I got it since last week, and I am extremely happy with it. The S Pen is simply amazing. The display is superbe, for my purposes it's more than enough. The overall performance of the device is great (and that's okay because it costed quite a bit...)
@@subisooraj6207 This really is a good question. It really comes down to your personal opinion. They both have pros and cons (the never ending andoid Vs apple debate ). Personally I think you get more for your money on the S7 ... But you could argue that an iPad has a longer support and will work for 4-5 years. But if you buy it for school then the S7 is definitely more attractive , because you will get the s pen for free and the keyboard "only" costs 150$. Yeah, but if you like apple then get the apple one. There both nice I think
i regret buying the tab s7 because i spent too much time with it playing games and watching shows on the nice beautiful sharp lcd display xD. its really that good
What about the White Balance? Just got my S7 and the White is not White. Compared to other devices... It has a yellow, Green tint. Do You have not the same problem?
I personally decided on the s7 because I want a more compact tablet for use at work. A tablet larger than this model would be to cumbersome when holding upright to read or travel with daily. Honestly, I wanted a smaller tablet but didn't care for the older models. So far I am 110% pleased with my decision.
Saving is not worth it in this case, as you don't buy tablets every day. I got 2 of the 7+ for the entire family and they are loving it. S7+ has louder speakers dues to bigger body/acoustics
Just bought the Tab S7 recently after using Tab S2 8 inch for 4 years the LTPS lcd panel looks so vibrant even though blacks are not deep as Super Amoled but this is still the best display Samsung give & Tab S7 is just nice size for me thanks for the video review comparison
Great tablet for basically everything. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I bought it specifically for art, and that 4k screen is really fantastic for it! Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet. I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. Love it!
Thank you so much for this analysis. This will help many people in deciding which tablet to buy. Seems to me the differences are very nuance and it may not be worth buying the more expensive S7+. Unless you have the money and you just want brighter videos - both tablets have the same specs.
what I realized is that what kind of screen protector you get matters a lot too. I got Matte and it def lowers the resolution compared to just clear one, but helpful in less reflection under sunlight :)
@KC you will know when u get one. Cover ones are heavier than non cover ones. Besides, I do like to have protection on the screen anyway cuz I carry it around much. Matte one also helps on minimizing the reflection under the sun

Just upgraded from asus zenpad 10 and i loved the lcd 2k screen on that. I picked up the tab s7+ and honestly between the 2k lcd on my asus vs the amoled 2k screen it really isnt a huge difference but the 120hz is nice on tab s7+.
Also, Tab S7 and S8 regular versions become very brutally yellow when you will turn on the eye comfort shield (Blue Light Filter). The only drawback of getting a smaller screen!

LCDs screen right now is really the deal, the only distinction right now is just the real black of LED, which i think innovation of lcd screen may achieve in the future.
I just don’t get what Samsung is doing here. Everyone wants the s7 but with an oled but if you want oled you need to buy the giant version. Crazy. Just buy the s6
You still have a noticeable trade-off between the S6 and the S7 on the processor side and you are giving up the 120hz refresh. I would rather have a 865+ with TFT at 120hz than a 855 with AMOLED at 60hz Samsung really should have offered an AMOLED option with the 11inch S7. At 12.4, you are really starting to push the portability and practicality of the tablet form factor.

Im fine with Backlight. You can only barely see it But im using the Blue Light Filter since I easily get eye strain and it turns the black bars to an orange tint. This is actually not a problem of LCD. Its only due to Samsungs bad Android Software. Nevertheless, you dont have that problem with 7+ where the black pixels are actually turned of I am thinking about sending the Tab 7 back to Amazon and buy a 7+ instead, only due to this Blue Light Filter software problem. But I dont know if the 7+ isnt too big for watching RUclips in bed
Had the S7 Plus and did love it but man it is too big to be bringing around with you. If you just keep it at home it's good but I like to take my tablet with me everywhere I go. And the S7 is the perfect size for that. Plus the screen is beautiful. Tbh can't tell the different between the two screens for me.
is it really that difficult to take along? I'm very confused because I prefer a good display and mobility! i think S7+ is good for graphics and S7 is good for mobility. what's your take on that?
so from 10:33 to 11:07, same functions done on both tablets and the battery lost 8% on the 7+ and only 5% on the 7 in just the course of the video. I kinda wanted the AMOLED screen but the 7 is kinda tempting just on battery consumption alone.
