    Computer output devices include monitors, printers, speakers, projectors, plotters, and discs. Monitors display visual data processed by the computer's video card. Printers produce hard copies of text and images using various printing technologies. Speakers output audio signals generated by the computer's sound card. Projectors project large images for presentations. Plotters draw images using pens. Discs such as CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks store and output data.

    An output given by the computer can be in the form of a display on the screen or a printed document or a

    song, that is played. Most of the computer output devices are common to home as well as office
    environments. At the same time, there are some devices, which are not as commonly available. Having
    said that, let’s take a look at computer output devices list.

    Monitor
    A monitor is also called as video display terminal (VDT). The visual display of the processed data, which
    the users can view is got through the monitor. Computer monitors come in a variety of screen sizes and not
    to forget visual resolutions. There are two types of computer monitors available, namely CRT and flat
    panel. All monitors rely in a video card, which is located on the motherboard to display the information. It
    is the video card, which processes the data into images, which is eventually displayed on the monitor.

    Printer
    The next of the computer output devices is the printer, which is an external hardware device, which takes
    processed data from the computer to generate a hard copy of the data. After the monitors, printers are the
    most used peripherals on computers and they are commonly used to print text data, images, etc. There
    are three main types of computer printers, namely ink jet, laser printers and dot matrix. Each of these
    printer type uses a different technology to print the data.

    Speaker
    A speaker is a hardware device, that is connected to a computer’s sound card, which outputs sound
    generated by the card. Audio data generated by the computer is sent to the audio card, that is located in
    the expansion slot. The card translates the data into audio signals, which are then sent to either the
    speakers or headphones. In the initial phase, computers had on-board speakers, which generated series
    of different tones and beeps. When the popularity of multimedia and computer games grew, higher quality
    computer speakers came into the market. These new speakers were known for higher quality sound
    effects and music.

    Projector
    It is a hardware device, with which an image like a computer screen is projected onto a flat screen. Image
    data is sent to the video card, by the computer which is then translated into a video image and sent to
    the projector. A projector is often used in meetings or to make presentations, because they allow for a
    large image to be shown, with which the display is available for a large audience.

    Plotter
    Plotters, like printers, create a hard copy rendition of a digitally rendered design. The design is sent to a
    plotter through a graphics card and the image is created using a pen. In simple words, plotters basically
    draw an image using a series of straight lines. This computer output device is used with engineering
    applications.

    Discs
    There are different types of discs, such as CD, DVD and floppy discs, which are output devices, that are
    also used to store data, hence they are also input devices at the same time. The data is sent to the disc
    and the data is embedded on the disc, which is retrieved, when required. 

    This is computer output devices information in short. All computers might not have all the computer output
    devices, but it certainly does have one of the visual output device, namely either a monitor or projector.
