Is a Visual Display unit a input or a output?
Its an output device. By visual display unit I assume you're referring to one of the following: a tv, a computer monitor or a laptop screen. All 3 are output devices.

Is an moniter an input or output?
In the strictest sense, no. It is an output device only. However, touch screens are input devices, but some would say this is just the touch panel mounted on top of the screen - so the screen is an output device while the touch panel is a separate input device. They are integrated into one unit but do have separate connection to the computer. Some would say its it one unit that does both input and output since the touch panel is integrated. The case could be made for either really, its just semantics anyway. Also, some monitors have USB hubs built in, but these really just bridge the USB device and the USB controller in the PC with no actual processing of data, so really shouldn't be considered an input device either.
Is a ps3 a input device?
