A question of screens, on Windows tablets?

[Valis]

Can anyone tell me the difference, pros and cons, ups and downs, of these screens that are on two new Win 8.1 tablets, that are about to be released?

Toshiba Encore:
- 20.32cm (8”) AutoBrite™ 1280 x 800 HFFS wide view angle LCD display with 5-point multi-touch support

Lenovo Miix2:
8-inch, 1280x800 res IPS 10 simultaneous touch points

They two appear very similar, same size and resolution. Apparently HFFS and IPS are similar and should both good colors (if calibrated) and viewing angles. AutoBrite (tm) is a marketing term for probably it's calibration processor maybe dynamic backlighting or something, not sure how meaningful it is. The Toshiba has only 5 point touch, but I'm guessing very few would need more than that on a small tablet screen anyway.

Unfortunately specs alone won't really tell you how nice the screens are.

Seem like HFFS (an improved AFFS) is better than IPS:

Wiki:
"Advanced fringe field switching (AFFS)

Known as fringe field switching (FFS) until 2003,[33] advanced fringe field switching is similar to IPS or S-IPS offering superior performance and color gamut with high luminosity. AFFS was developed by Hydis Technologies Co., Ltd, Korea (formally Hyundai Electronics, LCD Task Force).[34]

AFFS-applied notebook applications minimize color distortion while maintaining a wider viewing angle for a professional display. Color shift and deviation caused by light leakage is corrected by optimizing the white gamut which also enhances white/gray reproduction.

In 2004, Hydis Technologies Co., Ltd licensed AFFS to Japan's Hitachi Displays. Hitachi is using AFFS to manufacture high-end panels. In 2006, HYDIS licensed AFFS to Sanyo Epson Imaging Devices Corporation.

Shortly thereafter, Hydis introduced a high-transmittance evolution of the AFFS display, called HFFS (FFS+).

Hydis introduced AFFS+ with improved outdoor readability in 2007. AFFS panels are mostly utilized in the cockpits of latest commercial aircraft displays."
