Does galaxy note 10.1 cause less eye strain?
And if the answer is yes, is it specific to this galaxy 10.1 or is it the case for all WQXGA screens? what about galaxy note pro 12.2?
Thanks. |

Compared to what?
Bigger screen means you can use a larger font and see the same amount of text. I guess that can lower eye strain. Higher DPI makes for crisper text. That helps. I think when it comes to reading text, any good decent tablet is about as good (or as bad) as any other. You are still looking at a glowing piece of glass. |

this may or may not be answering your question, but i have a 7" (1920x1200) and a 10" (2560x1600) tablet, and i find that a nice low-strain setup is to have white text on a black background. basically, night mode. i use it during the day (indoors). both tablets' resolution specs give a pixel density of 300dpi-plus, so as far as sharpness / crispness they're equal. one just has more area than the other.
compared to my kobo glo (black text on white/gray background), there's no big difference in eye strain. then again, i don't read for more than 2 hours at a time anyways. i gotta eat, pee, stretch, so invariably i have 5-10min breaks every so often anyways. |

I have a 10.1 Galaxy Tab and while night mode is very good, I find an app called Screen Dimmer even better. Much easier on my eyes, which really don't work all that well nowadays. You can get it at Google Play, so far the free version has been sufficient to my needs. The paid version has extra settings and different colored overlays, which might also be worth your while.

oh, yeah - my normal daytime brightness is 50%, and at night it's at 0%. there is no way i could look at it with brightness set at 100%.
i'll try that Filter Your Screen app, though! thx |
