Good for Large format display Plasma panels, however, are expansive, have large pixel size (~1mm as compared to ~). Phosphor depletes with time and are less bright than CRT Hardcopy Devices Inkjet Printer Laser Printer Film Recorder Electrostatic Printer and Pen Plotter Input Devices Locator Devices: to indicate a position and/or orientation to select a displayed entity Tablet, Mouse, Trackball, Joystick, Touch Panel, Light Pen Keyboard devices: to input a character string Alphanumeric keyboard (coded - get single ASCII character) Valuator Devices: to input a single value in the space of real numbers Rotary dials (Bounded or Unbounded), Linear sliders Choice Devices: to select from a set of possible actions or choices Function keys Human .
