Monitors designed to display electronic images either in real time as they are obtained using a video camera or from a video or digital versatile disk player, a television system, or from a digital computer or computerized network. These monitors typically include electronic circuitry to process the video signal and a screen (e.g., cathode ray tube, liquid crystal or plasma display, projection sets) to display the image. Video monitors may be used for many purposes, including monitoring patient activity and displaying non-diagnostic images during surgical, endoscopic, and fluoroscopic procedures. Monitors that display images with a higher definition than the standard television monitors (i.e., high-definition video monitors) are also available.
