Question 1

Does this monitor accept audio input over HDMI? In other words can I hook my Xbox (or other device) up to it with only the HDMI cable and get audio via the internal speakers?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can hook up the HDMI and get audio from the monitor. The audio is pretty weak though.

Question 2

Does the monitor have a headphone jack? I would like to hook my PS3 up to it and hear the audio through headphones rather than the built-in speakers.

Accepted Answer

No. The monitor has VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, and 3.5mm audio in ports (one of each), but no out ports.

Question 3

Anyone else see a yellowish tint out of box?

I feel like mines has a yellow ting over the entire thing compared my older monitor. Whites aren't exactly white.

Anyone else experience something like this?

Accepted Answer

I didn't see a white tint, but mine had and has either dead pixels or something wrong out of the box. There is a line that runs down in the middle somewhere. My point is idk but these things seem a little problematic out of the box and I would ask for a new one

Question 4

My current 24" Acer (G246HL) has an unusable set of buttons on the lower right.    I have yet to get them to work to do anything at all.    Instead, I have to regularly adjust brightness using free download software.   Is this
monitor any more user friendly than mine?

Accepted Answer

David-

I have had my monitor for 8+ months and have had no issues regarding the control buttons. My only con with the monitor is that that the built in speakers are much too quiet, but this isn't an issue if you have external speakers.

Hope this helps!

How can I get sound to come out of my external speaker instead of the built in speaker on this monitor? It sounds terrible!
