Hello guys.

Anybody using this monitor from Acer? Just bought it yesterday. It is beautiful! But anyway, I checked their official website, it stated that there are built-in speakers on this monitor. I connected to my laptop as external display via HDMI, and there's no sound coming out at all. Tried with multiple HDMI cables including the one included in the box, no sounds. But when tried with all the same HDMI to my TV, there are sounds coming out on the TV! rclxub.gif

Acer is famous for misleading customers with its 'variety' of 'model' with different set of 'features'.
I got 8 colleagues got burned by buying non g-sync xb240h (Asia version omitted g-sync feature, but still using same model number) , then show off saying their monitor support g-sync......until I tell them the truth..... wakakaka......5 of them still doesn't believe me.......and hated me for it..... cry.gif
This is universal truth, acer built-in speaker quality is really horrible. Even budget Logitech USB Speaker produces better sound quality than acer built-in speaker.

Dang. Well, lucky its just the speaker issue. The monitor itself is already beautiful with slim frame and IPS screen, so its good enough for me biggrin.gif
