To find which of the given x values produces the largest output for the function \( f(x) = -(x + 1)^2 + 4 \), we need to evaluate the function at each of the provided x values.

### Calculation:

1. **For \( x = -1 \):**
\[
f(-1) = -((-1) + 1)^2 + 4 = -(0)^2 + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4
\]

2. **For \( x = 0 \):**
\[
f(0) = -(0 + 1)^2 + 4 = -1^2 + 4 = -1 + 4 = 3
\]

3. **For \( x = 1 \):**
\[
f(1) = -(1 + 1)^2 + 4 = -2^2 + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0
\]

4. **For \( x = 2 \):**
\[
f(2) = -(2 + 1)^2 + 4 = -3^2 + 4 = -9 + 4 = -5
\]

### Summary of Outputs:
- \( f(-1) = 4 \)
- \( f(0) = 3 \)
- \( f(1) = 0 \)
- \( f(2) = -5 \)

### Conclusion:
The largest output occurs when \( x = -1 \).

So the answer is:
**x = -1**
