First PC with a monitor?

[aiucaiu]

Do you know which PC was the first to output to a monitor and not punch cards or lamps etc?

It looks like it's the Xerox Alto but i have no evidence of it.

 

Edit: What i mean by monitor is, something we would recognize as a monitor today, like a TV, something that had "pixels" or calculator screen etc.

Xerox Alto was the first computer with a GUI.

The IBM Model 740 cathode ray output converter may have been one of the first but again, I can't find anyone saying it was the first

It depends on what you consider a "monitor"

 

One of the earliest computers capable of outputting to a display of some kind was the MIT TX-2 (1958), since it ran a CAD program called Sketchpad (1963). You could also argue the Apollo Guidance Computer (1966) had a "monitor" because it displayed some outputs as human readable numbers (i.e., that was the value of the thing). Lots of early personal computers capable of outputting something to a display also used a TV rather than a dedicated monitor.

 

Also as a point of reference, the Xerox Alto computer which is credited as having the first GUI (well, modernish one anyway) was released in 1973.

Well calculators have pixels and they compute things.
