Why rank by brightest screen?

An iPad is the tablet most people price first, and the Android rivals answer it on paper in a few specific places: more storage or memory for the base price, a sharper or brighter screen, a stylus in the box instead of sold separately, a microSD slot, and a water rating. What you give up is usually weight, and sometimes the screen.
