digital screens

Pixel-based viewing surfaces

Digital screens are electronic displays that render images, text, and video through pixels—from smartphones and tablets to computer monitors and televisions.

The term often carries connotations of modern life's visual saturation: too much time in front of digital screens, digital screens are everywhere now.

Screen time discussions frequently invoke the phrase when distinguishing electronic displays from other activities.
