No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I have a phone that has an OLED type display and has a high contrast ratio and HDR. I don't wanna spend "flagship phone" amount of money on a tablet, so I was wondering if a cheap tablet would improve viewing experience because of the bigger screen or would it be worse since its LCD and low contrast ratio. By "videos" I mean mostly for Youtube, but sometimes TV Shows, and occasionally movies.

(And no I don't want something like a TV, too big, too much hassle for casually watching videos)


(P.S. I notice a lot of reddit threads get very judgy and poor-shaming when people mention "movie" and "phone"/"tablet" in the same sentence... ๐Ÿ‘€)

Lenovo Legion Go has awful battery life which make is essentially useless for portable gaming. Also isn't meant for Steam OS, and Windows on a handheld is... well... kinda clunky. Trying to install Steam OS on something not made for it is gonna have issues. Most importantly SteamDeck is the most popular handheld for PC gaming on-the-go, so if I ever get an issue, there are way more people online through various forums that I can ask about, using a less popular product means less likely to be able to find help when issues come up.

Bazzite works just fine on the Legion Go and is explicitly supported out of the box, for what it's worth. Battery life isn't great on most PC handhelds in general, but for low power media consumption it's probably fairly on par across the board.

Genuinely, the biggest blocker for me would be the sound quality, at least for what you want out of it. I still wouldn't discount non-Steam handhelds in general. There are genuinely good alternatives. The Deck is good, but at this point it's... top 5. Top 3 maaaybe.
