Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
38 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 20.8 ms rise
↘ 17.2 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 95 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
48 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 26.8 ms rise

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 80 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33 ms).

Amazons Fire HD 8 (2018) är en surfplatta på 8 tum som praktiskt taget är utan rivaler i det här prisskiktet när det kommer till förhållandet mellan pris och prestanda. Om du letar efter en billig platta för att surfa på nätet med är Fire HD 8 definitivt värd att överväga. Den har skapligt stereoljud, hygglig batteritid, bra konstruktionskvalitet och dualbands-WiFi. Barnversionen har ett riktigt robust och hållbart skyddsskal i blått eller rosa och har innehåll som är lämpligt för barn.

Skillnaderna mellan Fire HD 8 (2018) och dess föregångare, som att Alexa ingår nu, är nästintill försumbara. Men de är ändå väldigt välkomna och gör den nya modellen ännu mer lockande än Fire HD 8 (2017) med tanke på att den fortfarande bara kostar runt 800 kronor.

Tillsammans med Show Mode-dockningsstationen som finns som tillval har denna surfplatta samma funktioner som Amazons Echo Show till ett betydligt lägre pris. Vid skrivande stund kostar andra generationen av Echo Show mer än 2.000 kronor medans Fire HD 8 (2018) med 32 GB lagring och ett paket med Show Mode Dock går att få för så lite som 1.400 kronor.

Med det sagt kommer du att stöta på en del begränsningar förr eller senare, exempelvis det aningen slöa fyrkärniga MediaTek MT8163-chippet eller den ganska mörka och lågupplösta (1280x800) skärmen. Surfplattan saknar också ett GPS-chipp, kameran duger som bäst till någon enstaka bild och Android 7-baserade Fire OS är tydligt riktat åt Amazons tjänster. Googles Play-butik kan installeras i efterhand, men det kommer att upphäva garantin, så var försiktig.
