Question: How can a 1024x600 screen show 1080p movies? That just doesn't make sense to me. Or maybe I'm missing something... Anyone?
Document: Sometimes screen wipes were pokey and the browsing was a bit slow, but it was really OK. But the more I used it, the wonkier it got with random crashes, inablility to load the Amazon Marketplace app. It also doesn't come with with Android Marketplace installed. So I tried TNT-lite,  and honestly I couldn't much tell the difference between that and the stock interface: maybe I'm missing something or botched the install as I also had a lot of trouble installing applications. So I went ahead and installed VEGAn 5.1.
But none of the pics I loaded into it are in HD...again maybe it's something that I'm not seeing or doing right. Well to make a long story short...Overall I'm happy, but I think that the OS on this machine will have to go...putting on my hackers cap...after dusting it off!
I'm very pleased with my purchase. The screen isn't as bad as everybody makes it out to be, either. To hear most of the reviewers here tell it, you won't be able to see anything at all unless you hold it a perfect parallel to your eyes. Not true; you just won't be able to see it as well if you tilt it too far. On the other hand, if you tilt it too far, nothing on the screen would make sense even if you could see it clearly. Nice color.
In reviewing the forum at XDA Developers, I have not found anyone posting they've bricked the G Tablet loading firmware. Again, the community there is VERY active and very supportive with lots of instruction and assistance. Rolling up your sleeves and customizing your tablet gives you a sense of satisfaction and makes it more your own ... something far easier to do on an open source platform (Android) vs. a proprietary one (Apple). If it is all a bit too intimidating, I would suggest you avoid all the Android tablets and buy an IPAD.
(assuming the hotel has a decent HDTV) My only complaint is the screen viewing angle isn't super wide. Slightly annoying when trying to show something to someone else or watch together, but a "negative" that I actually appreciate while sitting on an airplane next to a nosy neighbor. The other downside is that I'm now addicted to Angry Birds. (free with the update)To sum it up I was a skeptic when I ordered but open to trying it. Best purchase I made in the past 5 years. I'm extremely happy and wouldn't trade it.
Maybe this tablet is too thick compared with the Kindle. I then found a bag/pouch specifically made for this from Sears. It was only $6 so I couldn't pass it up. It is just a fabric bag with handles and a pocket for a power cable. While it will protect it, I would prefer something more solid. Something that will protect the screen. I just ordered another type of case on Ebay that is supposed to be compatible with 10" tablets. I'm hoping it will hold the tablet securely and have some sort of solid backing to protect the screen.Enough about accessories.
I'm a tech dabbler at best, and found the modding process to be very simple. The tablet itself has great hardware, expandable memory, and a very nice looking screen. My only complaint is the HDMI output is via a proprietary dock slot, and Viewsonic has yet to make the dock available domestically. Otherwise, A+ for this thing. But again, its not for the un-adventurous, not for someone who wants to be handed a device and told it has everything they need, and they can never make it different from anyone else's.
XDA_dot_com, slatedroid_dot_com to name a few.........FYI, the gTab is a GREAT tablet to use a custom ROM on, it's pretty hard to "brick" it. (break it/make it useless). Word of WARNING for anyone wanting to encode DVD movies to mpeg4/avi/etc... ONLY FROYO and ICE CREAM SANDWICH based ROM's have HARDWARE accelerated video playback. All my movies will NOT play on Vegan/Cyanogen ROM's because they do NOT have hardware acceleration drivers for video playback.
It's hard for 2 kids to see the screen if they have it in their laps. If they prop it up and sit further back it's fine. I didn't really get it for the kids though, so not too upset about it.Most games and apps I put on this work, but some didn't. A couple games would kind-of work and show big square blocks instead of the characters. I didn't put this in the "Cons" above because it wasn't a problem with most apps and shouldn't be a deciding factor for anyone to get this.
I mention this, because, although you don't need a degree in computers to enjoy the G Tablet, if you struggle getting Netflix to work on your blu-ray player or call Geek Squad first before trying to fix your computer yourself, them your potential for enjoying this device will be diminished. Okay, on to the good and bad...I'll start with the bad, because if you make it past these qualms, then you'll really enjoy the good. First, the screen. It's 1024x600 resolution is comparable to most budget tablets, and even name brand ones (Galaxy Tab) and the most popular ones (iPad and iPad 2 have a 1024x800 resolution because they are 4:3 rather than 16:9, but they offer the same pixels per inch).
Answer: IT DOESN'T ! It allows the display to show video encoded as 1080p but does not display it as 1080p (1920x1080). it isn't even truelly 720p(1280x720) The display is 1080x600 so a conversion of the data from 1920x1080 is performed to downscale the video to 1080x600. On a device this small you may be able to notice the difference. But it will be quite watchable. The difference of 1080p to 720p to lesser formats are like the difference between lossless audio and mp3 for music files, most people don't notice what's missing (lost) and enjoy it all the same.
