I just got myself an acer a200 thinking it would be a vast improvement to my original galaxy tab. I use mx video player both on my galaxy tab and on my galaxy s2, and they can play any video I have. Even the old galaxy tab plays 1080 videos without skipping a beat. For some reason the a200 will not let me select hw mode, and the sw mode is not capable of playing the video. There has to be a fix for this?
Unfortunately, you bought the A200, which still use the old Tegra 2. I used like 4 different tablets with that cpu, its just not that great for HD video, but should manage HD h.264.
If you are good with flashing, what you should do is sell the A200 and get yerself a Kindle Fire and install CyanogenMod9 to it. Kindle Fire use an OMAP 4 cpu like the Galaxy Nexus, but at 1GHz. Tegra 3 devices would do well too, but I think those tablets are currently more expensive.
"All OMAP 4 come with an IVA3 multimedia hardware accelerator with a programmable DSP that enables 1080p Full HD and multi-standard video encode/decode." Due to this, my Nexus play HD MKV videos smoother than the Galaxy Note which has a higher frequency Exynos.
I've just realized that it plays straight DVD rips perfectly smooth. not sure how this makes sense when it can't play 1080 and struggles on 720
The widescreen 16:9 and 16:10 formats used for the majority of Android tablets are, in my opinion, not the optimal solution for the tablet environment. It is either too wide or too narrow, especially with the inclusion of the navigation bar, and really only shines when watching widescreen video. As far as apps go, 4:3 is vastly superior aspect ratio for everything else (web browsing, email, etc).
I thought it might be nice to have a list of all the (worthwhile) 4:3 aspect ratio Android tablets available for those who feel the same way I do, since there doesn't seem to be one. I will start with a list of the ones I know about, and I hope you all will chime in with more.

Idea USA CT802.
As a new user I can't post links here. You;ll have to Google for it.
Similarly to the Eken A90 it has an Allwinner A10, 1G ram, 16G onboard storage and an SD slot, and is 9.7" and 1024x768. The manufacturer's site is wrong; it's not a Vivante GC800. The site also used to incorrectly list bluetooth. It does have GPS, which is not listed on the site. Actually, when I google up pictures of an Eken A90 mine looks exactly identical except for the logo and a few button labels--same buttons in the same places, same ports, same design with cameras in front and back and speaker on the back (wouldn't putting it on the front make more sense?).
The tablet's company is headquartered in the US and it's supposedly designed in the US by someone with a non-Chinese name, but the tablet is made in China and the manufacturer's web site has typical bad English of a normal Chinese web site. How someone managed to "design" a tablet identically to a tablet by another manufacturer, I don't know.
The tablet is an older model and seems to have been replaced by the CT920 which is also 1024x768.
The tablet comes pre-rooted. I don't know if the CT920 also comes rooted.
Thanks for this thread! it will be very useful! I also really home someone will soon produce a 4:3 hires tablet, like the ipad.
I dont get why google made the nexus 10 16:10...
Do they expect customer to just watch movies with a 10 inches tablet??
I'm glad to see other Android users recognize the 4:3 aspect ratio is superior for tablets. If I could get an Android iPad mini with a high res display, I'd be elated.

Archos just announced one called the Titanium.
Incidentally, my CT802 started dying. The screen keeps acting as though the top is being touched even when it's not.
I tried researching other 4:3 tablets. Apparently there's contradictory information about the CT920 and most (but not all) of the information on Idea USA' site says that it's not 4:3.
HP touchpad. Also has tons of support for ROMs. I'm running jellybean on it right now and it works flawlessly.

It also comes with GooglePlay preinstalled [although the official website states they are still searching for Google approval], and GetJar.
I liked a lot the 4:3 form factor, and also I liked that once connected to the computer I could see its memory as a disk drive, as opposed to Asus tf300t where you can navigate only through Windows Explorer. Skype, eReaders, video streaming, games, etc. worked excelent.
The only reason I didn't keep this tablet was that its display's fidelity was not quite great, otherwise it think it has the best cost-benefit ratio on the market.
Karbonn ST10 also aspect ratio of 4:3
Anyone compared comic reading on 16:10 and 4:3 tablets?
Used to have an asus transformer, but I always read comics in landscape because I find the 10 inch 16:10 screen to be to narrow.
Add Karbonn Smart Tab 8 to the list too.

