This is a bit of a rich claim given that the LG G3 has the same resolution in a different shape screen, but in a smaller device.

That said, the Tab S does look good with the bronze coloured keyboard.

From what I've heard, the latest generation of Samsung displays have some of the best color accuracy on the market, which is a huge departure from their past efforts.

Still, it would be nice if @gtone339 could do something besides copy/pasting Samsung's marketing materials and, you know, provide actual discussion. I see event promoters do a better job of not looking like part of a marketing machine :rolleyes:

Oh grow up would you!! :dunce:

Your just a nuisance aren't you?

Tell me truth if you just hate Samsung's product, or should I call a mod to shut up off?

I'm not here to promote Samsung's products..... :P
 
What a confusing use of smilies.





Anyway, the Tab S 10 looks pretty nice. Makes me feel kinda silly for buying my Sony, but oh well.

Did you not hear me just say they've turned around their screen quality? The S-pen implementation is nice and I'll be considering a 10 inch tab with a high res display along side a Surface Pro down the road, depending on how vector art applications are supported.

Call me a nuisance and tell me to grow up all you want, I'm not copy and pasting promotional materials with zero discussion. And feel free to threaten to "call a mod to shut up off," whatever the hell that means.

And do I hate Samsung? No. Do I feel their products are bloated with useless features and have aesthetics from 5 years ago? Yes. The "gold" backing with faux perforated leather looks like a Band-Aid, seriously.

I imagine being able to alter the colour temperature has helped a lot there. Unless I dreamed that was an option instead of it being a real thing.

Why do you always reply & try to come up some type of retort back to my messages?

I don't see you saying the same thing over at the Console & PC gaming threads either.

Heck, even the admin, who posts up 'GRAN TURISMO' updates & news on the main page as well. I don't see Jordan promoting the game as a personal agenda, I don't see myself either.

So please, stay away from the threads that I open up, and I just know that you have some sort of personal grudge against me. Just leave.
 
It's less of a grudge and more of a "Do you have a will of your own or are you some exotic Samsung version of IBM's Watson?"

The admin created the site and has put countless hours into running it and writing content about Gran Turismo for over a decade. You're posting Samsung's marketing materials with no other content.

Anyway, I'll certainly be keeping an eye on the new range of tablets that come out in the next few months. I'm a bit out of the loop on what's been going on in the tablet market, it's pretty incredible that 1440/1600p is so commonplace on these things now.

Why do you fail at understanding what a forum is for?

Because I don't see such vapid use of copy and paste over there, nor do I spend as much time in that section.

He also writes his own content, rather than copy and pasting a few images and a couple sentences of promo materials.

The only grudge I have is that you contribute nothing to these threads. At all. Hell, I've actually discussed Samsung's products more than you have with your copy and pasting. Just a touch ironic, right?

If anyone seems to be holding a grudge, it is you for the fact I've been brutal on most of Samsung's products over the years because they have had many faults. Faults you are incapable of addressing because you refuse to contribute an actual opinion to the discussion.

I have the new Tab S, the 8.4 inch version and a Galaxy Mega phone. Both have displays that, in my opinion are better than any other manufacturer today. They are absolutely leaps and bounds better then any Samsung product in the past. I know displays get better over time, but they appear to have taken a quantum leap in terms of image quality.

And now they went back to basics with the Galaxy S5. You should take a look at the device for yourself, not by judging by it's pictures on the interweb.

Anyway, I opened this thread just for peoples interest on this particular product, not rant or create a fanboyism out of it. As a electronic enthusiast, I do in fact like Samsung products, well in the smartphone category.

I don't see myself posting hateful messages on any Apple-related products, nor any threads here on gtplanet.

I'm keeping an eye on you.....

End of ranting Saga. Good bye.

Back on topic, Samsung just uploaded this vid of the Galaxy Tab S on their youtube channel:



It will be out next month (July). :)

The admin created the site and has put countless hours into running it and writing content about Gran Turismo for over a decade.

You're posting Samsung's marketing materials with no other content.

Yes, I'm aware of that, that what makes this fansite so great! :)

What content? You want more detail of this? You can just search it up on the interweb. You don't have to rely on me. ;)
 
All they were saying is rather than just post the marketing material you could also strike up a conversation about it. Do you like it? What do you like? Are you planning on buying it? You know, that sort of thing.
 
@gtone339, your OP was nothing more than an ad for Galaxy Tab S. You couldn't even be bothered to contribute anything of your own. Now, I get enough ads rammed down my throat on a daily basis as it is, I don't need more.

From what I've heard, the latest generation of Samsung displays have some of the best color accuracy on the market, which is a huge departure from their past efforts.
Tell me, @gtone339, where is the hating of Samsung in that post? Why did you feel it necessary to belittle @Azuremen and call him a nuisance?


Still, it would be nice if @gtone339 could do something besides copy/pasting Samsung's marketing materials and, you know, provide actual discussion. I see event promoters do a better job of not looking like part of a marketing machine :rolleyes:
I heartily agree.

You sure could have fooled me.

Note: I'm not even a Smartphone journalist, nor a reviewer, just a casual gtplanet user, I just want to add a new topic with something that interests people out there.

Anyway, here's what I would casually-contribute to this thread that I've opened this month:




Tell me, @gtone339, where is the hating of Samsung in that post? Why did you feel it necessary to belittle @Azuremen and call him a nuisance?

Because there is a incident that happened when I opened a thread, last year, about the Galaxy S4's announcement, and then he began to nit-pick on every-single aspects of the product, like for instance, it's still made of Uninspiring Plastic, and that user touts the display as a over-saturated screen, unlike conventional LCD screen displays.

Overall that's his opinion, but to me it sounds like a typical hater, so yes I don't appreciate the blatantly input from users like that.

Had to report him to a mod for it.

You sure could have fooled me.

Nope, don't try to become that user. ;)

Hope this thread doesn't become like the S4 thread I opened up last year.

Yes, if we wanted info on this product we could just search the interweb...which I'm sure is what people interested in this have done. Soooo, what was the point of this thread, if you're just going to tell people to google things?

The jump in quality is massive. And reviewers tend to agree.

I'm such a hater I'm considering buying a Samsung device since they've figured out their display technology and the S-Pen provides a great option for an artist and designer. Other issues have kept me from jumping the gun, such as the housing quality on current tablets from them and other minor details.

And oh noes, you reported me to a mod?! Apparently I never got the memo. I wonder if it is because I'm completely in line with what a forum is designed for.

Hope this thread doesn't become like the S4 thread I opened up last year.

What is amusing is you keep commenting on how people are reacting to your posts while failing to discuss the products you are so defensive of. Hell, while I've been nit picking your beloved company to death, other members and I have actually discussed their increase in quality as of late.

We don't want detail, we want discussion. Which you've yet to provide on the actual topic of this thread, or any other threads that you've made regarding Samsung. If you weren't a member contributing elsewhere on the forum, I could have easily seen this thread being removed as advertising since it isn't much more than that. Partly why no one bothered to reply for over a month, in case you didn't figure that out.

And finally, I'm about as far as removed from an Apple fanboy as a person can be.
