Monitor

A monitor is the most commonly used output device. Monitors come in many different shapes, sizes and forms. The picture on the monitor is made up of pixels. The quality and detail of the picture depends on the number of pixels that the monitor can display. The higher the number of pixels, the better quality they output.

 

 

Speakers

Most computers are fitted with small internal speakers which can produce sounds that alert you to any error. A sound card can be fitted into a computer and external speakers can be plugged into the audio ports of a computer and then take priority over the internal speakers. These usually produce a much higher quality sound than the internal speaker.
