From what I understand, in such context Screen is the software "canvas", while monitor is the actual physical device. Of course, the terminology discussed here as related to GNU screen is different, but perhaps it is worth mentioning. | |

That covers most of what I'm thinking about. screen and monitor should be synonyms, a warning about gnu-screen should be placed in the excerpt and other questions regarding hardware should be tagged display.
