I've been reading on some new and not so new reviews from sites like gsmarena, phonearena, androidcentral, android authority engadget etc. And all the reviews have been glowing except for the verge well because it's theverge lol. Do u guys agree with most of the reviews?
I agree about the display, to an extent. The black are great on Netflix and the movie Gravity (Galaxy Gift), but when you watch streaming services from Cable provider, (Comcast Xfinity), the blacks have extreme Pixelation and ghosting. It gets so bad that it's annoying and ruins the whole viewing experience.
isnt that comcast's fault though?
So far no alarmingly bad review so im excited to pick this baby up along with a gear fit

It shouldn't be. The movies and TV shows are broadcast in HD. it works fine on my Asus Infinity Transformer. I read that the Netflix and youtube apps were optimized for this device.
So I have a feeling all other media will suffer.

ah i see well lets hope that gets tackled too in newer reviews but i remember josh from android authority watched breaking bad on it and he seemed to not have any issues.
by the way, how do you like the color scheme? gsmarena says its kinda gaudy but in android central forums they say the bronze is nice
I just streamed the latest Star Trek movie on Netflix and it was absolutely gorgeous. Same thing with Avengers. Remember you need to give the player about 30 seconds to buffer before judging the picture quality. Once the full HD buffers it looks amazing. HD YouTube content is also glorious.

The Verge can write an entire review talking about how perfect and amazing something is then end up docking it two stars because it ISN'T APPLE. CNET is same way. According to these guys you would think the single most important feature of a tablet is what the back of the damned thing is made of.
I love the tab but hate the gold/gray....better than white...but why the tacky gold?????
As I said in my previous post. Youtube and Netflix have been optimized for this device. So the picture is going to be amazing. It's other streaming and video services that may suffer. Such as my Xfinity Go App, Crackle . All the blacks gets extreme Pixelation and ghosting. It's horrible

At first I thought the same about the gold but now I don't even notice it. I have a white 10.5 with titanium book cover and honestly it looks pretty good.
Remember this tablet is made by Asians and Asians love gold. I think they did it to get away from the "cheap materials" moniker. Also to make it look different than the Pro line.

Watching ESPN waiting on the game, the picture is gorgeous. Go USA!
this ipad lover gave it a very good review :highfive:

The reviews that "count" are the ones from real users at retail sites like BestBuy. Right now the Tab S 10.5 is getting 4.9 out of 5 stars with about 40 or so reviews in. If you know BestBuy, scoring anywhere close to a perfect 5.0 is rare.
Most of these guys that do reviews for tech sites have an altar to iPad in their bedroom at home. And yeah, TheVerge hates everything, lol. I've seen them give a review with nothing but superlatives thoughout then in their conclusion call the device "disappointing" and give it 7.5 stars. They enjoy being snobs.

Nope, it's Samsung GPU not processing the HD video properly. It's not only comcast but there are other websites that's showing this on the tab s too. My iPad displays all the same video just fine. I hope it's just software and Samsung will have a fix in it's next update because I'm a tv show buff and this is not acceptable for such a beautiful amoled tablet.
Yeah and the verge knock a star off Samsung tabs for being "too pricey" when there the same price as the iPad which has less specs but they never mention the price on them. Isheel

So far on YouTube, Netflix and Hulu my 10.5 GPU has performed flawlessly. That leads me to believe this problem is only a software patch away as the GPU is well up to the task with many popular streaming sites.
Quote from the Men's Journal review above:
Compared with the iPad mini with Retina display, the Tab S - even with a higher resolution - never felt sluggish. We put it to the test by reading the entire book Unbroken using the Google Play app. The result? No raging headache. Even movies looked better: The Liam Neeson thriller Non-Stop had more vibrant colors than an iPad mini, which we watched*side-by-side with the Samsung during the same action scene. Once the movie started, the display became brighter and more saturated, maintaining its clear picture*both indoors*and out. You can thank the tablet's Super AMOLED display and its adaptive features, which streamline the switch*between a movie and a book without having to manually adjust the way the screen looks (brightness, colors, saturation)*every time.

Although I do not doubt the honesty of those experiencing lag, stutter and generally poor performance, I think the feedback from the marketplace is telling us this may be isolated and by my guess, the result of a bad batch of parts. The percentage of those experiencing problems in this forum while still a minority is probably disproportionately large as those having problems come to forums such as these seeking help while those who are satisfied do not.
so I've used the xfinity app and watched some stuff and honestly my black levels look fine, just like Netflix does...

Penny Dreadful is where I saw it at its worse. It was horrible.
Just got my Gear VR for Christmas and the 360° videos are AMAZING. I'd like to be able to film my own and watch them on the device, but I need suggestions for the best cameras out there that would be able to take video and stills with the full 360° range. Does anyone know any that are out for a decent price with good quality? And that would be compatible?
Thanks!
If you look around net there are companies what sell kits to make 360 videos using digital cameras like go pro... You can find plans how to do that and you will need " stitching " software to create spherical video.

