Abstract
The display monitor (or simply, monitor) is the main output device of a PC. (See Figure 11.1.) As we have seen, a monitor is usually connected to a display adaptor card or video adaptor card that fits into an expansion slot in the motherboard, although some motherboards have built in video support. In this chapter, we will discuss the construction and operation of the monitor, turning to video adaptor cards in the next chapter.
