Onda V972 has the same retina screen with Apple iPad 4, this become one of the most attractive selling points. The performance of retina screen should be one aspect you care the most. Retina screen is a technology developed for Apple iPhone 4 and products after it. From the name, we know Retina screen is a LCD screen of ultra high density of pixels, it can compress 2048*1536 ultra high resolution into a 9.7 inch display screen. In other words, the screen pixel density is up to 264ppi. Onda V972, the New iPad and iPad 4 all use this type of screen.

Parameters are still something invisible and what we need is practical use. Next is the most directly contrast between the retina screen of Onda V972 and Apple iPad 4. Let’s go!

Home Screen
Though Onda V972 and Apple iPad 4 both use retina screens and the exterior shape difference is not much, the UI are totally different. The iPad 4 uses iOS system, Onda V972 running with Android 4.1.1 system.

RGB gray-scale graphics which express the color reduction ability. The best performance is no obviously color gradation change, gradually and smoothly. By comparing, the two machine have no big difference.

Comprehensive test
Both color temperature difference can be seen by comprehensive chromatographic test. Compared with the cold color screen of Onda V972, the screen of iPad 4 is warmer. Which is better, cold color screen or warm color? This can’t be compared with, it depends on everyone’s choice. Relatively, warm color screens are more acceptable by eyes. But there are many people preferring cold color screen.

Graphic distortion test
As a result, the two tablets screen are pixel ratio of 1:1, the standard ratio, so there is no screen distortion phenomenon.

Precision comparison of screen

This should be the reflection of retina screen’s advantage, 8*8 pixel checkerboard in the screen has become particles. It can be seen no difference in precision through amplification.

Colors reduction (color)

You can see that the difference of the cold color and warm color between the two screens through the display of the real sample. The iPad 4 warm screen color revealed more real, while Onda V972 quad core is too gorgeous and the portrait looks unnaturally. But it’s depends on personal preference. After all, most people are fond of the icreased color reduction performance of AMOLED, IPS screen can’t be like this.





View angle test
In view angle test, the brightness of the two tablets has been turned to the highest. At each angle, picture is shown very clear and the two screens has no discoloration, retina screens have a well-deserved reputation.


Text precision (PDF files)
In the screen precision test, the contrast has been made through the checkerboard screen test above. We made a contrast again through the PDF file above, from the amplified picture, we can see, Onda V972 quad core has no difference from iPad 4 in picture precision.
Conclusion

Through the test above, the 9.7 inch retina screen of Onda V972 is nearly the same with that of iPad 4, extreme high clarity, good color reduction and full view angle. The only difference is that one of the screens is warmer and the other one is colder. Equipped with the same screen of iPad 4, Onda V972 is only the price of 1/3 and you can enjoy the quality as high as iPad 4. It’s worth to you.

The benchmark result depends on the system optimization and the rendering resolution. As V972's rendering resolution is very high, and the iOS optimization is much better in GLBench, so you will see the result of V972 is worse than the iPads.
Mcbub,

I found this today, It was a benchmark test comparing V972 and IPAD2 and 3. I honestly believe that most of the results is because of how the software/kernel is responding to the task, but I could be completely wrong. Need your opinion and any news you can give us. Thanks.
