How does screen compare to the Samsung 7.7?

I've seen the 7.7 and think it's the nicest tablet screen. For those who have the Nexus 7, and have seen the Samsung 7.7, how would you describe the two screens for color, brightness, etc?

The 7.7 wins hands down. Better contrast, brighter colors, etc. The N7 screen is no slouch however. You got to ask, is the 7.7 worth the extra $350 + other weaknesses over the N7 just for the screen?

What if you already have a 7.7? Would it be a real upgrade?

I love the hardware on my 7.7... battery life is amazing... screen is really nice.. quality build... SD card and so on.

I think a dual core exynos can hold it's own against a budget quad core tegra 3. Obviously the tegra will be better but I don't think it's a blow out.

My main concern with the nexus is that huge bezel and the screen. I HATED the screen on the galaxy tab 2 7 inch... it was horribad.

I also have jellybean on my galaxy nexus so I know it's a big jump... I also realize that my 7.7 will probably never get jellybean as Samsung will probably call it a day once they finish pushing ICS.. and development for the 7.7 has been really lacking.

Anyway sorry for rambling.. bottom line.. Those who are going to the nexus from a 7.7 please give us some feedback. I'm tempted to make the switch.

Not sure I would switch from the Tab 7.7 to the Nexus 7. You have 2 cameras on the Tab and a micro SD slot. The only real down side to the comparison is the Tab has Honeycomb and the Nexus has Jellybean.
