Samsung Bashes iPad's Screen, Lack of Multitasking in New Galaxy Tab S Ads

AMOLED screens just look bad, in my opinion. I had a look around at TMo the other day to see if the latest AMOLEDs looked any better than before, but nope. The LCD HTC One m8 screen (and Apple screens) were just way more pleasing.
That said, it would be interesting to see what would happen if Apple tried an OLED screen. If anyone can make it work, it would be them..
(And I also appreciate the ability of LCDs to get super bright under sunlight while keeping image integrity, unlike OLED.)

There should be no reason to jailbreak at all if Apple were giving their customers what they wanted from a software perspective or allowing 3rd parties to do it for them.
Furthermore, to say that someone doesn't want the option of multitasking on the same screen on a tablet, as one does everyday on a typical computer screen, is ignorant at best, and of the highest fanboy BS.
'Look elsewhere' to potential customers or losing your legacy customer base does not feed the Apple share price, it degrades it. I wouldn't expect you to know the difference.
Information
It's not that customers can't buy Samsung products, but they should know. If a customer wants a "Samsung-free" product, they should be able to find it clearly in the marketplace. Just a simple SF on the device.

If your bothered about buying "samsung free" devices you should go and get therapy.
You know what is funny? Not only is the pathetic Samsung Mobile sinking Samsung Electronics position (they are going down), but recently they told, the CEO of Samsung's Display, that not a single OEM was interested in their AMOLED screens.
The ones who tried AMOLED screens settled for other companies instead of Samsung, and even now, they don't care about AMOLED .
Do you want to know why? Because those panels sucked until this generation.
Now that Samsung got them right, other technologies are starting to take off, and Samsung is going down in sales.
There's no reason to buy their products.
But more than one app is a nice feature and I would love to have that on an iPad. It's just a shame that Samsung's implementation is laggy, buggy, only works with some apps, etc.
But it was expected, they are Samsung.

Refused? Possibly. The SJ era has ended, check iOS8
What does iOS8 have to do with external storage options. That's software. I'm talking about hardware you nob.
Are most iOS iPhones and iPads buggy? If so, yes you are correct, but the answer is no. Restore your devices, check what stuff you may have on that are causing the issues. When all iOS 7 devices have the issue, then state your case
I've got a brand new iPhone 5s as well as the newest ipad. And although they don't suffer from the same issues, they both have bugs. You sound like a Windows fanboy stating that Windows is a perfect system if you keep your malware and virus software up to date. There is no such thing.

Anyone else bothered by how ugly that baby is? =/

Samsung rightfully does both.
- the rMini screen is awful WRT color reproduction.
- Samsung's true windowed multitasking is vastly superior to Apple's non-windowed semi-multitasking.

Samsung... Allowing you to not spend quality time with your kid.
You give the kid the full screen. You look at your phone for updates.
Or let them watch it on your 70" Sharp TV, while you watch on iPad.
What, are Samsung consumers poor?

2nd ad is totally rubbish. If the director of a movie doesn't want you to see someone in the screen, then he doesn't want you to see him the screen.
Boosting contrast just makes it unnatural and fatiguing.
Same with boosting highs and lows in audio.
It is nice for 10 minutes, but in the long run, you want something that is comfortable to look at and listen too.
Multi-user yes
Multiuser is a great thing - the Fire rocks in this regard. However, multiple user at same time - LOL useless. This was dumb on TVs and is dumb on devices. Stupid gimmick. Wish Apple would adopt the first, I guess they will probably adopt the second because now they chase Samsungs dumb features.

Samsung execs: "we have these features. Make ads that make them seem important"
Apple Execs: "this is what is important. Make the product do this"
Samsung marketing team "who cares about split screens?" ... "Babies"

You should check out display mates review on the gs5 amoled screen.it's by far the best display they have ever tested and is brighter then any lcd screen they have ever tested also.
Colors were also spot on perfect and white ballance was near perfect out doing any lcd screen they have tested also.
This same Gen tech from the gs5 is used in the new tablets and are nothing like the older Gen oled screens
Or because perhaps IPS screens might be cheaper and/or easier to make?
I find it hard to believe they just did not like them.
----------
If a movie director does not want someone to be seen in a scene, he would not get an actor to dress in black and stand in the total darkness so there was no need for him to be in the scene.
Remember, movies are supposed to be viewed almost in the dark, so, if you are watching the movie not in the dark, then the image needs to be boosted to give you the same effect the director was looking for.
I have both an iPad Air and the new Tab S and I can honestly say the Samsung display is in a whole different league. But thats about it, a one trick pony if you will. In all other areas I consider the iPad better.
Either way; commercials like this are silly.

1. There's only currently two forms of tv: OLED and LCD. Plasma sellers are abandoning ship (This also includes Samsung), and new technologies like SED and FED were abandoned years ago. So what 'new tech' are you babbling about?
2. Moving a record 13 million tablets in Q1 of 2014 doesn't look like Samsung is sinking:

What DOES look like it's sinking, is a certain tablet business by a certain company named Apple that's sales went down to 16.35m for Q2:

I've read the review and I've seen the device. It might test well but it just doesn't look pleasing to my eye. I've been using calibrated monitors for the last 4 years so I know what I like. Even the DisplayMate review says the contrast and saturation are still too high. I don't know if it's intrinsic to the technology or if Samsung and the rest just prefer oversaturated, over-contrasty images. All I know is I haven't seen an OLED display that gets it right, yet.
I'm sorry I just don't buy it.if you tested a gs5 and set the display mode to cinema in the settings all the over saturated colors are gone.you also say you read the review and then bash amoled for not being bright in sunlight when the gs5 is the brightest freaking phone that has ever been tested.why would you bother posting the hate towards amoled and samsung s newest screens if you knew all about the gs5 test?
We have 2 iPhone 5 at my work and a few gs5 and we put them side by side and went on Google and on both phones the white looked more pure and white on the samsungs then on the iphones.
Contrast ratio is the number one selling point on screens and is the reason I bought the zt60 plasma and it's by far the best tv you can buy or could of bought since they are done and out of production now.
Deep blacks is what it's all about and the samsungs got that down along with a pretty near perfect color balance
LOL. The irony in this post is hilarious. So, you're comparing Samsung Q1 tablet sales to Apple Q2 tablet sales huh?
Why not just compare Q2 to Q2? What do we have then?

2 year low in profits with decrease in sales for tablets and smartphones.
