What's good Tablet for Sheet Music

[pianist7s]

   Sorry if this isn't in the correct forum section, but I wanted opinions on what tablet is good for sheet music? I been carrying my piano books or sheet music in a folder when I go practice at my church,and sometimes the sheet music get crumble or wet. So, since its extended Black Friday deals I been looking at variety different tablets. I'm just unsure what size of tablet I need for sheet music. I seen Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa, 7" Display, 8 GB, Black for $29 on Amazon. Maybe I need 10 inch tablet.

I'm just going through the same thing. I have an account with Musicnotes.com and use their sheet music displayer. Bottom line: it boils down to personal comfort with respect to how 'satisfied' the individual is with the size of the music displayed in various size tablets. Because my 9.7" tablet produced an image that was smaller than I wanted (the display app is free), I invested $80 in an RCA 11.5" Galileo Pro with an Android operating system. For me personally, that 'works', but is still smaller than I would like. Consequently, if I decide that I will use the device enough to justify the purchase, and because I only plan to use such a tablet/laptop to display sheet music, I will consider 14"-15" 2 in 1's. Musicnotes sheet music display app will work for Android or Windows, up to and including Windows 10. Although I have yet to decide whether I want to make the purchase, I have seen refurbished 14-15" 2 in 1's on Amazon. Again, I think the decision ultimately boils down to what size will please the specific individual.  Good luck.

Yuja wang using tablet in concert. I wouldn't use anything smaller than this.

I have been trying to determine what exact tablet product Yuja Wang is using in that video. People in the comments say it's an Ipad Pro -- but the biggest Ipad is 12.9 inches, isn't it? Yuja's tablet looks so much bigger. Apparently there is a Samsung Galaxy 'View' which is a whopping 18.4 inches.

I'm confused. Can anyone identify the tablet in that video?

If it really is an Ipad Pro of 12.9 inches, it looks plenty big enough. But something tells me it's bigger. It looks like it's at least the length of her forearm, which is a cubit (for you ancient-history buffs) and therefore 17 or 18 inches. What the hell is this thing?

In any case, an 18.4 inch Samsung Galaxy View is bloody expensive. I want one though!

GVIDO is equipped with two 13.3-inch flexible electronic paper screens. When open, it becomes A3 size and GVIDO can be handled the same way as paper score. It's 6 mm thick and and weighs approx 660 grams. It has a uniquely designed flat hinge and a carbon fiber housing. GVIDO holds approximelty 4,000 score sheets (* 1) and feels similar to that of a paper score.

With its own battery management and the low power consumption effect of electronic paper, GVIDO has a long battery life of 3 days (* 2) on just 3 hours charging. You can focus on the performance without worrying about the remaining battery power.

Just like paper, GVIDO's non-glass screen surface suppresses reflected light even under strong lighting or under direct sunlight. The pages do not turn over with the wind like a paper music score, so it is also ideal for using outdoors. (* 3).

Three infrared touch switches are equiped for easy page turning. You can also assign page feed or page return to each touch switch for easy use. You can turn pages and call your set list even when playing a music instrument with both hands by using an optional GVIDO Foot Switch.

You can write multiple comments on a single score using the included stylus pen. This can be used by a conductor who can save the comments to the GVIDO My Library service and share it with the group (* 4). Even if you are at a remote site, you can share your comments on the score all at once with multiple people.

You can store scores released from various publishers after buying them through the GVIDO store. (* 4) If you have your original scores in PDF format, you will be able to store them on GVIDO, an SD card or GVIDO My Library service. GVIDO can manage a large number of music scores and if you create a set list for each concert, you can play without carrying or leafing through dozens of score books.

You can set the page order of the score depending on the desired application. This alows you to handle times when you need to change the page order according to the performance time and avoid moving back and forth between multiple pages.

As an option that can be selected only when purchasing GVIDO, we offer a Extended Warranty that protects you against accidental damange handling such as drops, accidental breakage, and liquid spills.

Samsung Galaxy View 18.4 inch is about $500.00 on Amazon. I'll wait for Chinese knockoffs

I use a 12.9 inch iPad Pro, the screen is around the size of an A4 paper, I use imslp for all my sheet music, and it's very convenient with this Tablet, just browse, and save the score to iBooks. The Retina display also helps me see very intricate or complex passages clearly.

But for actual studying I prefer to print the score, too much staring into an iPad hurts the eye.

correct in that for ROI that would be the most appropriate but there's plenty of high level amateurs that mike like/want it and tons of them have the cash

I have the Kindle Fire.  I put some music on it, and can say that while it's great for books you will NOT be happy trying to read music on it.  It's just too small.
