Screen vs Anzeige

advertisement / report / display

'die Anzeige' and 'der Screen' can both have to do with an electronic device. 'der Screen' means the surface itself, that is, the screen of a phone, computer, or television. 'die Anzeige' more often means what is visibly shown on the device, for example a number, a message, or a symbol. They can be confused because the two often occur together. As a practical rule: the screen is the surface; the display is the information on it.

Visual example for Anzeige
