[INFO] Transformer vs. Xoom: the screen

---

I just want to say: the TF's screen by itself makes it better than the Xoom. I've been looking at them side by side since I got my TF yesterday (well, not constantly, but you know what I mean). The TF is just in a different class than the Xoom based on the screen alone.

First, the colors and temp of the TF screen is far more natural and pleasant--I had no idea the Xoom's screen was so cold/blue. After looking at them side-by-side, I couldn't go back to using the Xoom.

Second, the viewing angle discrepancy really is striking--putting them both flat on a desk, the Xoom starts fading pretty much the second I get a little off-angle. The TF stays crisp and clear almost all the way to the horizontal. Again, I had no idea the Xoom was so bad comparatively, and I'd never to back to the Xoom for that reason alone.

I just don't know how Asus managed to squeeze this screen into a $399 price point. Even if they cut somewhere else, I'd be fine with it. I'd much rather have marginally lower build quality (which I really don't think is the case) and that screen. It's awesome.

I got a chance to look at an Eee Pad at Memory Express last night (Someone returned it) and I was very impressed with the screen. Much nicer than the Xoom I returned due to the poor quality screen.

The Eee Pad screen appears to be of the same quality as the iPad screen.

The real test will be when I can take one home and use it in normal light conditions.

Hope you get one soon The screen is crazy. I woke up this morning and needed to show my lady some stuff on the web while we were still lying in bed -- with my gTab, when I flipped it around for her to see, I could never tell if she was seeing the page or a psychedelic mishmash of colors. But now I know when I show people things on the screen, they are seeing what I saw. Very nice, love this tab.

couldn't agree with you more. When I show my transformer to friends and family I don't have to put a disclaimer anymore like I used to do with xoom. I usually go "the screen is not the best, but..." With the Transformer, its "check out this beauty ..." lol

Cmon guys, there are all ready a fair few threads on this, could this be reposted in one of them?
Thanks
