As previously mentioned, the Dell Venue 8 7840 sports an 8.4-inch OLED display. Quite incredibly, Dell have fitted a 2560*1600 resolution panel, which equates to a huge 359 PPI. This is not as high as the latest QHD displays on phones such as the S6 – but it does not need to be.

As tablets are typically held further away than smartphones, pixel density can be lower but still seem lovely and crisp. This is certainly the case with the Venue 8 – the detail is eye-popping, and it makes the screen a real pleasure to use.

Viewing angles are not so impressive, though, as colour shift is quite noticeable when the screen is tilted in different directions. However, if you ask us if we would rather have incredible viewing angles or an incredible display resolution, we would pick the latter every time.

Brightness is more than good enough though, as text remains clear and readable outdoors, and the screen can also dim to a pleasant level if you are reading in a darkened room.
