In recent times we have heard a lot about the fantastic image quality of AMOLED displays that Samsung has ridden his new Galaxy Tab S, but it seems that it has a great rival in another tablet that was presented some time ago, but that has just passed through the hands of DisplayMate for a comprehensive analysis: Surface Pro 3. These are the results.
Great results for Surface Pro 3 screen reviews
We have already spoken to you on other occasions about the analysis of DisplayMate, probably the most exhaustive and interesting that we can find when assessing the picture quality of tablets and smartphones and that allow us to go beyond a simple comparison of pixel densities, a section in which the Surface Pro 3, with a resolution of 2160 x 1440, scores well but without standing out too much, although it is also worth remembering, as they do, that from a certain point of resolution and at a certain distance, improvements in resolution can be practically negligible (a burning issue with the arrival of screens Quad HD to high-end smartphones and the costs that this implies in terms of performance and autonomy).
In any case, even if we grant that the latest tablet of Microsoft It lags behind others in pixel density, there are other issues, however, in which it does stand out, and they are not few. The technology Cleartype, for example, it manages to substantially improve the visibility of the text in black / white scales, helping to alleviate its lower resolution considerably, especially when it comes to improving the user experience when reading on the screen. The particular format that those from Redmond have chosen for it, 3: 2, also receives a good rating, as an intermediate solution to 16: 9, which prioritizes video playback, and 4: 3, which does the same with documents .
His greatest virtue seems, however, to be the fidelity in the representation of colors, test in which it has achieved the highest score that any tablet has had so far. If we add good scores to these results in gloss (a bit below its main competitors, but still very high), viewing angles (something quite interesting, since its size lends itself a lot to be used to see something with more people) and its low consumption (especially in relation to its size), it is clear that it is a fantastic option for all those for whom image quality is essential when choosing a tablet.
The only point where the evaluation seems to be (slightly) less positive is in relation to reflections and its use outdoors, although it is possible that this is a less worrisome aspect in a tablet of this size and is, in any case, one of the sections in which in Display Mate They insist that further evolution is needed for mobile devices in general. It must be recognized, in any case, that Galaxy Tab S They clearly outperform it at this point.
At the height of the Galaxy Tab S
The evaluation of DisplayMate from the screen of the Surface Pro 3 is so positive that, in fact, they have not hesitated to put it at the height of the Galaxy Tab S, although they recognize that the tablet of Samsung would still deserve to occupy the first position, albeit with a minimum distance: the new tablet of Microsoft It wins in color representation, but the others beat it in terms of resolution and image quality outdoors, for example. They have no doubt, however, in placing it ahead of the Kindle Fire HDX, which would take the bronze medal, and the iPad Air, relegated to fourth position.
