I have a phone that has an OLED type display and has a high contrast ratio and HDR. I don’t wanna spend “flagship phone” amount of money on a tablet, so I was wondering if a cheap tablet would improve viewing experience because of the bigger screen or would it be worse since its LCD and low contrast ratio. By “videos” I mean mostly for Youtube, but sometimes TV Shows, and occasionally movies.

(And no I don’t want something like a TV, too big, too much hassle for casually watching videos)

(P.S. I notice a lot of reddit threads get very judgy and poor-shaming when people mention “movie” and “phone”/“tablet” in the same sentence… 👀)

    Alright, here’s a wildcard.

    You want a laptop 2-in-1.

    Yes, it’ll go above your tablet budget, but it’ll remove the need for a laptop for productivity, so you can cover your media needs and your productivity needs and keep your phone for phone things.

    Those start pretty cheap these days. Framework has one starting at 600. Microsoft’s options start at 700. Sure, if you want OLED and HDR you’re looking at four digits, but that’s how much a high end phone would cost these days and you’ll get a very solid laptop out of the deal as well.