Simple. The color WHITE is the enemy of OLED panels hence why the battery drains faster. You can use Kiwi Browser which has a native dark mode feature for all websites which helps prolong the battery life of the S7+. Also, I'm guessing that some apps he has installed on the S7+ are draining additional battery in the background.
Having seen both in person. The OLED looks way better than LCD. There's no question about it. What's unfortunate is dipshit Samsung making it exclusive to the ridiculously large 12.4" variant. Large tablets are fine when docked. But actually holding and utilizing it is another story.
@@pinky_swear9006 i guess he bought the 7+, me, I bought the S7, the 7+ is just big, 11" is an ideal tab size for me... The LCDscreen is great, unless you're an artist, Tab7 is more than enough... as a matter of fact, I'm typing this comment to my S7 :)
@@pinky_swear9006 yes, top of the line LCD screen, i already edited some videos. thw hardware of s7 is thensame as s7+, so it should be no issue.

You are the best person to compare devices as if you are thinking about me keep going you are not the only one but you are the best🌷 from Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 Middle East🌐
I have the s7, and for me, the only drawback to the lcd is screen glare. The benefits are more natural color, better battery life, and less eye strain. My super amoled on my phone makes colors that don't look real or natural to me, and if I look at the screen too long, I see double when I look up. Doesn't happen on my tab s7...
I am currently sending back the tab s8 plus....samsung offered me 400 bucks for my s7Fe so I was able to snag the s8 plus for 199.00 I hate the way the screen looks compared to my Fe and the battery life sucks
Checking this out after seeing that Samsung is releasing the S7 Lite on June 2021. It will have the same screen as the S7 but at the size of the S7+ with a resolution of 2560x1600. Dang, I wonder how much it will cost. They will probably skimp out on the RAM and the processor to bring the price down. But I doubt it will be anything like the S6 Lite at launch which was around $350.
i have the tab s7 and the display is awesome. everything is so sharp and colorful. the black is a tiny bit gray but its only noticable if you compare it to an amoled screen.
I actually like the higher saturation of the s7. The s7+'s OLED has much better viewing angles. In my opinion, the potential for burn-in makes the s7+ a hard sell, particularly because the quality of the s7's LCD is so nice.
I have the s7 plus and considering returning it. Its good for indoor use but when I bring is with me to review note and take notes its big. I like something I can wip out my bag quick and take a note or play a game.
Yap i like amoled on s7plus but i had to sacrifice it for a more portable tablet s7. And after using the s7 , am happy i made the right choice its more than big enough i need to hold it with both hands, if the s7 is that big i was just wondering how big the s7plus must be.

The AMOLED screen has very noticeable burned highlights and slightly more details in blacks, the LCD has much more details in highlights. Taking in account in the AMOLED the PWM (causes eye fatigue and other health issues) and the burned highlights, the LCD is a much better display.
@@LIGHTISBURNING for note taking and reading IPS and Miniled screens (even carta 1200 but are slower) if they don't have PWM and never use any OLED technology, this statement is valid when you choose a laptop too.
I am in the market for a new tab and I want something OLED because watching stuff at night on my LCD tab at minimal brightness wasnt fun. I was after the S5e as it is only 350€ but the S7+ seems like a killer tab with 12.4" 120Hz HDR and also 2 years newer, high end SOC and S Pen. But its 805€ for me... It is such a tough choice, been watching comparisions all day long! xD
Do you have any backlight bleed on your S7? There's been some reports of backlight bleeding in the corners of the tablet and it's putting me off buying it 😅
Update for anyone who sees this comment: My Tab S7 did have backlight bleed on the top right and bottom left corners of the backlight (landscape). I exchanged the unit, exactly the same bleeding. If you look at a teardown, the bleeding regions are the areas right beside the screen ribbon, so I consider it actually normal for this tablet. But if you don't care about bleeding, the screen is very good, almost OLED as long as you aren't in pitch black. Just something to think about if you, like me, use dark apps and watch dark movies
@@handle659 screen bleed is almost always present on LCD screen, especially on the bottom and upper corner. Im using tab s6 lite and it has too, even on my friend's xiaomi phone. I'ts a normal thing for LCD i guess
the colors and clarity in video looks much, much better on the s7 than the plus. easy example is clouds and sky are blue and differentiated at first on the lcd where the amoled they are mostly just blown out white. I can't stand backlight bleed though so I've now bought three s7+ - got here because I'm trying to find a good screen protetor - none seem to be made. There is litterally no excuse for a decent manufacturer not to make a Glass protector with layers of anti-reflective (think high qulaity laminated glasses for eyeglesses or sunglasses vrs coatings) and polarizing/sharpening.
