A video monitor is a device similar to a television, used to monitor the output of a video generating device, such as a video camera, VCR, or DVD player. It may or may not have audio monitoring capability.
Unlike a television, a video monitor has no tuner and, as such, is unable to independently tune into an over-the-air broadcast.
One common use of video monitors in is Television stations and Outside broadcast vechicles, where broadcast engineers use them for confidence checking of signals throughout the system.
Video monitors are also used extensively in the security industry with Closed-circuit television cameras and recording devices.
