            It is a computer monitor. You see pictures, games and
            cartoon on a monitor’s screen. You can also see alphabet,
            numbers and words  and various other things on a
            monitor’s screen.                                                                  Monitor





              The monitor is also called Visual Display Unit (VDU) because it displays all the

              information to us on the screen.
