Personally, for UX, I always use screen, unless it's clearly something like a webpage or PDF/Word document (or similar).
For everything else, it's a screen.
i agree - i use pages for internet sites and pages / panel for apps
Screen as a screen is WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) in an electronic gadget whereas screen as a page is a visual design with specified resolution, dimension and orientation which fits into the paper based 2D design.
