Jamming out to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," at my home office, I noticed that while the tablet can fill a small-to-medium sized room, its low-end sounds were a little flat, and when I could hear some bass it was slightly distorted.

The Amazon Fire HD 10's touchscreen provided speedy response times as I tapped and swiped around the Fire OS home screens. As Stormfront demolished a building's walls, I was able to see the action when I viewed the Fire HD 10 from 30 degrees to the left and right. The Fire HD 10 may be a bit reflective, but it's bright enough to be viewed from a decent range of angles.
In terms of brightness, the Fire HD 10 maxes out at 403 nits, which is similar to the 400-nit Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus, but it's outshined by the 484-nit iPad 2020 and the 427-nit MediaPad M5 Lite.
