local side = "left"  -- change this
if peripheral.getType(side) ~= "monitor" then
    print("No monitor on that side")
    return -- Neatly exits the program
else
    local monitor = peripheral.wrap(side)
    term.redirect(monitor)
end

All future output will redirect to the monitor on whichever side you specify.

To return the output to the computer again use


term.restore()
