video monitor

Visual output device

A video monitor is a display screen for viewing video signals, distinct from a television in that it typically lacks a tuner for broadcast reception.

Professional video monitors are used in television production, security systems, and medical imaging where accurate color reproduction matters.

In casual use, monitor often suffices: The security guard watched the monitors.
