Given your typical 16:9/10(whatever it actually is), what would the actual video size differnence be bewteen an iPad 2 and a Nexus 7. Given the 4:3 form of the iPad it loses a lot of that screen in widescreen video. How much would the end result be?

Black bars on top and bottom? It's unavoidable for films that are wider than 16:9, let alone 4:3.

The iPad mini plays videos in landscape very slightly wider than the Nexus 7. The iPad 2 is another 23% wider than that.

Answer: 25% taller and wider

16:9 video on a 7.9" 4:3 screen would be 7.25" diagonal.

16:9 video on a 9.7" 4:3 screen would be 8.9" diagonal.
