In computing, monitor is just another term for display screen. The term monitor, however, usually refers to the entire box, whereas display screen can mean just the screen. In addition, the term monitor often implies graphics capabilities. It's actually called a monitor because that's exactly what it's used for - observing what's happening within whatever device it's connected to.
