How it's used
While 螢幕 is the standard term for a screen, many Hong Kongers frequently use the English loanword 芒 to refer to computer or phone screens. Using 螢幕 sounds slightly more formal or technical, often appearing in written descriptions or when discussing hardware specifications. In casual conversation, you will hear 芒 much more often than 螢幕.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 螢幕 with 熒幕. While both are technically acceptable, 螢幕 is the more commonly encountered character set in modern Hong Kong usage for electronic displays.
