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 second this, a monitor is useful in so many more ways! It turns your phone into a whole computer. If you use Android, you can install a terminal and be able to do all kinds of cool stuff on it.

    I put a computer monitor with an HDMI to usb C adapter in my kitchen so I can plug in my phone and put on MST3K while cooking.

    It’s also useful because you can use it as an external monitor for another computer.
