When it comes to the 'SCREEN', the shortcomings of the display seem to be:
...
- Very High screen reflections. Up to 53% higher than the competition.
- Text is not sharp.
- Low color gamut.
Has anyone experienced any of these concerns? Better yet,compared and contrasted the mini with the Kindle Fire.
I've read the similar reviews and/or complaints and here's my $.02 on the subject.
First you need to see first hand the screen before fully judging the mini.
I've not noticed the color gamut, I'm happy with how images/colors are represented.
As for the text, its about the same as my iPad 1 but worse the my Kindle touch (which is to be expected). One major use of the mini for me is reading and I'm able to do that problem free for extended periods. So to text point, I'm not incurring any issues and while this is quite subjective I'm happy with it. I will say I have rather poor eye sight (nearly blind in one eye) and so the text is not causing me any further issues
The screen is quite reflective, I'm not sure why is so much more then its competitors, as I use it, I find I tilt it slightly and it solves the problem.
