LG G Pad II 10" Android Tablet
- Super-sharp 10.1" 1920x1200 display will spoil you for lower-res tablets
- 10 hours of battery life: pretty good
- 2.26 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800: not too shabby
- 16GB storage plus you can add a 64GB SD card for 20 bucks: we’ll take it
- But that display, holy crap, that display
- Model: V940N (Wow, a five-character unique model number for a finicky item like a tablet: that’s a true achievement in model numbering. Huzzah! And huzzah again!)
Screening Process
OK, so you’ve decided to get a tablet. An Android tablet. An Android tablet by a real brand like LG instead of Zuwu or CyberCyber or Poofek. An Android tablet by LG available for a much less than sticker price.
How will you know when you’ve found “the one”? What feature is the dealmaker or dealbreaker? What is worth paying for and what is a nonessential bell and/or whistle?
Or, to put it another way, how can you display your resolution for a clear definition of what essential spec your top picks’ll have?
Those tortured puns are saying: get a good screen.
Like the 10" 1920 x 1200 WUXGA screen on this LG 10" G Pad II. Whatever you do with a tablet, there’s one thing you’re almost always doing: looking at it. It should be a pleasure and a wonder and a joy to behold. If you’re spending more than absolute rock bottom, a good screen is what you should be spending it on.
Not that this G Pad II is a slouch otherwise. The Amazon reviewers tend to say, yeah, works great, fine - that screen tho! “Cheap, fast, great screen resolution,” says one. “Yes it works smoothly and the screen is crisp and bright,” quoth another.
With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2.26 GHz processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB SSD drive, it more than holds its own under the hood. The screen, though, is where it shines. No pun intended that time. Seriously, that one would be bad even for us. And we’re the ones who decided “Screening Process” was a clever title.
