For those complaining u see no different, it's because we're on KZbin, not face to face. Check your resolution, some people complain there's no different while watching at 360p...

That was awesome!! Can't do better👍 im a big fan of brilliant displays no matter what kind of tech they use.. ips or oled. Would you compare best ips display tablets?

[@EhtashamAnwar]

@@ahmadmusavi5338 Thank you for watching! Currently, high-end tablets predominantly feature OLED displays, and it is rare to find a top-tier model with an IPS display. However, I will make an effort to source some mid-range tablets with IPS displays, and if successful, I will certainly create a comparison video

[@InToXz]

i really want you to get a Huawei matepad pro 12.2 cuz that tablet has a random OLED just like the iPad pro

[@TheLeif001]

The ipad shows more highlight while the samsung has a deeper black, the honor has a bit of bluish tint. ipad has more details on shadow due to highlight, shadow and highlight may be subjective as it depends on the one seeing the video or the intention of the videographer.

[@EhtashamAnwar]

You are iPad definitely show more detail and clarity in the video. Thanks for watching!!!

Op, do you have older ipad pros, the 12.9 with minled? to compare I have ipad pro m1 12.9 and considering the magicpad2 as upgrade, mainly i need it for moonlight streaming, to stream PC games and use the tablets sort of handheld with HDR. So the only-thing i care about is OLED HDR performance and of course HEVC + AV1 decode [ipad pro m1 doesn't have AV1 decode, only HEVC]

[@EhtashamAnwar]

Hi, sorry I do not have the older iPad. The panel on the older iPad is very similar to the m3 MacBook Pro's display panel. The problem with mini LED is the blooming around the brighter areas especially in HDR mode. Oled panels do not have this issue but peak brightness on mini-led panels is normally quite high compared to OLED. Why not go for the new oled iPad Pro, super bright and very deep blacks. also have excellent HDR performance as well.

[@NoBodysGamer]

@@EhtashamAnwar New ipads pro too expensive, especially where im from + 17% vat and especially for my use case [using it as gaming handheld for streaming] magicpad2 12gb goes down to 450USD on aliexpress during their sales [which they do couple times a month] and using their coupons Plus ill probably be forced to pay 100-150USD tax and its ok price, so 550-600USD total Basic ipad pro 11inch will cost me 1200usd taxes included or 1070$ for customer return Second issue is that ipads sold as media devices but come with most idiotic unusable aspect ratios, say TV series that has black bars on 16:9 TV, is about 1/4th of the ipad pro screen, so much space lost 16:9 games also dont take the whole space there is a web site that you can input screen resolution and size and compare basically MagicPad 2 pro = iPad pro 13inch when displaying 16:9 content, they equal [magicpad is 1% larger but its nothing] ipad pro wins in 4:3 content by almost 40%, but what kind of 4:3 content is there? Reading text and browsing the internet, sure

[@EhtashamAnwar]

@@NoBodysGamer Than magic pad is a better choice for consuming online content. Especially when you consider it’s low starting price and screen you gets. Hope it helps

Who has the less reflective on the display? 1st to 3rd ranking

[@EhtashamAnwar]

@@robertevangelista5661 non of them any anti reflective coating on them so they are pretty much same when it comes to reflectivity. On iPad, Apple offers anti reflective coating option on higher end models but it reduces the contrast. If reflection is a big issue for you go for new Samsung tab S10 plus or ultra. It should be available to buy from 4th of October. Samsung is using similar screen coating/ technology on this new tablet what they have already been using on s24 ultra. It reduces reflections considerably without compromising the contrast.

[@equilibrium-tech]

I want to know this answer too, because the new Tab S10 is specialized in this feature

[@rokiedecentra9656]

The hono measures much better in the brightness department compared to the samsung so i am really surprised you said the samsung is brighter - i have looked at both in store and the honor is visibly brighter under the bright store lights while the samsung genuinly looks like it is struggling and to my eyes not bright enough

[@EhtashamAnwar]

@@rokiedecentra9656 The brightness performance of a tablet can vary depending on the content being displayed. While one tablet might have a higher peak brightness on paper, it’s important to consider whether that brightness is sustained or only applies to specific bright areas, such as when watching HDR content. In reality, there isn’t a significant difference in brightness between these tablets. One may look better than the other depending on the scene, which is why I conducted side-by-side comparisons for viewers to see and judge for themselves. In my experience, iPad displays stand out for both brightness and clarity. Samsung and Honor are very close in performance, but I preferred the Honor for darker scenes due to its clarity in shadowed areas, while Samsung’s colors were more vibrant overall

[@rokiedecentra9656]

@@EhtashamAnwarthe SDR brightness primarily the s9+ measures like 400 nits with an apl18 standard pattern while the honor gets like 650, the honor was brighter - HDR peak yeah it might be similar

Did you compare the quality in streaming apps like Netflix and in movies with full resolution with hdr copied to devices without compression? I've found that hdr works properly on Samsung tablets only in KZbin. Everywhere else the picture is too dark. This was the reason I sold Tab S7 Plus years ago and according to reddit topics it's still the case with Tab S9.

[@EhtashamAnwar]

@@heniekzpoczty5294 Hi, Netflix series Our Planet is being played on all the tablets in this video. In my opinion Samsung performs quite well on all video platforms. Maybe the older S7 had some issues but I didn’t find any issues regarding different video quality on different platforms.

[@heniekzpoczty5294]

@@EhtashamAnwar Is it also the case with other videos? Do you recommend Tab S9 Ultra or Ipad Pro M4 for watching content?

[@EhtashamAnwar]

@@heniekzpoczty5294 The new M4 iPad Pros, featuring a tandem OLED display, offer significantly improved brightness and enhanced detail in video playback. However, a notable drawback when watching 16:9 content on the iPad is its aspect ratio, which results in substantial black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. In contrast, Samsung tablets, with their aspect ratio better optimized for 16:9 videos, display minimal black bars, providing a more seamless viewing experience. If your priority is brighter visuals with greater clarity, the iPad is an excellent choice. However, for a more immersive experience with minimum black bars, Samsung tablets are the better option.
