Tablet Measurement

[pastafreak]

If a tablet is 10.5"...is that diagonally edge to edge, or just the screen?

TVs are diagonal so I guess tablets are done that way too- otherwise theyd need to give width and height?

Diagonally, same as tv

And just the screen, not the frame/border

I understand that it's diagonal...but I don't know if that just means the screen...where images/text appears.
I'm comparing a new Samsung tablet to what I've currently got.

Oh, it is the screen.
Thanks both.

It is (or, at least, it should be) just the diagonal measurement of the screen.

For example, the full corner-to-corner measurement of the Galaxy Tab A 10.5 is 12.0" (assuming, of course, that I can still remember how to correctly invoke the assistance of Mr Pythagoras!):
