Devices that display processed computer information, such as images, videos, text, or printed documents.

A visual display unit that shows images, text, and other data processed by a computer.

A monitor that uses a cathode ray tube to display images by firing electrons at phosphor dots.

A monitor that uses a flat panel display technology, such as LCD, often used in laptops.

A type of flat-panel monitor that uses liquid crystals to control the light passing through.

The smallest controllable element on a display screen. Groups of pixels make an image.

A less expensive LCD technology with fewer transistors, resulting in a narrower viewing angle and slower refresh rate.

A more expensive LCD with a transistor for each pixel, leading to a wider viewing angle and faster refresh rates.

The diagonal measurement of the monitor's face, typically measured in inches.

The number of pixels on the screen, shown as a matrix like 600x800. More pixels mean sharper images.

The number of times per second the monitor's screen is redrawn, measured in Hertz (Hz).

The distance between the colored dots that form pixels on the screen.

A component that handles video display, connecting the monitor to the CPU.

Memory built into the video card, used for displaying images.

Different pixel configurations of a display, such as 640x480, 1280x1024.

A device used to display images from a computer onto a large screen.

A sound card converts analog sound to digital signals and vice-versa for recording and playback.

Speakers convert electrical signals to sound by making a speaker cone vibrate.

A non-impact printer that sprays tiny ink droplets onto paper.

A non-impact printer that uses heat and pressure to bond toner to paper.

Image quality (DPI), speed (PPM/CPS), initial cost, and operating cost are used to evaluate printers.

Printers are classified as impact or non-impact printers.

Measured in pages per minute (ppm) or characters per second (cps).

Measured in dots per inch (DPI).
