Display Screen Mode - Which is best?

[stuman74]

On the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, which screen mode is best? Dynamic, Standard, or Movie? Does one burn battery more than others? Also, how high do you run your brightness on the slider?

I currently have my display set to standard and about 25% brightness (under the "oc" in "Location" in the top pull-down)...seems pretty bright to me!

I always use Dynamic because that seems to make things pop out a bit more, but Standard would be the one that uses the least power since it's not adapting anything (less processing, less power). As for brightness, I always leave my tablet on Auto, but if you feel that's too much, just set it to as low as you can handle for power saving or as high as it's comfortable for movie viewing.

Thanks. I'm going to try some combinations. Sounds like with Standard, the percent brightness can probably be set a little lower.

I found this link and per their assessment, the Movie mode had the most accurate colors.

Yeah, I've seen those tests too...and I just never understand them. Apparently what yields the 'most accurate colors' also means that it yields the most boring, subdued images. To me, Movie Mode makes things a bit darker, that's why I didn't like it. And Standard a biiiiit yellowish. Dynamic seemed to pop things up a little more.
