I want to show people photographs of completed projects to inspire and help sell future projects.

Which tablet would have the best screen to show photos in their best possible light?
 
Samsung's S series tablets is also an alternative if you want the Android side. But yes I'll have to agree iPads will have the better calibrated displays if that's important.
 
Samsung S8 Ultra without question. I moved from an iPad Pro 12.9 and would not go back.
It also comes with the S-Pen in the box which is super useful for photo editing unlike the iPad which is a +£100 addition if needed.

Interesting - I would rather stick with android but photo quality on screen is what I am after and most have said the iPad pro wins at this
 
Entirely dependant upon your usage.
In terms of screen 'quality' the S8 Ultra is superior due to the S-AMOLED display vs IPS, its also better for media consumption due to the aspect ratio and its much larger 15.6" screen vs 12.9".

The iPad's m2 CPU is much more powerful though and the battery life is superior but I find editing and viewing photo's a much more pleasing experience on the S8 Ultra however the thing that killed the iPad for me was how iOS managed its file system. I hated it and as windows / android user it feels like having your hands tied behind your back.

Ah - thats kinda where I am at - much more comfortable with windows / android file system
 
S8 Ultra is a beast, picked one up in the sale and used my 15% birthday bonus from samsung. Absolute pleasure using it as a media device.

Do you find it too big? Or no?

I'm looking to upgrade my A7 10.4". With enhanced trade in and work voucher it works out as £390 for the S8+ 12" or £485 for the S8U 14.6". Not sure which to get. Will only be used as a media device as well just watching stuff.
 
S8U for deffo at that price, have regretted it for a second since I'd changed from the iPad Pro 12.9 and if I'd gone S8+ I'm positive I would have been wishing I'd gone with the Ultra.

It's a big tablet but I love it for watching films , mooching round net. Multitasking is sweet because of big screen. Glad I went for it as I was looking at the plus aswell. Came from a tab A8 which was dire.

Samsung's screens have been calibrated for donkey's years. You just need to select the correct profile.
 
I've had the samsung tab S7+ since it came out. Stunning display that's a perfect size for showing photos on
 
I looked at the new ipads in store and used them, same with the ultra. Samsung screen was.more pleasing to me. Don't like the restrictions that comes with Apple.
