The monitor attaches to the computer with the monitor cable. There are at least 4 different types of plugs used. VGA is a common cable type, though probably no longer the most popular. HDMI, DVI and Display Port are other common types. From there, the socket connects to the display adapter plugged into the motherboard, or in a number of situations, the motherboard itself. Located there will be the GPU and related components which handle the video information. In some machines, the CPU also functions as the GPU.
