Because the post you were replying to (which I have removed as useless) had no idea what they were talking about. You're going to want to use the paintutils API as well as peripheral.wrap and term.redirect to redirect the terminal to your monitor, load the image and draw it, and then restore the terminal. Check out the wiki for more information on those APIs. This is about a five line program at most, so it shouldn't be too bad. :)/>

just to open the image without editing mode and display that on the monitor

lyqyd i have no idea what you just said up there but i still need help

Read his post. Here's his exact post in simpler terms.

1. Load the image using paintutils.loadImage.
2. Use term.redirect to set the current monitor.
3. Use paintutils.drawImage to draw the loaded image.
4. Use term.restore to restore control back to the normal monitor.

local im = paintutils.loadImage('bg')
local m = peripheral.wrap('right')
term.redirect(m)
paintutils.drawImage(im, 1, 1) -- Change 1 and 1 to the co-ords of where you want the top corner of the image to be.
term.restore()

Done.
