I know there a ton of old threads about tablets and phones but these threads go out of date quick as new devices become available, so:
I originally bought a brand new Samsung Tab A6 10.1" to go with my P3A but it can be quite laggy at times and sometimes looses video signal completely, sometimes even at less than 100ft away. Also this tablet is a little too big for the controller and I struggle to see the screen at all in the sun, even with a sunshade.
No I haven't tried all the recommended android settings as I've started using this tablet for other things now so don't really want to have to keep faffing around with settings every time I want to go fly.
I've also tried my iPhone 6 and again the video can get choppy at short distances and the screen is really bad in the sun as I have a tempered glass protector fitted which is apparently really shiny and reflective.
So now I'm thinking I probably need a device exclusively for the P3A, I don't want to spend too much and I want to buy something used. So far I've seen a lot of love for these 3:
Nvidia Shield K1
Nexus 7 (2nd Gen)
LG G5
The Nvidia would be around £200 used and is supposed to have low latency, but how bright is the screen?
The Nexus 7 would be around £130 used, I don't know much else about it other than on paper the screen isn't super bright, what's the latency like?
The LG G5 would be about £200 used and is supposed to be super bright (somewhere around 800nits IIRC?), but again how is the latency?
Are there any other (cheaper) options currently available that perform well? Obviously I don't want to spend out too much if I don't have to.