I reup this thread because i'm looking for a 4:3 tablet, and in these days are going out the Acer Iconia A1 7,9" 4:3 (interesting device imho)

I recentlY bought the Lenovo S2109 refurbished from the Lenovo outlet (US) for 160USD plus tax. It's a fantastic price, even though the specs are decidedly 2011 at best. It's running 4.0 and the ROM community is basically non existent, but I love it. OMAP 4430 isn't the fastest , but I generally only do web browsing and PDF a magazine reading and it performs those tasks very well. Unlike the 16:10 A2109 model, this product has more or less been discontinued by Lenovo and won't see further updates. I doubt it'll be on the market for much longer.
I really hope there will be another 4:3 tablet (Android or x86 Windows) sometime soon. After using a 16:10 tablet for so long, and comparing it to a 4:3, I completely understand Apple's decision To go with the former.
If your resolution is significantly higher in one direction than the other, your tablet is not 4:3, so 90% of these suggestions are false.

Not sure what you mean. Figuring out whether a tablet is 4:3 or not isn't rocket science , it's literally the division of the pixel height by the pixel width. The most common 4:3 resolutions on tablets are 1024x768 and 2048x1536. I don't think ive seen any tablets in this thread that aren't 4:3.
Hello XDA!
I'm thinking on buying a laptop with main porpouse to edit videos in Premiere CC and After Effects CC. The Raw videos I intend to edit are from my DSLR camera Canon 600D (1080P 50FPS). As right now, I have Asus K52Jc (i5, 4gb of ram and nvidia 310m) and I am able to edit Full HD videos, but it's kinda pain in a a**. The maximum I can spend as right now is 1000€ and I don't want to buy Desktop.
I'm here to ask you guys if you can explain me what does video editing consume at most. And the most, how important is GPU for Premiere / After Effects? Is nVidia Geforce GT740m 2GB DDR3 good for editing FULL HD videos?
P.S. I know you will telling me to buy TOP GPU cards, but I don't really have much money to spend.

Basically any of the core i5s will work.
But even with haswell the graphics are exceptionally weak.
At least get a haswell i5 an ssd(Very beneficial) and have 4gb of ram and usb 3.0.
Look for laptops with an exotic graphics config like an nvidia gpu on the motherboard.
It's hard to find a good laptop for this vs building a desktop pc.
Hope it works out for you.

Hello there,
Basically I have DSLR Camera (Canon 600D) which I use to film in Full HD (1080P 50fps) for my movies (short plays and medium plays).
So, I am thinking to buy a laptop with main porpouse to edit my videos in Premiere CS6 and After Effects CS6 and I would like to ask you guys if you can help me choose one. Maximum I could spend is 1000€.
So, I don't care how much time my laptop will take to export movies, but what is most important to me is smooth editing ( fast pre-rendering). I know that pre-render / in software render uses Nvidia CUDA cores to acelerate the process.
I choosed these two laptops:
ASUS K750JB:
Intel i7 4700HQ 2.4 - 3.4GhZ
12GB RAM 1600mHz
Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 384 Cuda Cores <<< ---- can this one do the job done?
1TB 5400RPM <<<--- I am thinking on buying 60GB SSD extra for OS and Adobe Programs
17.2'' Screen 1600x900
Price: 799€
HP Envy 15-j011sp:
Intel i7 4700MQ 2.4 - 3.4GhZ
8GB RAM 1600mHz <<<---- I could buy 4GB extra
Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 384 Cuda Cores
1TB 5400RPM <---- I could buy 60GB SSD extra
15.6'' Screen 1920x1080
Price: 810€
So, as you saw, Two of these laptops have 740M Graphic card. Asus is parcially alluminun, but HP is totally alluminum.
Do you think these two are good for edit videos from my DSLR camera? As I said, I don't care how much time it takes to render movie. What is most important to me is editing smooth experience.
Thank you!

From my experience definitely get the asus laptop with an ssd. (Much higher quality build)
You could also use an external screen like your tv as long it is 1920x1080. (The asus laptop is not 1080p)
If ^this is an issue then look for a model of asus that has an internal 1080p screen.
The Hp laptops I found to be extremely horribly cooled.
Also try to get an ssd with mlc nand so it asts longer.
