Videos look equally good on all of them. Reading while browsing the web is a bit easier on the full HD one but not much.

The only time the difference really matters a lot is when reading comic books, something I don't do much of. The full HD makes a big difference there.

I'm always surprised when I see people say that videos look good on lower resolution tablets. My hubby recently got a Samsung Tab S2 9.7 tablet. I took a look at a video he was watching and the first thing I asked him was doesn't this video come in HD? It was a very noticeable difference compared to my Samsung Tab S 8.4 which has 359 ppi. His has 264 ppi and I didn't think it looked good for videos.
