A monitor (or display) is an electronic visual display for computers.
The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry and an enclosure.
The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size.
Originally, computer monitors were used for data processing while television receivers were used for entertainment.
From the 1980s onwards, computers (and their monitors) have been used for both data processing and entertainment, while televisions have implemented some computer functionality.
Aspect ratio
The common aspect ratio of televisions, and then computer monitors, has also changed from 4:3 to 16:9.
