It has no speakers nor audio inputs. Will have to furnish external speakers.

If you have two separate computers for different purposes, such as personal and work use, you may find it convenient and necessary to connect both to a single monitor. Many monitors have dual inputs, making such a connection simple. However, you might need a keyboard, video and monitor switch to accomplish this task if the monitor lacks a second input. Dual Inputs Step 1 Examine the back of your monitor for the presence of dual video inputs, such as a single VGA and DVI or HDMI output. Step 2 Connect the VGA cable to one computer. Plug the other end of the cable to the matching input on the monitor. Rotate the retaining screws until tight at both ends of the cable. Step 3 Plug the DVI or HDMI cable into the back of the second computer. Insert the other end into the monitor's digital video input. Screw down the retaining screws if you're using DVI. Using a KVM Switch Step 1 Ensure both computers are turned off. Place the KVM switch on your desk where it is within convenient reach. Step 2 Locate the video output port on the back of the KVM switch. Plug a VGA cable into this port. Plug the other end of the VGA cable into the monitor. Step 3 Plug the VGA monitor outputs from each computer into the inputs on the back of the KVM switch. Tighten the retaining screws down for each connected VGA cable on the computers and the KVM switch. Step 4 Plug the keyboard and mouse cables into their respective outputs on the KVM switch. Plug each set of keyboard and mouse cables from their ports on each computer into the matching inputs on the KVM switch. Plug each cable in sequentially to avoid mixing them up between machines. Step 5 Double-check that the mouse, keyboard and monitor cables leading from each computer all correspond to the right machine. Plug the KVM switch's power cord into a nearby AC outlet or power strip. Step 6 Turn the computers and monitor on to verify the connections are correct.

Required Items

• VGA cable
• DVI or HDMI cable

To connect anything to the speakers on your acer monitor you need to use an audio patch cable that has 1/8 inch or mini headphone jacks on each end. Like this one. 5mm Male to Male Stereo Audio Cable... You connect one end to the headphone jack on your Surface RT and the other to the audio in jack on the monitor. Make sure the power is on for the monitor and that the volume on both is a third or half way up and you should be able to hear the sound. This is for the monitors user manual.

This is either your monitor or, more likely, your graphics card telling you it's going to fail soon.Try another monitor, if that sorts it you're done. If not, it's the video source (graphics card).

it happened may b due to inproper power supply.So check the monitor data cable & other connections also.

This message means the monitor is not getting a video signal from the computer.
This could be a loose video cable, a faulty video cable or a faulty video card.
It is possible the monitor is faulty, try connecting it to another computer with a different video cable. This will tell you if the monitor is faulty or not.

of course...just press the square sign button and it will get to a menu operable with the arrows..the ok option is on the menu button too...
also take a good look cause it might have auto-adjust button and all your problems will be over ..
If you problem is black spaces on the sides..change first the resolution from the driver settings(video card driver) cause if it is a 19 inch or larger ..some settings in resolution will make it display black bands on sides..

if no any power led indicator at the front panel after of shut down, the cause could be power supply failure. you will need to remove the back cover to gain access of the internal part of the monitor. look for a blown fuse or burnt parts at the power supply board. if you have an idea about electronic parts just replaced defective parts with the same rating and value. hope this can help good luck just let me know if you need further assistance.

This is not a sound monitor, it does NOT have built in speakers. You need to have external speakers that plug into the audio jack in the back of your motherboard. If this monitor did have sound, then you do NOT use an additional cable, you do not use DVI and HDMI at the same time.HDMI is for graphics and sound, and you also need a graphics card that has a HDMI port to buy a monitor with sound, or you can't use it.Monitors do not need drivers, most all OS, Windows have a monitor driver and there is no better monitor driver then the one in windows. The drivers for sound come from the graphics card that has HDMI.

I have the same monitor (i really like it a lot), same problem: Monitor does not sit up high enough, and i needed it much higher.

I'm thinking the middle of the screen should be just about eye level.

I tried this and that but had to settle for about 20 or so large books 'n' magazines underneath my monitor, it doesn' look sexy but it certainly does the trick.

can you please be specified the problem so i can help and give further solution.