Could you check, whether black really means pixel off? I tested some (older) OLED screens, all did emit light even if "black". To see this you need to turn off all screen elements, a fully dark room and some time to adapt your eyes to a complete darkness. I find this technically interesting - could never find out, why black is not "pixel off". Even asked some LG guys at Funkausstellung- they did not know either...
An OLED's black pixel is 100% off. Written on my S20 Ultra. There is ZERO light. If you out a 100% black image on the screen and set it to full screen, you'll think your phone is powered off.
@@livedreamsg Thanks for the test. Maybe the technology improved lately. The light in my tests was veeeeery dim though - you really need to check in a dark room with your eyes, adpted to the darkness. and no shining structires (taskbar, ... ) "desensitzing" your eyes. My explanation was, that a PM-Modulation is used to create the "almost blacks" and that the modulation ratio cannot be set to zero for some reason... I found this strange behavior when trying to set up an alarm clock display with very dim, but nevertheless clearly visible digits in the dark. All LCDs turned out unusable, since the "black" background was actually disturbingly illuminating my bed. Then I bought some cheap OLEDs (an old Toshiba Tablet, and a Galaxy Note 4) and found, that both still dimly shone when set to black (with a display test app and surpressing all shining elements/buttons on the screen with an "hide taskbar" app.) Otherwiese the remaining light is hard to detect... Unfortunately an S20 is sligtly too expensive for my stationary alarm clock project ;-) Next try is a small e-ink disply with a very dim illumination. Sadly enough I could not find one that shows a decent clock and allows settig alarms elegantly... Only recently, some e-inks allow to install android apps... The small one I bought recently, refused to install the playstore however, so I am stuck again ;-) Maybe a 5$ alarm should do...
@@ttlstar3553 believe me. I've tried it. Probably way before you and I can tell you it's completely black. Literally no light bleed. This can be seen even on old Samsung phones like the s4 and up. You have to make sure you are looking at a completely black image and not a dark grey
@@kylebelle246 I definitely used a full RGB black for my tests. Nevertehless older OLED devices (an old Toshiba Tablet, and a Galaxy Note 4) did not turn off the pixels fully (very weak luminance).
Only if you dont care if theres Blacklight and if you dong want the screen too bright Other than that, 7+ has better HDR Contrast, which is nice if you watch some Netflix HDR Movies
glad i bought the S7 not S7+. the smaller form factor and don't have to worry about screen burn it, while the s7 screen still looks very great is a big plus.
Every tablet has a lifetime of 5 years So Lcd is just a cheaper option. For the long run, it is not a big difference in price. When the screen is broken you must replace it anyway

But im using the Blue Light Filter since I easily get eye strain and it turns the black bars to an orange tint. This is actually not a problem of LCD. Its only due to Samsungs bad Android Software. Nevertheless, you dont have that problem with 7+ where the black pixels are actually turned of
I am thinking about sending the Tab 7 back to Amazon and buy a 7+ instead, only due to this Blue Light Filter software problem. But I dont know if the 7+ isnt too big for watching RUclips in bed
Thank you for addressing pwm. Very important information
Had the S7 Plus and did love it but man it is too big to be bringing around with you. If you just keep it at home it's good but I like to take my tablet with me everywhere I go. And the S7 is the perfect size for that. Plus the screen is beautiful. Tbh can't tell the different between the two screens for me.
is it really that difficult to take along? I'm very confused because I prefer a good display and mobility! i think S7+ is good for graphics and S7 is good for mobility. what's your take on that?
so from 10:33 to 11:07, same functions done on both tablets and the battery lost 8% on the 7+ and only 5% on the 7 in just the course of the video. I kinda wanted the AMOLED screen but the 7 is kinda tempting just on battery consumption alone.
