external monitor
Plugged-in display panel
An external monitor is a display screen connected to a computer as a separate unit, rather than built into the device.
Laptops commonly connect to external monitors for larger viewing, dual-screen setups, or better image quality: I hooked up an external monitor for video editing.
The term distinguishes add-on displays from integrated screens on laptops, tablets, or all-in-one computers.
