viewscreen
Ship's forward display
A viewscreen is a display screen for viewing images or information, especially on a ship or spacecraft.
The term belongs largely to science fiction, where it describes the main visual display on a starship bridge: The alien vessel appeared on the viewscreen.
Outside fiction, viewscreen occasionally describes any monitor or display panel.
