to have on one's radar
To observe something or someone, keep an eye on them, or consider them relevant.
Die Polizei hat den Verdächtigen schon länger auf dem Bildschirm.
The police have had the suspect on their radar for some time.
The word is made up of 'Bild' (image/picture) and 'Schirm' (screen/shield). So it literally describes a screen that displays images.
Der neue Computer hat einen sehr großen Bildschirm.
The new computer has a very large screen.
To describe an activity, you use 'am Bildschirm arbeiten' (to work at the screen). To describe the position, you say 'vor dem Bildschirm sitzen' (to sit in front of the screen). The direction of one's gaze is expressed with 'auf den Bildschirm schauen' (to look at the screen).
Sie sitzt den ganzen Tag vor dem Bildschirm.
She sits in front of the screen all day.
Common verbs in connection with the screen are 'einschalten' (to turn on), 'ausschalten' (to turn off), and 'sperren' (to lock). In online meetings, 'den Bildschirm teilen' (to share the screen) is also very common.
Kannst du bitte deinen Bildschirm teilen, damit wir das Dokument sehen?
Could you please share your screen so we can see the document?
The idiom 'jemanden/etwas auf dem Bildschirm haben' (to have someone/something on one's radar) means that you are observing or taking a person or thing into account. It is not about a real screen here, but about attention.

The competition has announced a new product; we should have that on our radar.
television
Der Fernseher is the complete device used to receive and display television programs. Der Bildschirm is only the illuminated surface on which the picture appears. Fernseher is appropriate when there is a problem with the entire device, while Bildschirm is used when the display itself is damaged.

The TV screen is cracked, but the sound still works.
