Need an Android tablet recommendation

[boomhower]

I am looking for a cheap Android tablet. I want an IPS screen with a decent resolution. I would like 8" or higher but I can deal with a 7" if need be. It must be easily rootable. Other than that I am pretty open. Used is fine as well, again cheap is important. Only going to use it for one app so doesn't need to be fancy, just a decent screen, rootable, and a fairly recent version of Android.

ASUS Zenpad 8 is worth a look too.

PS. I jumped the gun a little. I'm not sure how easy rooting the Zenpad is though. But did see an XDA thread showing how to do it.

Also, whats your idea of cheap? What's your price range?

$150 max. Would prefer less than $100.

Do you think that new Kindle Fire tablet is going to be any good? That sucker is only $50.

Can it be rooted?

Do you need a high res screen? I picked up an acer 8" tablet that looks like an iPad mini clone for less than $150, and it's pretty solid save for the mediocre dpi

No, just IPS. I have an original iPad Mini and while the lower resolution isn't ideal it is certainly acceptable for what I am going to use it for.

I'd prefer an 8" screed as the pretty much 8" of the iPad Mini is already pretty small but given my budget I am giving this more and more of a look.

I used to have an LG G Pad 8.3. It was a great tablet, was pretty easy to root, unlock, and load custom ROMs on it. And I see used ones on eBay are going for under $150.

Decided on a 2013 Nexus 7. Can be had for $120 easily with plain Android, fast updates and rootable. Only box not ticked is the screen size but it'll work. Thanks guys.
