Hey @HANNspree user! The black audio jack to the right of the green audio jack is an audio out port for headphones, and it will also work for computer speakers. This is what I use to get sound into my computer speakers through HDMI. Just make sure you’re using stereo sound, and not 5.1.

I’m still using this monitor today, I love it really..For whatever reason mine stopped doing the delay when switching to full screen… I don’t recall what I did though.. and I fixed any and all color issues using the Spyder3Express that I reviewed a while back…

I saw one of these at BestBuy on clearance for $199 but they were out of stock. So I went to another BestBuy and there it was $169 but they were also out of stock. I had the salesperson do a computer search and he found a store about 40 minutes away that had 4 in stock. When I got there they were down to 2 still in sealed boxes so I bought them both…at $119 each! I think they screwed up because that’s lower than what the were selling the 20″ for. They work perfect. 1080p, hdmi, speakers, 23″ widescreen,… I’m a happy camper.

Hi, I picked up one for $129.00 on Geeks.com. No dead pixels and not a scratch on this refurbished LCD . The only problem I seen and I new it was in the setting some where was the fonts were kind of blurry. I was looking on the menu on the monitor. Under image settings I changed video settings to PC, Low and behold nice and crisp and I was doing back flips, LOL. Now its even better. I had also changed to RGB to YCbCr444. The video card I am using is a geforce 9500gt . I tried HDMI and DVi to HDMi and all is good. Bob

Thanks. I was thinking about buying one of these from Geeks and found this review pretty easily. The Slow video switch would drive me a little mad so this was a very helpful review.

I just purchased this very monitor today at Bestbuy for $138.99 w/ additional $24 extended 4 year black tie warranty.

I have it hooked up to both my pc and my ps3. My PC via VGA and my PS3 via HDMI. The speakers to me are garbage, even with simple channel surfing. However, the clarity and response time is great. Games look pretty good.

Overall, if you’re on a budget like I was…its the right thing to do. I’d be more satisfied if there was an option to take the audio input from HDMI and then connect my PC speakers to an Audio OUT port but…nope..doesn’t work so my PS3 will forever sound like crap.

Thanks a lot for the review! I got the same monitor from 1saleaday.com and experienced the same washed out display. The settings on the monitor did not make a difference, but I also went into the nVIDIA control panel. My settings did not have the RGB/YCbCr444 option, but i did fix it buy selecting “Choose how color is set — use nVIDIA settings” and adjusting the brightness/contrast there.

This might help above poster.
LCD’s hurt my eyes too. LCD’s use fluorescent lighting. Your basically looking into a bright light. This light gives off HEV and blue light. Those types of light are very bad for your eyes. I read an article saying HEV glasses and melanin glasses can help.

Hey there!

I just picked up the same monitor from the same people on eBay. Geeks. Anyway. I use a MacBook Pro and my wife uses a MacBook. I have a question. I am completely a noob with displays. But to get a nice clear picture I would have to use a DVI to HDMI cable right? I cannot get a clear picture at all with the DVI to VGA adapter I have. It’s horrible looking and it hurts my eyes. Any help/advice?
