Looking for a new android tablet and would like to prioritize on the screen quality and brightness regardless of price.

What’s the best by specifications and in your personal opinion?

Since this is looking for personal opinions, let’s move it to our opinion forum.

Moving thread from GQ to IMHO.

Brightness is generally user-adjustable (albeit as a trade-off with battery life), so that’s really up to you. As for quality, the best way to judge is to go to a store with lots of models and see what works for you. Best Buy usually has a good selection.

I think the answer to “best display” questions always starts with “Samsung,…”

By reputation, certainly, but I’ve seen better tablet displays by other manufacturers.

I’m with **Tim R. Mortiss** above. Put your hands on same demonstration displays and use your own calibrated MK I eyeballs.
