Kay guys if I were to get a new 2.1 for everyday use (music, gaming, movies, in that order tongue.gif), would the good ol' Altec Lansing AS4121 suffice?

smile.gif

.....would the damn ck' Altec Lansing VS4121 suffice?

i check the vs4121, there is only red light, no blue light at all and ask the shop assistant has he seem a blue light led vs4121, he said never saw 1,
hmm, any1 selling atp3? sad.gif
what about enzo 4000? i think its the name and cost around rm275
seems like my shopping for speaker has come to a halt,
they no more produce blue led vs4121?
dude, ignore those blue better than red thingy, VS4121 is suck on its nature due to the design, blue, green or red are all the same, same suck...

May i know why you search for VS4121 and ATP3? there are a lot of speaker better than these two in the same price range..

I don't really understand the function of all the Dolby stuff too well.  rclxub.gif

What you want to know? brows.gif

from your case, if you want speaker to decode the DTS/DD stuff (at least your speaker must have build in decoder), you need a digital output(Coaxial/optical) from you PC sound card (onboard/descrete)...or if you want to full use the 5.1 speaker(no build in decoder), you can use analog connection, just use your sound card to decode the sound and sent those signal separately to your speaker.

See, here's the hypothetical scenario:

I want to connect my PS3 to a BenQ E2200HD monitor via HDMI, and output the sound from the monitor's mini-jack to a 5.1 speaker set (probably the Altec Lansing MX5021). Would the mere fact that it's connected via HDMI to mini-jack to speaker gimme full surround sound? Or do I still have to buy some sort of decoder/receiver to act as a go-between or do I actually have to buy 5.1 speakers with a digital optical input? Wouldn't my PS3 be doing all the sound processing already? Do I still have to use its digital optical out in order to get full surround?

I'm trying to work on a 1.2k budget here and yet get the best video/sound, that's why I'm planning on getting a full-HD monitor and 5.1 speaker set.

Would I be able to get full surround sound from that simple setup? Or would it end up mere stereo divided into 5.1 speakers?

Hope all my questions can be answered, thanks so much. smile.gif

First of all, your monitor's mini jack is stereo analogue output, not digital output(SPDIF) that support multichannel sound, connect through this output to get surround is absolutely impossible.(from the spec, i didn't see any SPDIF terminal from your monitor, so i assume it is just analogue output, please read the manual carefully)

You got two options

1.Get the PC speaker that support digital optical connection.
2. forget about PC speaker, buy AV receiver and home theater system speaker.

Okay. Let's say I go for option 1. Any good recommendations for a PC speaker with digital optical input?

And if I went for option 2, what's the minimum price I'll have to fork out for a decent set of receiver, sub, and 5 satellites (something that'll sound just as good as option 1, at least)?
*
for PC speaker, so far i only know Logitech Z-5500 got optical input, about option B, you need to ask in Home theater thread.

I still think it's probably cheaper to just get a PC speaker set.

I read up on the Logitech Z-5500... It sounds promising... Lowest price I've seen online is about $235 USD. That comes up to about RM 820. Ouch.

Have you seen it in Low Yat? I wonder what the price is like. Probably jacked up even more.  hmm.gif

Seems to be the most affordable option for full surround sound + decent quality though.

No, Z-5500 in Malaysia is RM1499.
