What is a monitor?
The monitor is the piece of computer hardware that displays the video and graphics information generated by the computer through the video card.
Monitors are very similar to televisions but usually display information at a much higher resolution. Also unlike televisions, monitors are not usually mounted on a wall but instead sit atop a desk.

Other Names of a Monitor

A monitor is sometimes referred to as a screen, display, video display, video display terminal, a video display unit, or video screen.
A monitor is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the computer, as in the hardware within the computer case, like the hard drive, video card, etc. For example, shutting down the computer isn't the same thing as turning off the monitor. It's important for that distinction to be made.

Important Monitor Facts

A monitor, no matter the type, usually connects to either an HDMI, DVI, or VGA port. Other connectors include USB, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt. Before investing in a new monitor, make sure that both devices support the same type of connection.
For example, you don't want to buy a monitor that has only an HDMI port when your computer is capable of accepting only a VGA connection. Although most video cards and monitors have multiple ports so as to work with various kinds of both devices, it's still important to check their compatibility.
f you do need to connect an older cable to a newer port (e.g., HDMI to VGA) — like if you're using a monitor that has a VGA connection, with a computer that uses HDMI — there are adapters for this very purpose.
Monitors are not typically user serviceable. For your safety, it's not usually wise to open and work on a monitor.

How to Know what DDR1/2/3... ram is using??

How to Know what DDR1/2/3... Ram is using?? Or what type of ram is suitable for my motherboard ·     You will check what DDR ram you are using first of all you can see in the motherboard. Where the ram is plug in and then in the middle of the ram slot. You can see also in the above figure, You can check How many Voltages are wrote in a ram slot. So if                2.5v ----- DDR1 1.8v ----- DDR2 1.5v ----- DDR3 1.2v ----- DDR4 So, according to the voltage, we are finding that what DDR ram is suitable for your motherboard

What are the macanism of a speaker?

H ow many times every day do you hear recorded music on the  TV , in stores, in  elevators —even in the street? You'd never hear music at all if it weren't for  loudspeakers : electric sound-making machines. Most of the music we hear around us is played back with big loudspeakers attached to stereos or tiny earbud  headphones .  Radios ,  televisions , computers ,  cellular phones , intercoms, and talking toys are just some of the electric gadgets that make sounds with loudspeakers. But what exactly are loudspeakers and how do they work? How loudspeakers turn electricity into sound When things shake about, or vibrate, they make the sounds we can hear in the world around us. Sound is invisible most of the time, but sometimes you  can  actually see it! If you thump a kettle-drum with a stick, you can see the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time afterward—pumping sound waves into the air. Loudspeakers ...

what is DIMM ? Explain

DIMM (dual in-line memory module) A DIMM (dual in-line memory module) is a double SIMM (single in-line memory module). Like a SIMM, a DIMM is a module that contains one or several random access memory (RAM) chips on a small circuit board with pins that connect it to the computer motherboard. A SIMM typically has a 32 data bit (36 bits counting parity bits) path to the computer that requires a 72-pin connector. For synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) chips, which have a 64 data bit connection to the computer, SIMMs must be installed in in-line pairs, since each one supports a 32-bit path. A single DIMM can be used instead. Originally, a DIMM had a 168-pin connector to support 64-bit data transfer. As faster dynamic random access memory (DRAM) was developed, DIMM circuit boards evolved. Modern DIMMs based on double data rate fourth generation (DDR4) SDRAM chips use 288-pin connectors to attach to the computer motherboard to enable the increase in data throughp...
