output device

Monitor or speaker

An output device is any piece of hardware that receives data from a computer and presents it to users or the external environment.

Monitors display visual information, speakers produce sound, printers create physical documents.

The term distinguishes these from input devices (keyboards, mice) and storage devices: The projector is our main output device for presentations.