The Note 4 has an optional camera mode setting called "Surround Shot" for stills. I read about it elsewhere. I have tried it a couple of times, but must be doing something wrong as the pictures are quite distorted when viewed on the Gear VR. Perhaps you'll have better luck or can figure out the correct technique.
Good Luck!

Hi
What about the Kodak SP360? It is already available but not too sure about the compatibility of the movies with the GEAR VR.
Kind regards

The Kodak PixPro SP360 is for sure the best consumer-friendly option for 360-degree video. That said, it does leave a lot to be desired. To be clear, it does not capture full spherical video. It captures it in a "dome" type format. That means that if you're capturing video indoors, for example, you'll get the area all around you, behind you, and above you up to the ceiling, etc. But you will *not* capture the area under the camera, the floor, etc.
I can confirm that if you export the video in panoramic format, you can view it in the Gear VR, and you'll be able to turn around 360 degrees. If you look straight ahead and just move in circular movements, it's a pretty cool experience. You'll see black if you look down.
As far as having one camera that exports one video file in a compatible Gear VR format with no stitching required, with unlimited video recording limits (similar cameras, like the Ricoh Theta M15, only let you record 3 minutes of video at a time), the SP360 is the only option right now, so it's worth a shot if you really want to try it out. Otherwise, if you wait several months, there will definitely be other, better options on the market.

Thanks a lot for your explanations!
I'd like to know if the video appears in 3D with the Gear VR, and if it seems really as immersive as the other videos of the Milk app (except the fact that you can't look down). Thank you.
I'm wondering why the 360 videos I've seen are so out of focus compared to standard FHD video? The Iceland and NYC flyovers are terrible and not even 720p quality.
Which is a better set in terms of video quality, price and portability? SP360 or Ricoh M15?
Photosphere or Surround mode on our phone is not bad at all for still photos.

I have not used the Ricoh model; the kodak one relies heavily on its own proprietary software to achieve its effects. If you do not use Kodak's software, all photos and videos look the same (360 dome)
I wish I had not bought it and ripped up the box
Charlie
I have been looking around at different cameras and I am glad to have seen the feedback on the Kodak. That is the one I have seen advertised everywhere. It seems like many of the others are preorders by companies that didn't exist before that hardware.
http://360.tv/ (and https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giroptic/the-worlds-first-full-hd-360-camera). It says it is 4K and costs $500. I would be interested to see the reviews, though. It also doesn't seem to be suited for an "active" lifestyle. (Not yet available)
There was also https://360fly.myshopify.com/products/360fly which claims to be geared toward mobile and has some nice environmental features, such as shock and water resistance, but at the cost of not being as high of a resolution. (Not yet available)
My favorite so far is http://www.vsnmobil.com/products/v360 with an Amazon listing at http://www.amazon.com/V-360-HD-Camera-Kit-seamless/dp/B00PSSGKRQ (In stock and shipping out)
That one has some pretty positive reviews, costs $300, and seems to have both the resolution and the environmental features. I would be interested how well it worked with the Gear VR. Ironically, it is packing a Qualcomm 800 processor. It would be pretty crazy to see the surveillance mode turned into a Gear VR app. Imagine being able to look around inside your house while sitting in a friend's living room. That'd be trippy.
Low FOV on Vertical Angle
I went ahead and ordered the V.360 from Amazon base on the fact that it has a higher resolution. I will see.
Honestly, I don't have too high expectations for two reasons:
1. The sample I downloaded, while the resolution was higher - it was in a split screen (front and back in a top/bottom arrangement). This setup/presentation will present higher resolution as the aspect ratio is usually 1:1. However, when you go for the panoramic view required for 360 - the resolution tends to be significantly lower.
2. This one is potentially the big deal breaker; The camera vertical angle is only 60 degree. The PixPro XP360 (kodak) offers a 214 degree vertical angle and the same 360 degree horizontal the V360 offers. We'll see.
I will post my findings, and maybe a video comparison with both SP360 and V360. We obviously know the SP360 has a disadvantage in resolution, but the angle is greater. I expect the V360 will at least reverse that It will have higher resolution (maybe) but much lower FOV on the vertical axis.
stay tuned.

