Question 1

I'd to know what type of port I need on my computer to connect to this monitor? HDMI?

Does it have speakers along with a webcam?

Accepted Answer

This is by far one of the best monitor's that I have had from Asus. My only regret is that I should of got the 3D version of this model from Asus.

This Monitor Supports VGA, DVI (Single-Link), HDMI, and it even has a DisplayPort. It does come with speaker's and a webcam.

I use my own speakers and webcam, but for the price of this monitor there pretty decent.

Question 2

How do I know if I can use this monitor with my MacBook Pro as a larger monitor? What adapters will I have to buy, if any?

Accepted Answer

I own a PC and have hooked my monitor up via HDMI because it transmits both video and sound on one cable. USB and HDMI are the best and simplest standards out there. I don't own a mac but if I did, I would recommend a single, simple cable with HDMI like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA20A0NM9908 This cable is only certified at HDMI 1.4B but I can't find any HDMI 2.0 certified cables which is the lastest and greatest of the HDMI specification. Check out you tube and search for the words How to setup your MacBook Pro to display on an HDTV via HDMI for how to do this. The concept is identical.

Question 3

Is this monitor tiltable? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is tilt-able, it can be extended to increase its height, and it can be locked into place so that it won't slide out of place. I've had this monitor for almost a year now and have loved using it.

Question 4

Is this monitor compatible with a Mac quad core tower?

Accepted Answer

Hi John,
Sorry I do not know since i do not have a Mac. I used the monitor for the PC only and it works great !

Regards,

Cuong

Question 5

Does the webcam have a microphone or is there one built in on this monitor?

Accepted Answer

The webcam and monitor do NOT have a built in mic. If you need a good mic, i recommend the Logitech 230 for a 50$ set, or the Logitech 930 for around 110$. Both have great mic quality, and can be worn for long periods, very comfortably.

Question 6

Will this work on a Late 2012 Mac Mini running OS X 10.10.2 and Skype?  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

You have to download software for the webcam, IDk how it works running an apple operating system.It you have webcame problem, I guess you can get second one.. It crystal clear with running skyp.e

Question 7

Does this monitor display Full 1920X1080 resolution with DVI or do you have to use HDMI to get full resolution? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.I have mine hooked up with DVI and all my games run in 1920x1080.

Question 8

I was wondering whether the screen (not the bezel) has a glossy or matte finish. Anyone know?

Accepted Answer

Matte finish

Question 9

Question about setting up the webcam: I hooked up the HDMI to the videocard on the PC. I wanted to use a microphone without a headset. Where do I plug the microphone in? The back of the monitor or the microphone jack on the pc. Can the webcam even be used this way? And where will the sound come out of? The monitor speakers or the PC speakers?
Thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

The monitor has line-in for the speakers.  So if you plug a cable into that your audio will come through the speakers.  It also has a line-out.  The line-out is used for HDMI connections.  If you have a game console hooked up to HDMI it will go through speakers by default.  However, if you put in a line-out cable it will route it to your pc's Line-in or to a better sound system.  As far as I know you can't hook a mic up to the monitor and have it come through the computer.  You will want to plug it into the pc.

Question 10

How do I get support.  The CD that came with it does not work and I can't get the camera or anything working.  ASUS won't respond?

Accepted Answer

go to the Asus website for your monitor you can download drivers and the manual.  Newegg won't allow me to post link.
