Monitors Its the most common type of output. Its also called VDU. The modern monitors are generally LCD(Liquid Crystal displays) or TFT(Thin Film Tra nsitors). Older monitors, the ones with a case in the back, are called CRT( Cathode Ray Tube ). Speakers A speaker or multimedia speaker is an output device external to the computer that produces sound from an audio signal. The standard audio connection is a 3.5 mm stereo phone connector often color-coded lime green. Printers
 * Lasser
 * Ink-jet
 * Dot Matrix

Lasser printers are expensive but make high quality images, are quiet and fast. Ink-jet printers are cheaper but have worse quality and speed. Last but not least, dot matrix printers are not so common. They are quite noisy, make low quality images, but are cheap to buy and run and are often used to make fotocopies. They are also much more resistant than the other printers.

Plotters A plotter can be used to produce high quality, accurate, A3 size or bigger drawings. They are usually used for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) applications, such as printing out plans for houses or car parts.
