[screen] vs [monitor]

What should we do with the and tags? Currently, there are 15 questions tagged screen and 39 questions tagged monitor.

If these tags need to be distinct, I would add the next wiki excerpts:

  • Questions about the picture as displayed on a monitor
  • Questions about hardware like laptop "screens", LCD monitors, projectors etc.

There is another confusion about screen, namely . All questions regarding the application "screen" should be tagged with that.

might be added to question in the context of watching systems (monitoring). In that case, it should be tagged .

The tag exists too which takes questions which would be a better alternative to .

Are these sensible wiki excerpts? Should the tag be renamed, like "screen-hardware" or "display"?
