Question 1

Does this monitor come with DVI cable? Free shipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes it comes with a DVI cable, but whether shipping is free or not depends on there being some sort of promotional going on.

Question 2

There is no listing of Hz.  Does this run just at 60Hz or does it also run at 120Hz?

Accepted Answer

In my opinion I think it only runs at 60hz. If it were at 120 hz I think it would cost more. I have the monitor and so does my brother and the colors are bright and vibrant. I would highly reccommend this monitor.

Question 3

How is the volume? Do I need to buy additional speakers?

Accepted Answer

I really wouldn't recommend relying on any built-in monitor speakers; they will always disappoint.  Frankly, I wasn't aware this model had them until I hooked everything up.
It has 2 2-watt speakers; very wimpy.  I would recommend getting either a Logitech 2.1 system like the Z313 (~$35) or the LS21 (~$26) or a soundbar with a subwoofer.  You really need the bass for games and even internet browsing where sound is involved.
If cost is an issue, at least get some powered computer speakers without the subwoofer; there are pretty decent sets for around $20.

Question 4

is this monitor HDMI compatable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has 2 HDMI ports.  I have my computer and PS3 plugged into the monitor, and it automatically switches between them depending on which is powered on.

Question 5

Is picture quality decent? I am looking to buy it for console gaming, Wii U. Thinking about this one or 27 model one

Mostly games like Mario Maker, Splatoon, Wind Waker and similar, so those ones with 'Nintendo' colours and would like to know if the clours are at least decent. I know viewing angles are not perfect but that doesn't bother me

Accepted Answer

Best picture ive gotten from a monitor. Menus are easy to use, settings easy to change, high quality graphics and built in speakers to boot. Cannot recommend this monitor enough!

Question 6

Will this monitor work well with my windows 10 computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes you hook it up and its pretty much plug and play. Though if you are  looking for a nice monitor for a pc there are better options on the market i got this monitor and it only lasted a little over a year then the panel went bad.

Question 7

Does this come with cables? (DVI, HDMI, etc.)

Accepted Answer

This moniter(9/10 would recomend by the way) comes with a DVI and a VGA cabel not a HDMI though

Question 8

What can I do to improve audio output?  I know this has fair speakers but can I purchase a sound bar or speakers for this?  Do they have to be a certain kind?  I'd like a really good sound output.  Thoughts?  Btw, this is a last minute Christmas gift so if anyone can answer ASAP, I'd appreciate it!

Accepted Answer

It all depends on what you are using it for. If you are using it for gaming I would recommend buying a gaming headset. If you are using for media such as movies, you would be fine with buying a sound bar. Depending on the tower and sound card you have would be the best option when looking for a sound bar. This monitor only supports 2.1 channel sound. With a 3.5mm out line.
