1.) Difference between screen and monitor!


A screen is the part of any type of display device, in short a surface on which the images generated by the device, for example a monitor, are presented. Televisions, MS Surface, tablets, iPhone, cell phones, smartphones, ... all have a screen, but not all of them have a monitor. Screens are not just reserved for monitors. Most modern televisions can be used very well as computer monitors because they have a very good picture.

2.) Extended and technical to screen and monitor!


The terms “screen” and “monitor” are often used interchangeably because they are closely related and refer to the same basic concept: the display device of a computer or other electronic device. However, there are some subtle differences:

Screen:

The term “screen” or “display” generally refers to the display device that displays visual information. This can be part of a computer, television, cell phone or other electronic device.
A screen can refer to the physical display device, such as the LCD screen of a laptop or the touchscreen of a smartphone.
The term “screen” is broader and generally includes all types of display devices.

Monitor:

The term “monitor” is more specific and usually refers to the display device of a computer or workstation. A monitor is usually a standalone device specifically designed to display computer graphics.

Monitors come in a variety of sizes, resolutions and technologies (e.g. LCD, LED, OLED) and are often connected to a computer to display the images and information generated by the computer.

A monitor is typically designed to provide high-quality image quality and accurate color reproduction.


In summary, "screen" is a more general term that refers to display devices in general, while "monitor" usually refers to the specific display device of a computer or workstation. However, in everyday life the terms are often used interchangeably, as most monitors can also be referred to as screens and vice versa.
