MONITOR

 ~ WHAT IS MONITOR 
A monitor is an electronic output device that is also known as a video display terminal (VDT) or a video display unit (VDU). It is used to display images, text, video, and graphics information generated by a connected computer via a computer's video card. Although it is almost like a TV, its resolution is much higher than a TV. The first computer monitor was introduced on 1 March 1973, which was part of the Xerox Alto computer system.
Who invited the monitor?
The first cathode-ray monitor was invented by Karl Ferdinand Braun in 1897 at the same time when he invented the first cathode ray tube.
1.TYPES OF MONITOR 
There are five types of monitor?
1.LCD 
2.LED 
3.OLED 
4.CRT 
5.PLASMA 
 1. LCD (LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY)

LCD Monitor

LCD is known for ‘Liquid Crystal Display’ made of liquid crystals. It is the most used monitor worldwide, as it requires less space, consumes less electricity, and produces relatively less heat than an old CRT monitor.  This display was first used in laptopsand later the manufacturers also being produced for Desktop Computers range from 17 inches to 60 inches. Being these monitors need less space and light in weight, they do not create any trouble in transporting and moving them from one place to another.

2.LED (LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE)

Led monitor

LED’s full form is ‘Light Emitting Diode’ is the latest innovation in the market today’s market competing with LCDs and Plasma Monitors. These types of monitors are slightly curved or flat panel displays that use light-emitting diodes for backlighting on the screen instead of cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) for back-lighting.

LED displays are more bright with 4k resolution than other displays, due to which it can be read or seen easily in daylight time. LED monitors use less power than LCDs as well as LEDs are widely used by gamers for playing high graphics and HD games.

3.OLED(ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)

OLED stands for “Organic Light Emitting Diode“. As the name suggests, it is made of organic material (such as carbon, plastic, wood, and polymers), that used to convert electric current into light. 

This is also the latest display technology used in displays of television, computer screen, game consoles, PDAs, or even in the latest smartphones. It can be thinner or lighter with a higher contrast ratio than LCDs. Since these LEDs are capable enough to produce a lot of different colored light, can be used directly to produce the correct color and there is no need for any backlight, which saves power also requires less space. The OLED display is considered great for watching movies.

4. CRT(CATHODE RAY TUBE )

Here CRT means “Cathode Ray Tube”. Its main part is the Cathode Ray tube which is called the “Generally Picture tube”. The above image is of the CRT monitor and was used in a few decades ago as a desktop computer or to watching TV.

CRT monitors are much heavier in size as compared to LCD and LED monitors. Due to being heavy, they have much trouble while moving and transporting from one place to another. Also, they need more space for installation.

As they now disappeared from the market quickly in the last few decades, because display manufacturers switched their production lines from CRT 4:3 displays to LCD 16:9 widescreen displays in order to survive the transition to the digital world widescreen television of LEDs or LCDs.

Since they were more popular a few decades ago, but still you can have a secondhand version of the CRT monitor in the market.

CRT monitors being older television sets. That’s why are not only bulky but also consume a lot of electricity. 

5.PLASMA

Plasma Monitor


The Plasma monitor panel (PDP) is made of Plasma technology is another latest types of computer monitor technology. Display of plasma made with cells. These cells are filled with ‘electrically charged Ionized Gas‘. Such cells are called Plasma.

The basic idea behind its invention is that it illuminates the tiny colored fluorescent lights that create image pixels. Each pixel is made of three fluorescent lights like a tiny neon light- red, green, and blue lights. that produces a superior contrast ratio, along with the intensity of these lights also vary accordingly.

In addition, it has the advantage of slimness, a plasma display is flat rather than slightly curved as an LCDs has. It cuts down image distortion and glare through its perfect flat screens.

A plasma display offers a good response, superior performance, time, and a much wide viewing angle as compared to LCDs. Plasma displays come in sizes up to 60 inches that can be considered the best home theater and HD television.

The major disadvantage of plasma monitors is their limited production and screen size Plasma monitors are heavier in size a well as consume more electricity, on average than LCD monitors.

2.CPU ( CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT )

The CPU is brain of the computer connecting all the circuits needed to process   input, store data, and output results.

The CPU is constantly following instructions of computer programs that tell it which data to process and how to process it. Without a CPU, we could not run programs on a computer.
For example, a simple calculator program might instruct the CPU to take two numbers, 2 and 2, add them, and send back the result.
An illustration of a CPU. The CPU is shown as a tall rectangle with silver pins coming out of the left and right sides. An arrow flows from the left with binary numbers and arrow flows to the right with more binary.
The CPU can process those instructions easily, thanks to a control unit that knows how to interpret program instructions and an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) that knows how to add numbers. With the control unit and ALU combined, the CPU can process much more complex programs than a simple calculator.

Inside the CPU

At the hardware level, a CPU is an integrated circuit, also known as a chip. An integrated circuit "integrates" millions or billions of tiny electrical parts, arranging them into circuits and fitting them all into a compact box.

3.keyboard a 

computer keyboard is an input device that allows a person to enter lettersnumbers, and other symbols (together, these are called characters) into a computer. It is one of the most used input devices for computers. Using a keyboard is often called typing.

A keyboard contains many mechanical switches or pushes buttons called "keys".

~Mouse  

computer mouse is a handheld hardware input device that controls a cursor in a GUI (graphical user interface) and can move and select the texticonsfiles, and folders on your computer.

For desktop computers, the mouse is placed on a flat surface (e.g., mouse pad or desk) in front of your computer. The picture is an example of a Logitech desktop computer mouse with two primary buttons and a wheel.
