monitor, touch screen (as an output device), multimedia
projector, laser printer, inkjet printer, dot matrix printer,
wide format printer, 3D printer, speakers, motors, buzzers,
heaters, lights/lamps
Starter Activities:

1. Make a list of as many Output devices you can think

of.  
2. Which device is best to use in a bookshop to print
huge charts
3. Identify the following device.
In-Plane Switching IPS/LCD Monitor

Use: IPS is generally used by creative professionals (professional graphic

artists).

Advantage: Has wide viewing angles by altering the direction of the pixels Flat Screen
within the display. Colour reproduction is better than other monitors.

Disadvantage: More expensive compared to other monitors.

Light-Emitting Diode LED Monitor

Use: LED monitors are generally used outdoors in store signs, destination
signs and billboards due to their level of brightness.

Advantage: LEDS produces better light which improves the colour definition Flat Screen
and can be used outdoors in different types of light. LED are also energy
efficient and can last along time.

Disadvantage: More expensive compared to other monitors.

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Monitor
Use: As primary output display for computers.

Advantage: Cheaper than other monitors and can be used with light pens.
Resolution is also very good.

Disadvantage: Size is bigger – requires more desk space.

Could be a safety hazard if not correctly supported.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Monitor

Use: Have taken over from CRT as primary output display for computers. Also
primary output for monitors.
Flat Screen
Advantage: Smaller and lighter so less desk space required.
Consumes less power and does not generate as much heat as CRT monitors.

Disadvantage: Resolution may not be as good as a CRT monitor.
