uses
Chapter
2:
Input
and
output
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Monitor
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) 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.
Use: Have taken over from CRT as primary output display for computers.
Also primary output for monitors.
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.

uses
Chapter
2:
Input
and
output
Light-Emitting Diode LED Monitor
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
within the display. Colour reproduction is better than other monitors.
Disadvantage: More expensive compared to other monitors.
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 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.

damaged, dirty, less
visible etc.
• Difficult to input high
volumes of
information compared
to using a keyboard.
USE: Advantages Disadvantages
Multimedia projectors are
used when projecting
signals from various
(Computer, TV) devices onto
a large screen.
• Classrooms
• Offices
• Training Presentations
• Home cinema systems
• Is able to project
onto a big screen
allowing more people
to see the output.
• Users can gather
around one screen
– main focal point
in classrooms.
• Output resolution may
not be the same
quality as other
devices.
• Obstacles could affect
the projection.
• Expensive to buy
and difficult to set
up.

Input
and
output
Inkjet
Printer
Laser
Printer
USE: Advantages Disadvantages
Inkjet printers are used
when low output volumes
are required.
• Home use to print
homework or single
pages/images.
• Cheap high quality
printing.
• Cheaper to buy
compared to laser
printers.
• Small in size –
takes up less desk
space.

replace.
• Slow printing
compared to laser
printer.
USE: Advantages Disadvantages
Laser printers are used
when High output volumes
are required.
• Schools
• Offices
• High quality printing
• Printing is fast
especially when
printing in high
volumes.
• Toner lasts longer
than inkjet cartridge
– cost effective.
• Prints quietly.
•Laser printer is more
expensive to buy.
• Colour laser printers
are more expensive to
run compared to
black and white laser
printers.

Dot Matrix
Printer
Wide
Format
Printer
USE: Advantages Disadvantages
Dot Matrix is a type of
printing which uses a print
head which presses against
an inked ribbon whilst
moving back and forth.
• Shop receipts
• Airline tickets
• When duplicates (carbon
copies) are required.
• Not affected by
hot/dusty
environments.
• Can print carbon
copies (useful when
additional copies
need to be signed).
• Cheap to run
and maintain.
• Very slow printing
• Poor Quality printing
• Noisy compared to
other printers.
USE: Advantages Disadvantages
Wide Format printers are
generally used when large
format printing is
required.
• Banners
• Billboards
• Signs
• Posters
• Photographs and Art
• High resolution
printing compared to
laser and inkjet
printers.
• Large printouts
• Companies are able to
print in house which
is cheaper than asking
another company to
print.
