sekundärskärm

Sekundärskärm is a German term that translates to "secondary screen" or "external display." It refers to any screen that is connected to a primary device, such as a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, to extend or mirror the primary display. This allows for a larger workspace, simultaneous viewing of multiple applications, or enhanced presentation capabilities.

Secondary screens can take various forms. They commonly include external monitors used with desktop or laptop computers. However, the concept also encompasses devices like smartwatches that display information from a connected smartphone, or even dedicated secondary displays integrated into laptops that offer additional functionality or information panels. The technology behind secondary screens has evolved significantly, with modern options including high-resolution displays, touch capabilities, and wireless connectivity, making them increasingly versatile tools for productivity and entertainment. The use of a secondary screen can improve workflow efficiency by allowing users to keep reference materials visible while working on another task, or to drag and drop content between displays more easily.
