When i used the nexus 7 first i was sad that the screen isn't vibrant as the competition. They got everything right but the main thing wrong. Today i realized that they didnt get the screen wrong

I has a book for college in a pdf format. I decided to read it on the my cousins ipad 3 rather than my laptop thinking it will be cool bexause of the "RETINA" display. I read for 5 minutes then stopped. If i would have have carried on i would have gone blind. Then i thought hmmm let do in in the nexus. Reading book on laptop is pointless and boy was i amazed.

The screen was amazing for the book and didnt hurt my eyes at all and from now i am a Perfectly satisfied Nexus 7 Customer.

I read all the time on my iPad 3 and my eyes never hurt. Not sure how better calibrated colors are causing you problems reading PDF files.

I never really saw much of a huge difference between the vibrance of displays with the n7 vs other tablets... And this is coming from someone who's gets yearly for blindness tests. Glad to hear it works for you though!

I don't have much of a comparison to the ipad other then I know this is easier to hold, but I do know I read know more now than ever before in my life because of this thing. It's just so easy and comfortable.

Did you try changing the brightness of the ipad at all? I've read plenty on my ipad and never had a problem. The nexus has a good display but it does lacks little in contrast and colors. But it's good enough for what I use it for.

I agree. My big brother & his wife has a Ipad 1 (mom & me got for wife's bday), which I sometimes use when at their house. That thing is a PAIN. I much prefer my Nexus 7, much better to use and hold in hand. Now my big b uses my Nexus EVERYTIME I'm at his house. :D

Poor Ipad :p

I have used both and have no problems with either device. Was a tough decision to buy the nexus after using my friends ipad 3. In the end it came down to portability and price. I can fit my nexus in my big coat pocket and head off to Uni. Its great

Here's what many professional analysis results found regarding the Nexus 7.

The display "hardware" is exceptional!!! There is no debate there.

But the firmware display calibration is "lousy" and thus impacts the display negatively for those that are wanting a much better color match. So if Google fixed this in a future update, then the display would move to the forefront of the 7" pack.

Here's hoping that an update results the calibration issues and pushes this display to the top of the 7" pack.

I have a KFHD7 and N7 in hand right now. Side by side, they are almost comparable. The N7 auto brightness is very aggressive and keeps the screen very dimmed. If you adjust your own brightness, the colors on the N7 will come through, however the KFHD has more contrast creating slightly more vibrant colors and deeper blacks. Something like that could be fixed with color calibration software. I'm honestly liking the N7 over the KFHD. Yes, the KFHD has better colors and definitely better sound, but I like the size and thinness of the N7. Feels much lighter and less bulky.
