The term video display does not have a strict, widely-accepted definition, but it generally refers to displays which can display images, and which accept an analog video input signal, or whose interface to the rest of the system of which they are a part is such a signal.
The signal may be either a raster type, or something else (e.g. the direct addressing often`produced by vector graphics systems).
