Argos are usually grand for returns, just bring it in and explain what's wrong maybe even show them and they should replace it then and there.

As to what if the replacement is worse that's just down to luck, Argos seem to be selling a new batch so there shouldn't be any issues but again it just depends.

Can anyone confirm

1) Is the aspect ratio 16:9 or 4:3?
2) Can you use a USB OTG cable with a flash dive to extend the storage?

Yes on both counts, 4:3 ratio.
Nexus media importer app on play store is very useful when used in conjunction with USB OTG cable.

Hi Heffs,
Thanks alot for that.
Could you tell me when it will be available for collection and when is the expiry of the reservation?

cheers

SteM · 27-07-2015 8:52am

4:3 ratio isn't good imo, think I'll stick with my lg gpad 8.3. I've a reservation for Tallaght if anyone wants it. Expires on 30/7.

Depends on your use case, its grand for watching video's imo but web browsing etc is phenomenal in 4:3.

Of course. Mine is used for watching video mainly so 4:3 is not ideal for me. May suit others though. I'm assuming they decided to go 4:3 to match the form factor of the ipad.

Hows the vibrate for the keyboard etc? Mines a bit rattley. Might have to return it.

No other issues and I'm not bothered by leak - I'm going to keep it.

Only three hours left for the Cork code to be collected guys I'd hate to see it wasted!

Kobe · 27-07-2015 3:26pm

Screen bleeding on my nexus 9 is very visible when the environment is dark, the amoled display of my nexus 6 is way better in my opinion. Won't watch video with it so the ratio is fine for me, growing to like it.

Curb Your Enthusiasm · 27-07-2015 3:26pm

Told ya so. The issue is still evident on newer batches too.

Just been over to collect mine, came up as €419 initially, but there was no issue once I shows the email with the €279 price on it.

No issues with light bleed so far as it's still in the box in the boot of my car!

:pac:

Don't turn it on in the boot of your car, it doesn't do so well in dark places

I still have 2 unopened as I am trying to decide if I need one. I'm having second thoughts about this now after reading about the screen bleeding. Has anyone used this and the Samsung Tab S 10.5 who would be able to say which is better?

Screen-wise I think sanding with amoled is better, but I'm not a bug fan of Samsung's touchwiz. Nexus 9 wins in software experience if you ask me.
