A monitor's body consists of a roughly spherical shape that is concave on three sides, with an illuminated photoreceptor located on the front of the orb.

343 Guilty Spark and 2401 Penitent Tangent both possessed high-pitched, tinny voices. [[049 Abject Testament]]'s voice also had a tinny quality, but was notably deeper.<ref name="ceaterminal2"/> | 343 Guilty Spark and 2401 Penitent Tangent both possessed high-pitched, tinny voices.
