The Monitor is a block that can display text on its front side. When several screen blocks are placed on the same plane, it will form a single monitor. It is useful for displaying information at a server spawn, showing a program on the monitor, and even showing the status of a IC2 reactor! (provided you have CcSensors installed)

The command used to control a monitor: monitor [top, bottom, left, right, front or back] [the name of the command to display]

So, in this case, if you typed "hello" in the name of the program part, the monitor would display "Hello World!".

The monitor can be summoned through a command or through coding with the Lua command.

The command used to control a monitor within the Lua interface: shell.run("monitor [top, bottom, left, right, front or back] [the name of the command to display]")

shell.run("monitor", "right", "hello")
