archos 7

The 7-inch version of the Archos Tablet has very few differences compared to the Archos 5 we reviewed before. See the review of the Archos 7 after the jump. I suggest reading our Archos 5 Review first before you continue to read on this one to get a better perspective. Aside from the obvious increase in screen real-estate, the Archos 7 didn't really add anything much on the Android tablet line for Archos. In fact, some of the nice features that the Archos 5 had were absent from the Archos 7. One of them is the ability to be hooked up to the Archos DVR Station so you can project the screen to a bigger display via HDMI. The Archos 7 comes in a nice 7-inch LCD display but like the 5-inch model, the brightness is good but the contrast levels aren't that great -- it's a bit washed out when set to full brightness which makes it almost unviewable in the outdoors or against bright light sources. When I learned that the suggested retail price of the Archos 7 is just Php11,500 despite the fact that it's got a bigger form factor than the Archos 5 (with SRP of Php15,500), it got me a bit curious.
