The problem with OLED screens in general (with the exception of large OLED TVs) is that they adjust brightness by pulse width modulation (PWM). Basically, when you lower brightness via PWM, what's essentially happening is that the screen is rapidly switching between full brightness and turned-off state, instead of lowering brightness itself (hence the term 'flicker'). Even though our eyes perceive the screen as darker, it's simply being turned on and off at full brightness very quickly, which can fatigue your eyes if you are sensitive to it.

I thought I was not sensitive to PWM (for more than 10 years), but now my eyes are aging and I can't bear to look at PWM screens in darkness for more than 5 minutes. So your sensitivity may change as you become older, too. I agree that reading with a black background may not be as stressful to the eyes (because most of the screen is turned off with OLED screens that way), but the letters themselves will still flicker unless you are at full brightness.

I have actually used it for months and stand by my comments.

You apparently don't have one. I got one for my wife at least a year ago and it has been great. Expensive, but great.

I had both this and a Tab S8 Ultra, and I traded in the Tab S8 Ultra for a Tab S9 Ultra. But I kept this specifically because it has an LCD screen (no noticeable PWM and much, much easier on the eyes especially in the dark). As for performance, you likely won't notice the difference between this and the latest gen unless you are gaming.
I always thought OLED might be good for reading ebooks at night if you have white text on black background (effectively shutting off most of the pixels). Is that not the case?

You're spot on. Their old 8 inch tablet was amazing for night time reading.

The SoC in this tablet is actually bad, but it doesn't matter at all for this tablet. It's bad because it's undefensibly power-hungry, but again, it's a tablet.

I'll throw my vote in with the "back in my day" crowd: I was able to get S9 256/12 with keyboard cover for 490 back in September; this is unimpressive pricing.

I've always purchased OLED tablets specifically for reading comics; the colors look amazing, but maybe that's why I've been getting headaches as of late. I read at night a lot more now, maybe the "eye comfort shield" mode is not enough.

If you need DeX to use this tablet as a productivity tool Samsung definitely nailed it.
If you don't then no need to bother.

Quote from MAKNYC :
Back on the weekend of November 18 2023 this was on Samsungs website at about $330. That was a purely purchase only price….no trade in required and no special discount code or group. It was listed under their Black Friday promotions. Problem was when you added product to your cart and tried to checkout the item was included at $499. I had multiple chats with CS as I kept trying to purchase. They were well aware of the issue and suggested it was being worked on and could be fixed at any time. I even explicitly asked if this was an erroneous price and I wasn't given a clear answer. They did suggest a workaround by buying at the $499 cart price and then contacting CS to price match their own website. But between this product already being somewhat dated as well as the issue of complicating rebates by processing customer service adjustments I decided to wait it out. And it does appear it was likely an erroneous offering as by Monday the price reverted to $499. For a company the size of Samsung their website is trash. The following week I decided to try the OnePlus Pad during their Black Friday promo. Too difficult to deal with Samsung especially with such premium priced products.
How do you like the OnePlus Tablet? Seems like a lot for the money, including a keyboard and pencil.

You chose an LCD over amoled? And what does pwm mean?

It's more like I didn't give up the tab S8 with LCD for a trade-in to get tab S9 (which has amoled). See my other response for what PWM means.
