"The small screen" is a common phrase. Several recent articles even discussed at length how the smallness of the screen changed the experience of what the writer was watching.  The self-absorbed authors did not make it clear whether they were watching a TV, a desktop computer, a laptop with a smaller screen, or an even smaller iPhone, iTouch or cell phone.

Each one of the above devices stood for "the small screen."  I’ll take a stab that the age of the author is directly proportional to the size of said author’s screen. Meaning, the older the author, the bigger his or her so-called "small" screen.
