display: a monitor or screen, like the one on your computer or phone.
TV is another kind of display (though it's not technically a monitor).
When you turn on your computer, the display is the part of your computer that shows the text and graphics that you see on the screen. The display can be a built-in monitor (the screen is inside your laptop or desktop), an external monitor (the screen is not part of your laptop or desktop), or both internal and external monitors together.