To be precise : i bought this camera and your description is incomplete.
The only way to use it with a Gear Vr or cardboard is to export the video in panoramic format, right, but you forgott to mention that : If you look straight ahead and just move in circular movements, it's a pretty cool experience. You'll see black if you look down. And if you look up you'll see black too!
For example if you take a video indoor, you won't see the ceiling. You can only watch the video with your gear VR as a 360 degree strip with big black holes down and up. It's a been desapointing, not to mention that the quality is very low...
To be honest i can't advertise this camera if the goal is only to take 360° video for VR, especially indoor videos. Maybe some other products like the giroptic cam could be better but we have to wait...
If you want a FULL 360 pictures/video (but decent quality) check device - Ricoh Theta , https://theta360.com/en/gallery/
The quality of pictures is ok, if there is a good sun light, the picture will be very nice. Price is also nice - just 300€/$ (this is a second model with movies, now worldwide, but one year ago - only in Japan and price with taxes was something like 450)
My photo (G+ compression..., photos looks better from your device (PC/smart) or oficiall Theta site)
https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos?...112253762336696676097&authkey=CP6al5-jlff4wQE
Random photo for Theta
https://theta360.com/spheres/samples/5bdbf9f8-3a15-11e4-bf19-52540092ec69-1
For me, pics looks better on smarphone, than Gear VR - only 2m from center of camera is readable, others parts of photo looks blury, pixolated, etc.
And this is a second idea for 360 pictures - Android 4.4 and Google Camera
Quality will be much better than Ricoh Theta but takes more time to make a one sphere. On Ricoh, you just click the button and move ahead, but with smartphone - you need take everypart of sphere, sometimes after "rendering" you see small glitches so you need to make other one.
OK, Just went to Best Buy to demo the gear VR. First - the demo time is limited to 3 minutes which made it a little difficult to get a good idea.
My major problem with the demo was the image quality. Now I was not expecting miracles. I have read the forums and expected sd effect but this was major sd. Large pixels were unfocused where one could see the red/green/blue. It was almost like an old crt that had been badly focused. I almost wondered if they had a bum unit.
I was watching the trailers in the movie theaters btw.
So Im wondering - is this basically the quality one should expect from the VR currently? Has anyone had experience loading their own films on the unit and is the quality better than the trailers loaded on the unit?
Any opinions would be appreciated (Again - Im wondering if the unit they had was just a bad one)
Thanks

Did you try adjusting the focus wheel?
Yes - the focus wheel had little to no effect. Almost as if it was there for show.
Possibly broken but remember it's only a QHD screen so there will be pixels visable. We need to wait for 8k screens... I love me gearvr and amazed our phones offer this ability
-= Note 4 & Gear VR =-
Sounds like a defective unit to me. Yes the picture isn't perfect but "unfocused and can see the red/green/blue "definitely not. I've watched gravity, avatar ,xmen and godzilla all in 3d on the vr and obviously it's not like watching in on a hd TV but you are watching it on a 100ft large screen in a virtual cinema which you can't do at home
Wondering - Has anyone loaded on hd rips of movies and watched them vs the trailers that they have pre-loaded?
Is the quality improved? Maybe their trailers are low bit rate. Thanks

Doesn't sound broke. I can always see the red/green/blue in pixels when focused. It always reminded me of CRT TVs.
I don't see the red/green/blue at all. Sounds like defected units. Also my pixals are extremely small. Maybe because I have 15/20 vision with my contacts in? I don't know.

They are visible if you focus your attention on them. Once you focus your mind on video or game they disappear.

I believe focus issues have a lot to do with the alignment of your eyes and the 3D effect. If you eyes are not aligned properly then the 3D effect may create a double image
Also I've noticed the eyepad with the nose bridge included positions the device on your face for better focus.
Another issue is just getting used to a slightly screen door image. Also remenber these movies et al are largely in FHD not QHD and that is also hurting the experience.
If your phone is rooted you can also increase the DPI which may help with pixel size.
Part of enjoying this is your brain just getting used to it. I find that focusing tightly on what I'm looking at as opposed to generally staring in a direction helps focus. Its not that focus with the unit is poor so much as the 3D tech is imperfectly tuned for each person. Also I think we've come to expect 3D things to jump out at us; however thus is not the effect 3D has in real life. In real life 3D merely adds depth and that is what this does more than in your face hollywood 3D.

Try setting your DPI to 400.
I watch HD videos in the Oculus Cinema and although i can see pixels the focus is pretty good. But then I watch a 360 video and the focus is absolutely awful. The NYC and Iceland flyovers are awful quality. Just watched a Venice 360 and I could not distinguish peoples facial features standing just 10 feet away.
I don't believe this is a GVR problem as still 360 pics are quite in focus. It seems to be something about how the 360 videos are shot. Hugely disappointing and at this point I don't even bother watching them.
Does anyone know where we can get some true FHD 360 videos?

I agree that the quality is kind of poor and it would've been nice to not deal with the blurry videos issue.
There is a site called www.airpano.com that I think has some good quality video. I couldn't download any of the videos directly from my phone and maybe you need a computer. Try it out and let us know if you are able to get any good video on the VR.
I find that 180 degree adult videos are great compared to the demo ones. There is a thread were we are talking about it.
I think the issue may be that with a 360 video it really is TMI (too much information) and thus the quality suffers. It makes sense then that 180 videos would be much better. And unless you are standing or in a swivel chair, 360 video is pretty useless. I think I'll start looking for 180 content instead.