Tab S7 battery life is significantly better.
Simple.
The color WHITE is the enemy of OLED panels hence why the battery drains faster.
You can use Kiwi Browser which has a native dark mode feature for all websites which helps prolong the battery life of the S7+.
Also, I'm guessing that some apps he has installed on the S7+ are draining additional battery in the background.
The perfect video I was looking for 😍
Having seen both in person. The OLED looks way better than LCD. There's no question about it. What's unfortunate is dipshit Samsung making it exclusive to the ridiculously large 12.4" variant. Large tablets are fine when docked. But actually holding and utilizing it is another story.
Well, Tab S9 tablets are now all OLED
The Amoled diplay white looked like they'll burn your eyes & give u headaches. Lcd looked as if they are more natural for the eyes(harmless).
I feel that way too
Thank you for your videos, they're helping me making my purchase decision of S7 or S7+. Love from Singapore!
which one did you get?
Which one did you choose?
@@pinky_swear9006 i guess he bought the 7+, me, I bought the S7, the 7+ is just big, 11" is an ideal tab size for me... The LCDscreen is great, unless you're an artist, Tab7 is more than enough... as a matter of fact, I'm typing this comment to my S7 :)
@@zer0pulse156 is the lcd on it is good? Especially for watching can it also handle for editing as well
@@pinky_swear9006 yes, top of the line LCD screen, i already edited some videos. thw hardware of s7 is thensame as s7+, so it should be no issue.
The Screen is great for watching movies, taking notes and other stuffs. unless you're an artist that needs precise color, s7 is more than enough.
you're from Sg?
You are the best person to compare devices as if you are thinking about me keep going you are not the only one but you are the best🌷

I have the s7, and for me, the only drawback to the lcd is screen glare. The benefits are more natural color, better battery life, and less eye strain. My super amoled on my phone makes colors that don't look real or natural to me, and if I look at the screen too long, I see double when I look up. Doesn't happen on my tab s7...
I am currently sending back the tab s8 plus....samsung offered me 400 bucks for my s7Fe so I was able to snag the s8 plus for 199.00
I hate the way the screen looks compared to my Fe and the battery life sucks
Checking this out after seeing that Samsung is releasing the S7 Lite on June 2021. It will have the same screen as the S7 but at the size of the S7+ with a resolution of 2560x1600. Dang, I wonder how much it will cost. They will probably skimp out on the RAM and the processor to bring the price down. But I doubt it will be anything like the S6 Lite at launch which was around $350.
Tbh for the price of the Tab S7, if they added a little bit more cash, I wouldn't mind it having amoled
Best display comparison on youtube...can u plz do a detailed comparison video like this between Ipad Air 4 and S7 tab...??
Like the 11 inch s7 ! It must be offered with amoled and 8gb ram etc. Or I and others may buy iPad pro 11 etc.
I almost didn't get the S7 because of the LED, but I actually think I prefer it!
S7 has 12-14hrs battery life. S7+ has 7-9hrs.
@DS Because the adaptive 120Hz instead of all-time 120-Hz consumes less power
@@teohyc is there still no setting to make s7+'s adaptive too?
@@dhaisa There isn't at the time of this comment.
@@teohontech7141 That is a major difference. Battery life is very important to me.
I'm watching this on the Galaxy Tab S7 right now. I plan on keeping it for a while it's a great device.
Thanks for making this comparison. I'm liking the Tab S7.
Both of them are beautiful! I come from a Tab S2 9.7 2016 Edition, which was only good for Netflix and RUclips but not for productivity and gaming
Great video, just what I was looking for!
Thanks for including the stamps
i have the tab s7 and the display is awesome. everything is so sharp and colorful. the black is a tiny bit gray but its only noticable if you compare it to an amoled screen.
I actually like the higher saturation of the s7. The s7+'s OLED has much better viewing angles. In my opinion, the potential for burn-in makes the s7+ a hard sell, particularly because the quality of the s7's LCD is so nice.
This has been super helpful thanks!
I have the s7 plus and considering returning it. Its good for indoor use but when I bring is with me to review note and take notes its big. I like something I can wip out my bag quick and take a note or play a game.
Yap i like amoled on s7plus but i had to sacrifice it for a more portable tablet s7. And after using the s7 , am happy i made the right choice its more than big enough i need to hold it with both hands, if the s7 is that big i was just wondering how big the s7plus must be.
