What Is a Smart Monitor?

Defining smart monitors

A “smart monitor” on its most basic level is a PC monitor that does not need a PC to operate. This is more than the all-in-one monitor computers offered today that contain a fully capable PC infrastructure within the monitor along with using an operating system like Apple OS or Windows. The new “smart” monitors are closer to a tablet than a computer.

The new wave of “smart” monitors operate with touch screen and run smart device operating systems like Android that allow for the monitor to perform just like a tablet, albeit on a 22″ to 24″ screen. There are even versions of “smart” monitors that are designed to operate like a tablet, detached from the normal cabling and stand associated with standard monitors.

The smart monitors also work perfectly well with normal PCs by switching to a “dumb” mode when connected to a PC. Pricing for a “smart” monitor can be upwards of twice the price of an equal sized “dumb” monitor and is not expected to fall much beyond this percentage.

How does a smart display work?

The next question after what is a smart display, is how does it work. A smart display works like a smart speaker, controlling your smart home devices via your voice commands. With a screen, however, you have more functionality. You can also use it for video chats, to play videos and music and, with some models, to conduct web searches. Most offer touch screen capabilities and are designed to be conveniently used hands free–unlike a tablet.

Smart display vs. Tablet

The big difference between the average tablet like an iPad and a smart display like the Echo Show is mobility. A tablet is designed to be carried with you, and is only stationary when you are. A smart display is meant to occupy the same spot for a long time—like a land phone or alarm clock—and doesn’t take up a free hand.

Smart displays also have a much tighter focus on voice assistant commands and video-oriented capabilities. This specialization makes smart displays very easy to use, even without training: You just talk to them. That can appeal to a broader audience than tablet computers. Smart displays are also set up so that you can control smart devices, like light switches and front door locks, with just your voice.
