPS screen guarantee good image quality and a wide viewing angle.
- PLS (Samsung). In fact, this is an analogue of the IPS matrix.
- Super AMOLED from the described liquid crystal options is characterized by good color reproduction and contrast. This type of matrix is used in expensive tablet models.
Important! With excellent image quality, Super AMOLED screens have a short life. The short life of the green phosphor over time leads to a distortion of color reproduction. Therefore, the best option is tablets with the matrix PLS, IPS. The image is decent enough, reliability also did not disappoint.
Sound quality
If we talk about the power of sound, then the best solution would be a model with two speakers. The best in this regard are products from Sony, Samsung and Apple. Lesser-known brands lose significantly in sound quality. Although over the past 2 years worthy brands from the Celestial Empire appeared on the market, whose products quickly flooded the markets and began to be in great demand.
