screen sizes

[paul hick]

ok,here is a proper dumb question,
the wife wants a tablet computer and is looking at all sorts of sizes and we want to know how they are measured.i.e. how is a 7" screen measured?
is it corner to corner like a tv screen?

with a ruler. (oops!) diagonally, corner to corner.
unless your Apple, then they guess.

All screens are measured from corner to corner.
