This is, by far, my biggest gripe with this tablet... actually, probably my only gripe TBH. It's SO apparent to me, but other people seem to genuinely not even notice it. It's like this panel wasn't designed to be used primarily in portrait mode or something. I'm also a person who is highly sensitive to FPS dips and low refresh rates and complain about those when other people don't even appreciate a difference, so I guess it's just not a glaring issue for most people. I decided to keep the tab in spite of this, because most of what I'm doing is landscape videos/games and reading manga in portrait (which is a right/left left/right swiping instead of scrolling), and the only time this really becomes and issue is when I'm scrolling through FB feed or something.
