+## Using monitors instead
+
+Basalt can render to monitors instead of the terminal. Here's how to use monitors:
+
+```lua
+local basalt = require("basalt")
+
+-- Get a reference to the monitor
+local monitor = peripheral.find("monitor") 
+-- Or specific side: peripheral.wrap("right")
+
+-- Create frame for monitor
+local monitorFrame = basalt.createFrame():setTerm(monitor) -- :setTerm is the important method here
+
+-- Add elements like normal
+monitorFrame:addButton()
+    :setText("Monitor Button")
+    :setWidth(24)
+    :setPosition(2, 2)
+
+-- Start Basalt
+basalt.run()
+```
+
