A display controller is a hardware component that manages the output to a display screen, converting data from the computer into signals that can be understood by the display device. It handles tasks such as rendering images, managing screen resolution, and refreshing the display. Display controllers are typically integrated into graphics processing units (GPUs) or found on the motherboard in devices like laptops and desktop computers. They play a crucial role in ensuring smooth visuals and high-quality graphics during user interaction.

The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) handles rendering and processing graphics displayed on a computer. It works in conjunction with the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to handle tasks related to displaying images, videos, and animations on the screen.
When a publisher object is selected, typically a bounding box or selection handles appear around the object. This helps indicate that the object has been selected and allows for it to be resized, dragged, or formatted as needed.
A monitor is a device that displays video signals. The signals themselves are calculated through discrete hardware (graphical processing units or video cards) or are integral to the CPU themselves.

Most graphics cards in laptops are integrated graphics, which means that the motherboard handles the graphics processing and which also means it isn't upgradeable or replaceable. Consult your instruction manual to see if your laptop is one of those that supports upgrades, and how this can be achieved.

Video adapters, or graphics cards, convert digital data from a computer's CPU into visual signals that can be displayed on a monitor. They process graphical information using a dedicated GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), which handles rendering images, animations, and video. The adapter then sends these processed signals through various output ports (like HDMI or DisplayPort) to the display device. By offloading graphics processing from the CPU, video adapters improve overall system performance, especially in graphics-intensive tasks like gaming and video editing.
