iPad Air comes with a more power-efficient, brighter and less reflective Retina Display compared to the iPad 4, but Kindle Fire HDX still grabbed the top spot in a display shootout with the new iPad and Nexus 10, according to display experts at DisplayMate. From DisplayMate: The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and Apple iPad Air are both even more impressive on another performance level because in addition they deliver top notch picture quality, absolute color accuracy, and accurate image contrast that is not only much better than any other Tablet, they are also much better than most HDTVs, laptops, and monitors. In fact, with some minor calibration tweaks they both would qualify as studio reference monitors. For proof, see the measurements in the Brightness and Contrast and Colors and Intensities sections, plus the plotted data in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3. Most impressive of all is the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, which has leapfrogged into the best performing Tablet display that we have ever tested, significantly out-performing the iPad Air in Brightness, Screen Reflectance, and high ambient light contrast, plus a first place finish in the very challenging category of Absolute Color Accuracy. The report reveals that the Kindle Fire HDX comes with a high performance Low Temperature Poly Silicon (LTPS) LCD, and the iPad Air comes with IGZO Metal Oxide LCDs, which according to DisplayMate is significantly better than the a-Si amorphous Silicon LCDs being used in most current displays. I must admit I was quite surprised to see the Kindle Fire HDX top the display shootout, it remains to be seen if Google’s next generation Nexus 10, which is expected to be launched later this month, will be able to top the Kindle Fire HDX and iPad Air in the display shootout.
