_x000D_ _x000D_ What is the difference between screen and only screen in media queries? Why are we required to use only screen? Does screen not itself provide enough information to be rendered only for screen? I've seen many responsive websites using any of these three different ways: @media screen and (max-width:632px) @media (max-width:632px) @media only screen and (max-width:632px)
