Sorry for the delay in replying. A 'screen' tends to be used to refer to
anything that shows a picture on it, such as a computer screen, TV
screen or projection screen. However, it's normally very obvious which
type of screen is meant by the context of the sentence you use it in.

'Display', 'screen' and 'monitor' are pretty much synonymous in this
context.

Thanks,

Phil
