Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

On the plus side, this tablet is fast, and supports most of the apps listed in the "Google Play Store". Transfers from the tablet to my Windows 10 computer via USB cable were easy and quick. It is noticeably faster performance wise than my four year old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1'). It did not crash once - the tablet's performance was very stable. However, after using the new Galaxy Tab A for a while I noticed that there was an issue with the display screen. Specifically, when I used the tablet in the "landscape" orientation, the top and bottom margins of the display were noticeably dimmer than the center of the screen. Also the lower right corner of the display had a slightly brownish tint when viewing a white page. My older Samsung tablet does not have this issue - the backlight intensity of the old display is very uniform across the screen. So, thinking that this might be a unique problem with this particular tablet, I went to the local "yellow and blue big box" store, to take a look at the Galaxy Tab A tablets they had on display there. What I saw surprised me - their Galaxy Tab A demo tablets had the exact same uneven screen illumination problems that the tablet from Amazon has! This problem showed up on both the 10 inch, and also the 8 inch tablets. Once I realized that this problem was an issue with many of the Samsung tablets, not just the one I ordered from Amazon, I requested and received a refund from Amazon after I returned the tablet. It is kind of a shame that this tablet didn't work out for me - other than the screen backlight problem, this tablet performs very well. But for me the display issue was a real deal-killer.
