 Output devices
. PRINTERS
For hard copy (printout)
 Character printer/dot matrix-low speed, mimic the t
when printing (one xter at a time), noisiness, no pict
support), low quality, cheap to buy.

.visual Display units (VDU)

for soft copy
 Cathode ray tube (monitor)-heavy, bulky but excellen
and low cost
 Liquid crystal display LCD –thin film transistor, sm
low quality vs monitor, less space.
