The full form of VDU is Visual Display Unit. A VDU is an electronic device that displays information visually, typically used with a computer. It presents both text and graphics on a screen. Think of it as the monitor or screen you see when you use a computer.
Understanding the Visual Display Unit
Several sources confirm this definition:
- Byjus.com, Unacademy, Testbook.com, Guidely.in, Quora, and Dictionary.com all clearly state that VDU stands for Visual Display Unit.
- Cambridge Dictionary defines VDU as an abbreviation for visual display unit, emphasizing its use as a piece of equipment with a screen displaying information.
- Sanjay Yadav's Quora response further clarifies that it shows both text and graphics.
While the term is less common now, as "monitor" is more frequently used, understanding VDU provides context to older computing terminology. The core function remains the same: to visually represent the output from a computer system.