So do you feel there is a portability issue? Also can we lie down on bed and watch it?
Super AMOLED is not worth the extra cost its not much better then lcd ips hdr screem and over time Super AMOLED can get screen burn in
The Best Tablet that I ever have in this Year, so Excited for the Next S8+ Next Year Yay 🙌🙌🙌
Which is your tablet s6 or s7+ ?
@@ellew737 I Bought S7+ for Main Daily Driver & A7 Tab for BackUp!!! 😍😍😍
@@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184 how is s7+ ?:)
I am planning to buy an s6 or s7+ but I am confused
@@ellew737 Woaw Off Course S7+ is Super Better of all Aspect, the Refresh Rate, Battery Life is Super Long for Watching RUclips, Everyday I Take it into My Bag & usually use it in Caffe, Looking Around with Happy Mood 😀😁😀

It looks like LCD is more accurate. You can clearly see white clouds on blue sky while amoled is a white mess.
Being a star wars fan I can no longer watch starwars on LCD 🙈 AMOLED is worth every penny
video starts at 9:13, and ends there actually, no more comparison needed, those grays blacks in ips are such a deception
The best
Very nice and detailed comparison 👍
Thank you so much. Now I can buy Tab S8 in peace. :)
I think u dont have to buy the s7 plus or spend another1000 dollars youll never see the diffwrence even if the s7plis is amoled u dont need that anyway
Thank you for that review, well done 👍
Very thank for this video. Excellent comparison.
Differences in sunlight would have helped...
The AMOLED screen has very noticeable burned highlights and slightly more details in blacks, the LCD has much more details in highlights. Taking in account in the AMOLED the PWM (causes eye fatigue and other health issues) and the burned highlights, the LCD is a much better display.
Really? SO for note taking you probably want the small one?
@@LIGHTISBURNING for note taking and reading IPS and Miniled screens (even carta 1200 but are slower) if they don't have PWM and never use any OLED technology, this statement is valid when you choose a laptop too.
@@CarlosLemans and for watching moovies and drawing what do you think?
Quick question. S7 or S7+, which one is comfy for the eyes?
Personally for me I prefer LCD, hence Tab S7
Tab s 7
The S7+ is way to big for a tablet!!!!
No its not to big. I got it. Its perfect
Go big or go home
That's why I have s20 ultra
And plan on getting the s7+ soon
Yea, I got the s7 🙂
I budged a few months ago and got the s7+. Not a damn regret at all.
I am in the market for a new tab and I want something OLED because watching stuff at night on my LCD tab at minimal brightness wasnt fun.
I was after the S5e as it is only 350€ but the S7+ seems like a killer tab with 12.4" 120Hz HDR and also 2 years newer, high end SOC and S Pen. But its 805€ for me...
It is such a tough choice, been watching comparisions all day long! xD
Do you have any backlight bleed on your S7? There's been some reports of backlight bleeding in the corners of the tablet and it's putting me off buying it 😅
I did not notice any backlight bleed issues with mine. You can search Reddit forums to see if others have the same problem.
Update for anyone who sees this comment:
My Tab S7 did have backlight bleed on the top right and bottom left corners of the backlight (landscape). I exchanged the unit, exactly the same bleeding. If you look at a teardown, the bleeding regions are the areas right beside the screen ribbon, so I consider it actually normal for this tablet. But if you don't care about bleeding, the screen is very good, almost OLED as long as you aren't in pitch black. Just something to think about if you, like me, use dark apps and watch dark movies
@@handle659 screen bleed is almost always present on LCD screen, especially on the bottom and upper corner. Im using tab s6 lite and it has too, even on my friend's xiaomi phone. I'ts a normal thing for LCD i guess
Should have done all those comparisons with auto brightness disabled on both tablets.
Touch sensitivety? 60-270 ghz?
the colors and clarity in video looks much, much better on the s7 than the plus. easy example is clouds and sky are blue and differentiated at first on the lcd where the amoled they are mostly just blown out white.
I can't stand backlight bleed though so I've now bought three s7+ - got here because I'm trying to find a good screen protetor - none seem to be made.
