    Output devices convert computer information into human-readable forms like text, graphics, audio, and video. Common output devices include monitors, which display information visually, and printers, which provide hard copies. Monitors come in CRT and flat panel varieties like LCD and LED, while printers are either impact printers that physically contact an ink ribbon or non-impact printers like laser and inkjet models.

    OUTPUT DEVICES

    Output devices are computer hardware equipment which converts information into human-
    readable form. It can be text, graphics, tactile, audio, and video.  

    Most common output devices are:


    1. Monitor - It is the main output device of a computer. It displays text as well as pictures in
    black and white or color.

    – The monitor screen consists of an array of tiny dots called pixels (picture elements).
    Typical sizes of this array of pixels are 640 by 480 or 800 by 600 or 1024 by 768. This is
    also referred as the resolution.

    – Each pixel can be independently illuminated by a color. The number of colors


    displayable on a monitor can be 16 or 256 or 2 16 (high color) or 224 (true color).

    – Resolution and number of colors can be set by user.

    There are two (2) Types of Monitor:


     CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitor - was based on the same technology as early
    televisions. CRT is a specialized vacuum tube in which images are produced
    when an electron beam strikes.

     FPD (front panel display - a display technology which succeeds CRT as the new standard
    for desktop computer displays. Unlike CRT monitors, flat-panel displays
    use LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light-emitting diode) screens, making
    them lighter and thinner.

     LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor - uses LCD technology to show clear images,
    and is found mostly in laptop computers and flat panel monitors.
     LED (light-emitting diode) monitor or LED display - a flat screen, flat-panel
    computer monitor or television. It has a very short depth and is light in terms of
    weight.

    The actual difference between this and a typical   LCD  monitor is the backlighting.
    The first LCD monitors used  CCFL  instead of LEDs to illuminate the screen.

    2. Printer - Another output device to which the computer can directly send the data to
    obtain hard copy printouts of the results.

    There are two (2) Types of Printer:

     Impact Printer - a class of printers that functions by making physical contact with an
    ink ribbon before striking the page. 

     Daisy Wheel printer - uses a metal or plastic disk containing each of the letters,
    numbers, and other characters it supports. When printing, the printer rotates the
    disk to each character and then using a hammer strike each character into an ink
    ribbon to create the character on paper.

     Dot Matrix printer - use print heads to shoot ink or strike an ink ribbon to place
    hundreds to thousands of little dots to form text and images.

     Line printer - a high-speed printer capable of printing an entire line of text at


    once.

     Non-Impact Printer - prints without making contact with the paper. They are generally
    quieter and more efficient than their impact counterparts. 

     Laser printer - utilizes laser technology to print images on the paper. Laser


    printers are often used for corporate, school, and other environments that require
    print jobs to be completed quickly and in large quantities.

     Inkjet printer - The most popular printer for home computer users that prints by
    spraying streams of quick-drying ink on paper. The ink is stored in disposable
    ink cartridges, and often a separate cartridge is used for each of the major colors.

    3. Speaker - connects to a computer to generate sound
