iPad Is the iPad 9th Gen good enough for watching movies on?

Recommend you take the display's PPI numbers into account also.

There, the mini 6 has the best spec !

Also, the Air 5, out soon, "may" include Wi-Fi 6E support !

Something worth waiting for, IMO !

I've been watching football and videos on the basic iPad and surprised at how great the image is; crisp, clean with great colors. I was debating between it and the Air and did a few side by side comparisons between the two at Best Buy and even with it and the Air next to each other looking at the same image, it was not easy to see even a minor difference between the two.

It's good enough, but not very pleasant in my opinion.

I moved from an iPad (5th gen) to iPad Air largely because of the lack of stereo speakers. Lack of stereo also means you're forced to hold the iPad in one orientation, otherwise your hand covers the speaker opening. I didn't mind the non-laminated screen, but the Air display also has 30% higher contrast ratio which makes an appreciable difference.
