:'''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]].
