Samsung almost never uses IPS LCD for their budget line. They have always used TFT LCD. Which was what turned me off their initial Tab A offerings cos the screen looked really bad. But from the Tab A 10.1 2019 version onwards, the TFT LCD screen seems pretty good quality, sharp and detailed without the hazy quality I recall from those versions. I believe the much higher resolutions help significantly. Once Samsung stopped cheaping out on the screen resolution and the entry level processors got to the power they have today, these Tab A tabelts become viable options. I believe both the Tab A 10.1 2019 and this Tab A7 are hot sellers. They fill a need, cheap but decent larger screen personal devices.
