How are the viewing angles? I'm looking to move up from an antique tablet pc with an atrociously narrow range, and thus, unreliable color.

A tablet PC isn't bad for running something like Photoshop if your going surface 2 and if your going to do a lot of 3d you need something from like razor. Bottom line your spending thousands and your limited to a screen 1.5 or 2 times smaller than my yinnova. If your not planning to take it on the go this is way better.

It's a little tight, but not unreasonably so. I tend to lean over the tablet as I draw, so I have no issues. I have noticed that when I lean back, it begins to darken, but I don't draw from those angles.

Hello Michael,I think one need to play with the different viewing angles and see what works best. Sometimes I switch angles because of wanting to change my sitting position, other times, it depends on what application I'm actually using wit hthe product. As was mentioned already, a monitor mountign arm works wonders in finding that perfect viewing angle.- C.

It is a bit narrow but you can compensate for this easily.1. Make sure you have your colors, contrast and brightness calibrated via the menu. I had mine "red-shifted " when viewed at funny angles and as soon as I calibrated it to a balanced RGB setting it looked much more natural.2. Try setting it lower than you work and make use of the reclining stand. I work over the tablet most of the time anyway.

they aren't perfect but they are definitely more than adequate. You should look into the new 22" model. Its supposed to have better viewing angles. I have my yiynova attached to a monitor arm to give me a wide range of motions and the viewing angles don't bother me at all.

I have the 40 inch version and the picture looks great when viewing from an angle. No loss of color or richness. (I did have to adjust the preset colors definitions to my liking, but that was regardless of the viewing angle.).

You can see but not as well... Just adjust the brightness and use an anti-glare screen protector, it'll definitely help. I guess that's an issue with tablets. Otherwise it's awesome.

yeah the glare is bad. I'd check out what Tom said cause I did a quick search and found several listed for specific laptops/brands but not for this one. Hope you find one that works.

Send them back, I purchase 2 and the resolution is horrible. I had to tilt in a particular angle just to see the videos, and games. Instead I purchased samsung galaxy tab 2, acer, also asus which were awesome buys. Higher resolution and worth every penny.

The static contrast ratio is 3,000:1 instead of 2,000:1 as well. That's one of the best I've seen for LCD.

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

T.C. Thanks so much for a really thorough and helpful post. I'm far from a videophile, given my age (58) and thus waning eyesight, so as long as I see the screen and it has good clarity, that's enough. The additional bells and whistles would constitute decreasing returns to scale for me given my eyes being unable to appreciate the greater sharpness.

I love it for gaming. The refresh rate might be too much for really fast games, but I have no problems with CS:GO. All my games look amazing with very lush colors and good range when it comes to blacks and whites. It's perfect if you plan for multi-monitor situations like eyefinity too.

The picture from an angle is more than acceptable. My TV is setup on the short wall of a rectangular room, so it's not really an issue for me, but having just stood and watched for a while on the side of the tv, it's not that bad. The picture/colors don't degrade much until you reach an almost unwatchable angle, so it's almost a non-issue. Aside from the issues I've had with the networking rendering the TV useless, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this tv again.

Viewing angles are limited. Color accuracy is above average, but not what you would get on the iPad or Kindle Fire. The screen display quality is average when compared to other tablets on the market. If display quality is the highest priority, then this tablet is not for you. I own an iPhone, iPad and the A97. The A97 was purchased as an extra tablet to manage email, read financial news updates and manage my Google docs.

It has one bad viewing angle. When holding it horizontally, with the volume button on top, when tilted back, it screen does get darker. But just flip it and it's fine. The battery life in not great. But it is not bad by any means. If I just read from kindle all day, up to 3 days. Seriously best tab you'll get for your money. But don't expect to spend 120, or whatever on this and start tryin to compare it to the surface pro 3... Once again, around 100.

The viewing angle is really wide (both vertically & horizontally) on mine. I see no problem with your request.

David, yes, however, i have the monitor landscape and very low. It is ok, but because i have it so low the tilt is not really what i would like. i am not going to return the unit, because it is better than what i had, but the issue is that since it does not tilt far enough, the color on the monitor is weak. what i need is for the tilt to be be a greater angle as if i put my hand under the bottom and pulled it to me. i need that angle to be increased. if it where higher that would be an improved color, but i need it to be amost touching the desk. I use it aside a laptop and that is the reason it needs to be so low.Paul David, yes, however, i have the monitor landscape and very low.

Thanks - this is consistent with some concerns that I developed about LCDs while researching TVs. My set will go into the corner of a large room, with some of the seating off-angle. I just ordered a plasma set (Pioneer PDP-5020FD).

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

While we don't have to view this television at an angle (it's in the kitchen, right next to our counter eating area), I did a side view trial just to see how the picture presented itself. While there is some loss of clarity at extreme angles, it's no worse (& maybe better) than other sets that I've seen. You'd really have to be at an extreme angle to be unhappy with an otherwise excellent picture.
