 The Advanced Monitor is a [[Monitor]] that has mouse (as 'punches') support, and can use the [[Color_(API)|Color API]] for screen colors. They resemble the traditional computer console, but are golden coloured to match their crafting [[recipes|recipe]]. By default, an advanced monitor has a [[resolution]] of 7 pixels horizontally by 5 pixels horizontally, but this can be increased by using the monitor API and combining monitors (see explanation on the [[resolution]] page).

 The Advanced Monitor introduces two new methods: ''[[term.setTextColor|monitor.setTextColor]]([[colors (API)#colors|color]])'' and ''[[term.setBackgroundColor|monitor.setBackgroundColor]]([[colors (API)#colors|color]])''. These functions allow you to draw text with a specific foreground and background color. Please note that both spellings of the word color are accepted.
-To use an Advanced Monitor, you need to either call a method directly using [[peripheral.call]](), or, wrap the monitor using the [[Peripheral_(API)|Peripheral API]]. Wrapped monitors provide all functions listed in the [[Term_(API)|Term API]].
