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… 👀)

    I usually use my laptop but sometimes my phone. Both work fine. Phone is a low midrange, I guess, Moto G Stylus 5g, 2023 model. Laptop is an old 15 inch Thinkpad. Add a cheap plug-in or bluetooth speaker since better sound will make a big difference.
