Default Screen: Picture quality Tab VS galaxy S?

I had a HTC Desire and bought a Galaxy S. I didn't notice a big different between the screen on those 2. Now I bought the Desire HD, and I'm VERY disappointed with the screen on this! Yesterday I ordered a Galaxy Tab, but I cancelled it now, as I'm VERY afraid that this screen is not as good as the one on the Galaxy S. Having used an AMOLED, I think everything else is a step-down...
Anybody used a Galaxy S for some time that uses the Pad? How is the screen quality? What about Androids coming soon with at least 4" Amoled?

Samsung manufacture something like 90%+ of all the AMOLED panels in the world and they've only just announced the first 7" on for use in mobile devices, so it'll be a while before we see anything Tab-sized with an AMOLED or sAMOLED display (current rumours say June 2011).

The screen on the tab is excellent. I doubt any of the alternatives currently running android have better screens, so its a pity you cancelled your order.

I have an HTC Desire and bought a Galaxy Tab over the weekend. The screen on the Tab is really good - it's very, very bright and very clear. Only difference is the blacks aren't quite as 'black' as the HTC.

Re-order, you won't regret it.

Ditto!

The screen on the Tab is very good, even when compared to the AMOLED Desire.

Two thumbs up. Don't know what the fuss is all about on AMOLED. The Tab is real beautiful.

I find the Tab's display more than adequate. The colors are vibrant (saturation can be adjusted) and the white/black levels can be configured too.

The IPS technology used in the latest Apple products offer better viewing angles (in terms of maintaining color and contrast), whereas the Tab's display tends to wash-out some details. That being said, it is still amongst the better displays, nothing deal-breaking. There's also a slight issue with regards to refresh rates, which creates a tiny bit of ghosting, particularly visible with text rendering. Once again, it's a really minor issue, just being picky here.

Overall, I absolutely love reading and playing on the device, the screen is simply beautiful. I haven't tried outdoors yet, but I guess it's like every single multitouch-display out there: it sucks !

I also have a Vibrant but so far the Tab's screen has very good so far. I've only had it for less than a day but I can say it's at least not strikingly apparent.

I have both Galaxy S and Tab.
Side by side, S has better screen. Black is really black because of the amoled technic and the overall contrast is better.
But Tab has also very good screen, it is excellent. If there wasn't the S to compare, I couldn't imagine any better.
