In sound parlance, any device that allows a performer to hear themselves. Also applies to most all forms of non end user playback.
On stage, the monitors are usually wedge shaped speakers that point toward the performers. They are mixed to provide the sound that is not present on stage, usually vocals, keyboards, and other non amped instruments, although they often reinforce such instruments.
Larger concerts will have a monitor mixer and engineer that is off to the side of the stage with a special multiple bus console which is fed via a stage splitter. Smaller concerts use the auxiliary buses on the main console.
In studio, the monitors are both for performer and producer, the latter often using speakers called studio monitors and the former commonly using headphones. These allow both parties to hear the mix and, most importantly, allow the performer to hear themselves. The studio monitor speakers are used to mix down the performance, and to monitor the performer.
Common types are Stage Monitors, Studio Monitors, In-Ear Monitors, and Isolation Headphones.

1. The space between monitors that exposes light when using a dual or triple monitor setup.
2. The gaping hole or crack between two monitors. If the dual monitor setup has monitors from multiple manufacturers, the vagina tends to be extremely wide (large).

Power Savage had to be a sober monitor at the rager because he was too power hungry at chapter meeting.

is an extension of it's true meaning. someone who polices the halls and rats on fellow peers for petty power, self esteem and approval from elders. someone who gets off or generally thinks they are in charge by randomly busting you. self appointed judges of anything.
who do you think you are, the fucking hall monitor?

Monitor Stalking – Someone who glances between two monitors but stares at each monitor in utter confusion while making it appear as though they are attempting to work.
Accountant 1 - I sure wish I had my bank statements.
Accountant 2 - For sure, it's too bad your accounting assistant suffers from monitor stalking.