There is litterally no excuse for a decent manufacturer not to make a Glass protector with layers of anti-reflective (think high qulaity laminated glasses for eyeglesses or sunglasses vrs coatings) and polarizing/sharpening.
Is it normal that the Tab S7 is a little bit yellowish?
Ur my fave tech reviewer
I think if you play hdr content there should be a huge difference
Many thanks for your great video.
Does the s6 have the same amoled display as the s7+. I want to go with amoled but the s7+ is too big for a tablet to my liking
Someone just said that the amoled gives eye fatigue
@@LIGHTISBURNING lol wut?
S6 : QHD+ 60hz Display
S7+ : QHD+ 120hz Display
Could you check, whether black really means pixel off?
I tested some (older) OLED screens, all did emit light even if "black".
To see this you need to turn off all screen elements, a fully dark room and some time to adapt your eyes to a complete darkness.
I find this technically interesting - could never find out, why black is not "pixel off".
Even asked some LG guys at Funkausstellung- they did not know either...
An OLED's black pixel is 100% off. Written on my S20 Ultra. There is ZERO light. If you out a 100% black image on the screen and set it to full screen, you'll think your phone is powered off.
@@livedreamsg Thanks for the test.
Maybe the technology improved lately.
The light in my tests was veeeeery dim though - you really need to check in a dark room with your eyes, adpted to the darkness. and no shining structires (taskbar, ... ) "desensitzing" your eyes.
My explanation was, that a PM-Modulation is used to create the "almost blacks" and that the modulation ratio cannot be set to zero for some reason...
I found this strange behavior when trying to set up an alarm clock display with very dim, but nevertheless clearly visible digits in the dark.
All LCDs turned out unusable, since the "black" background was actually disturbingly illuminating my bed.
Then I bought some cheap OLEDs (an old Toshiba Tablet, and a Galaxy Note 4) and found, that both still dimly shone when set to black (with a display test app and surpressing all shining elements/buttons on the screen with an "hide taskbar" app.)
Otherwiese the remaining light is hard to detect...
Unfortunately an S20 is sligtly too expensive for my stationary alarm clock project ;-)
Next try is a small e-ink disply with a very dim illumination. Sadly enough I could not find one that shows a decent clock and allows settig alarms elegantly...
Only recently, some e-inks allow to install android apps...
The small one I bought recently, refused to install the playstore however, so I am stuck again ;-)
Maybe a 5$ alarm should do...
@@ttlstar3553 believe me. I've tried it. Probably way before you and I can tell you it's completely black. Literally no light bleed. This can be seen even on old Samsung phones like the s4 and up. You have to make sure you are looking at a completely black image and not a dark grey
@@ttlstar3553 you could even just find an AMOLED black video right here on youtube
@@kylebelle246 I definitely used a full RGB black for my tests.
Nevertehless older OLED devices (an old Toshiba Tablet, and a Galaxy Note 4) did not turn off the pixels fully (very weak luminance).
Yeah LCD win 👍
Thanks for the comparison , niceee.. 👍
The S7 LCD seems to be better on the video no ?
Only if you dont care if theres Blacklight and if you dong want the screen too bright
Other than that, 7+ has better HDR Contrast, which is nice if you watch some Netflix HDR Movies
need to wait for Samsung to put their latest and greatest M11 panel (used in S21 Ultra)
2:41 made the decision for me, the colors looks better to me on the S7, just my opinion.
Same for me too. S7 colour is much better than S7+ I was thinking about to buy S7 in few weeks. My final decision is S7. How about yours?
@@mensoamrojewel3326 got the S7 for the display, I prefer it & the size, more portable for my coursework. Should be here by Monday!
@@opens11 what do you think about the S7 now when watching streaming services like Netflix? Does it show a good picture
@@demarj1055 absolutely!
lmao if the difference is so marginal that you cant see the difference even when side by side, you know that stuff is overhyped
glad i bought the S7 not S7+. the smaller form factor and don't have to worry about screen burn it, while the s7 screen still looks very great is a big plus.
Very clear video dear thank you very much
LCD ftw. After few years, No green lines, no dull colors, not expensive to replace.
LCD for longevity.
Every tablet has a lifetime of 5 years
So Lcd is just a cheaper option.
For the long run, it is not a big difference in price.
When the screen is broken you must replace it anyway
Watching this on my potato I see no difference
