Dear teacher:
Recently I have done a question as follow:It's hard to read anything on your computer. You should get a new_____. The answers which really confused me were screen and monitor.The answer was monitor, but I have looked up the word screen which also means one of the equipment of computer that can display things on it. Could you please tell me why this answer had to be monitor and what's the difference between the two words? Thanks a lot!!!
