:'''Power saving'''
Most modern monitors will switch to a power-saving mode if no video-input signal is received. This allows modern operating systems to turn off a monitor after a specified period of inactivity. This also extends the monitor's service life. Some monitors will also switch themselves off after a time period on standby.

Most modern laptops provide a method of screen dimming after periods of inactivity or when the battery is in use. This extends battery life and reduces wear.

:'''Indicator light'''
Most modern monitors have two different indicator light colors wherein if video-input signal was detected, the indicator light is green and when the monitor is in power-saving mode, the screen is black and the indicator light is orange. Some monitors have different indicator light colors and some monitors have a blinking indicator light when in power-saving mode.

:'''Integrated accessories'''
Many monitors have other accessories (or connections for them) integrated. This places [[Computer port (hardware)|standard ports]] within easy reach and eliminates the need for another separate [[USB hub|hub]], [[Webcam|camera]], [[microphone]], or set of [[Computer speaker|speakers]]. These monitors have advanced microprocessors which contain codec information, Windows interface drivers and other small software which help in proper functioning of these functions.

:'''Ultrawide screens'''
{{Main|21:9 aspect ratio}}
Monitors that feature an aspect ratio greater than 2:1 (for instance, 21:9 or 32:9, as opposed to the more common 16:9, which resolves to 1.7{{overline|7}}:1).Monitors with an aspect ratio greater than 3:1 are marketed as super ultrawide monitors. These are typically massive [[curved screen]]s intended to replace a [[multi-monitor]] deployment.

:'''Touch screen'''
{{Main|Touchscreen}}
These monitors use touching of the screen as an input method. Items can be selected or moved with a finger, and finger gestures may be used to convey commands. The screen will need frequent cleaning due to image degradation from fingerprints.

:'''Sensors'''
* Ambient light for automatically adjusting screen brightness and/or [[color temperature]]
* Infrared camera for [[biometrics]], eye and/or face recognition. Eye tracking as user [[input device]]. As [[lidar]] receiver for [[3D scanning]].

===Consumer features===
:'''Glossy screen'''
{{Main|Glossy display}}
Some displays, especially newer flat-panel monitors, replace the traditional anti-glare matte finish with a glossy one. This increases [[color saturation]] and sharpness but reflections from lights and windows are more visible. Anti-reflective coatings are sometimes applied to help reduce reflections, although this only partly mitigates the problem.

:'''Curved designs'''
{{Main|Curved screen}}
Most often using nominally [[flat-panel display]] technology such as LCD or OLED, a concave rather than convex curve is imparted, reducing geometric distortion, especially in extremely large and wide seamless desktop monitors intended for close viewing range.

:'''3D'''
{{Main|Stereo display}}
{{See also|Active shutter 3D system|Polarized 3D system|Autostereoscopy}}
Newer monitors are able to [[Stereoscopy|display a different image for each eye]], often with the help of special glasses and polarizers, giving the perception of depth. An autostereoscopic screen can generate 3D images without headgear.

===Professional features===
:'''Anti-glare and [[Anti-reflective coating|anti-reflection]] screens'''
Features for medical using or for outdoor placement.

:'''Directional screen'''
Narrow viewing angle screens are used in some security-conscious applications.

[[File:Monitor-Eizo-CG277-BK-27inches-01.jpg|thumbnail|[[Eizo ColorEdge]] monitor with screen hood]]
:'''Integrated professional accessories'''
Integrated screen calibration tools, screen hoods, signal transmitters; Protective screens.

:'''Tablet screens'''
{{Main|Graphics tablet/screen hybrid}}
A combination of a monitor with a [[graphics tablet]]. Such devices are typically unresponsive to touch without the use of one or more special tools' pressure. Newer models however are now able to detect touch from any pressure and often have the ability to detect tool tilt and rotation as well.

Touch and tablet sensors are often used on [[sample and hold]] displays such as LCDs to substitute for the [[light pen]], which can only work on CRTs.

:'''Integrated display LUT''' and '''3D LUT tables'''
The option for using the display as a reference monitor; these calibration features can give an advanced [[color management]] control for take a near-perfect image.

:'''Local dimming backlight'''
Option for professional LCD monitors, inherent to OLED & CRT; professional feature with mainstream tendency.

:'''Backlight brightness/color uniformity compensation'''
Near to mainstream professional feature; advanced hardware driver for backlit modules with local zones of uniformity correction.
