- Key features: Resolution (measured in pixels), Refresh Rate (measured in Hz), Response Time (measured in ms), and Aspect Ratio (width:height)
- Printer:
- Types of printers: Dot Matrix, Inkjet, and Laser
- Key features: Resolution (measured in DPI), Speed (measured in pages per minute)
- Speaker:
- Converts digital audio data into an analog signal using the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) in the sound card
Input Devices
