You're gonna need to give us more info than that buddy.
Budget would be an excellent start.

very sorry... I honestly don't know there's so many to choose from but I want good graphics/video for watching films on like I say not sure about sim/card would like it to have a SD card slot and budget £800 / £1000
 
Tab s8 ultra 5g
It's last gen but still very powerful and has everything you'll need including as 14.6 inch screen.
Great value going pre-owned too.
Much faster than current gen mid-range tablets (eg S9 FE+)

Great I'll have a look on the web/Internet thank you for your time and suggestion
 
I would grab an Samsung Active tab 4 Pro.
Great 10 inch tablet. Fully waterproof and rugged.

It's an enterprise tablet so you get a longer software support as well.

the s9 is a better choice only if you definitely don't need/want 5g
you did state earlier that you're still uncertain about wanting a sim card so getting the s8 ultra 5g would give you the option to have it (the s9 ultra 5g is >£1300)
 
I've also been thinking/looking at purchasing a large tablet...The Samsung S9 Ultra looks amazing both in size and quality in-store. Some people mention that the screen is rather reflective as it has a glossy finish to it and also the Oled technology can be a little stressful to the eyes to some users when compared to the S8's LCD screen.

Good honest review from an artist point of view here:

Some questions if I may:

Would you buy a screen protector for it?
Keyboard/cover protector
/stand?
Will there be a new model coming out this year/ worth hanging on for discounts?
Best deals and safest place to buy from?

Forgot to ask the most important question.
Any issues when using the tablet in one's nesting area (sitting up-ish inbed)?

Hi mate. I'm not technical minded... as I post on here a lot. If I have problems? but I brought the tab S8 ultra... it's absolutely brilliant... I got a SH keyboard off Ebay so yes I would recommend the tab S8

I'd certainly buy a screen protector; a decent glass one is only around £10-£15
I always buy a Keyboard cover for any tablet be that a Surface Pro, Android or iPad Pro; I just feel they are far more productive with one. It also adds a kickstand to the tablet on the Samsungs.
Samsung tends to update their tablets on a 15-16 month rather than annual schedule so I wouldn't expect an S10 until Q3/Q4 - there are regular discounts and offers if buying direct from Samsung
 
Have the s9+ and it's fantastic.
Have been using it with the keyboard cover and whilst it's decent it's not worth the 359(?) list price. I only have it as it was free when I ordered.

Haven't been using a screen protector, but I never did with any of my devices and haven't had any issues.

In terms of reflectiviness, yes it's fairly glossy ,but goes plenty bright!

I haven't bought anything non led for the last 5 years. Would not purchase something with LCD, unless I did not consume media on it.

Thank you all for your responses info and words of advice. I will go have another play around in-store between the various Samsung tablets, including the S8. I will defo check on the price of that keyboard from Samsung...seems insanely high

Does the glass screen protector have any detrimental effects on using the stylus?
 
Also to note that Samsung Galaxy Official Slim Book Cover Keyboard for Tab S9 Ultra, Black can be had for £135