Nah, 360 is nice to have. You can move your head around to inspect the location.
You bring up a good point before as of why the videos recorded with the phone /regular camera are far better. It took me a lil' bit to get used to the 360 video quality and now I am enjoying it.

Top question I get asked by random ppl is "can you watch porn?". For some reason girls have asked me more than guys (surprising to Me).

Yeah well porn pretty much makes up like 30% of all Internet traffic. Hey, people like sex, who knew? I think the whole VR thing brings it to another level (obviously). Closest lots of these fat slobs will ever get to the real thing (cheaper too). Just a matter of time before the uber hot chicks start making them.
Funny thing is I bought this mainly for the 360 videos hoping for an "immersive" experience. The pixels and focus issues kind of ruined that for me; however, I really am enjoying the immersion in some of these games, especially the space blaster ones. The black background of space reduces the binocular effect and seems like you're really there.
Hi,
ordered sgs7edge so i received my VR gear...
I was happy,
but VR Gear is bad...
in 1950 the Quality of picture was same or better... TERRIBLE
Terribile, un watchable.... discovery movie, ha ha ha, it was like bad bad old cinema, it is impossible to read...or see the face...
pictures are so bad, you can't see nature or colors, you see mega pixels and no resolution, NO DETAILS... so if you watch nature, you are not sure what are you watching..you can't see face of narrator, without details.. 240p is better,,
on phone display, pictures are good, but after you put vr on, is bad bad bad...
i think that screen of s7 is not good,,,too much big pixels... 8K or 4K display are better
even menu in VR is difficult to read...
and i was impressed that even Facebook Mark was on presentation...Did he try this '' new technology?''
if this is technology for 2016... please go home...oculus and samsung...
menu of vr gear is un watchable too.... and everything in their shop is for pay...pay for what?
it is o.k. for tree years children,for some stupid game but for me is not good, i want at least 720p quality when i watch something on VR.... but 120p quality is not for 2016

Yes. It's true. Very disappointed as well.
When watching a 1080p Blu-ray 3D rip it looks amazing. You must be streaming with low bandwidth.
Please learn how to write out a well thought complain instead of the giberish I attempted read.
Seems like someone didn't adjust the VR to fit there sight....
While I don't have the VR yet for S7E, but I used to have S6E, and paired it with 2nd gen Gear VR and i can say it's awesome, even though maybe it's not full 4K or whatever.
I've got my S7 Edge with the VR headset as well and I do admit while fun, the resolution isn't all that fantastic. I wasn't expecting much from £80 worth of VR headset and while it is entertaining at first, it'll most likely end up in the box gathering dust.
Setting settings settings. look in the settings. lol the resolution is superb if you set it up right

Tried to launch the netflix VR app, maybe I had to high expectations but the resolution was pretty bad.
and YES i adjusted everything the right way.
I'm getting the impression here that the quality of your videos may be hampered by your connection speed. The first 10-15 seconds of the free videos via Vimeo come through looking awful initially, but once the buffer is set and the phone knows what speed it can utilise, the video cracks right into the best quality I've seen.
so my expectations to use this to watch movies on a plane is shot because the quality looks like crap?
yeah it's not that great but what did you guys expect.. you are looking at a phone screen from about 5 cms away - and it's going to be magnified. of course you are going to see pixels and it's not going to be crystal clear and sharp etc.
but the gear vr was never intended to be a awesomely high quality experience.. not for £80 pounds. For that you can pay £600 for the oculus rift or the HTC vive. The gear VR is good for introducing people to VR and just general fun for the sake of fun.
I can attest that the Gear VR does really expose the pixels on your screen. Yes, it's a 2560x1440 screen and the screen itself is possibly the best screen ever put onto a phone, but you can SEE the pixels themselves when wearing the gear VR. The way the lenses magnify it to achieve the FOV, even watching a 4K-made VR porno (yes, a VR porn) you could see pixels noticably. I'd imagine the actual oculus doesnt have this issue as it does not rely on lenses magnifying a screen, but I won't know for sure until I try one. Overall, it takes a while to get used to the pixels but you can get used to it, especially with gaming content which shows it far less than filmed stuff does
actually having compared it with the cardboard, movies actually look better in the cardboard app using the cardboard gear...
It's a $100 headset. If you want true VR...plunk down $500-1000 for a Vive or Oculus Rift. Get over it.
You only need good and quality content.
Download and see any 360º / 180º xxx video from virtualrealporn (use a torrent searcher to get full videos), it's and amazing experience ,you will be change your opinion.

It's stupid to talk about resolution and not see the true beauty of VR.
I was quite amazed on how interesting the VR content can be and how it transposes you into another world.
