digital monitor

Pixel-based viewing surface

A digital monitor is a display screen that receives and renders digital signals, as opposed to older analog monitors that processed continuous electrical signals.

The term typically refers to computer monitors, though it applies to any digital display device.

Most modern screens—computer monitors, televisions, medical displays—are digital, making the qualifier increasingly redundant in contemporary usage.
