Hello. I've just bought the NEW LG W2261V LCD MONITOR 21.5 that has FULL HD HDMI for my xbox 360 for only RM599 at IT hypermarket, Low Yat Plaza.

The problem is, I have no idea why it has NO SOUND? It just me or because of HDMI cable I mean did I bought the wrong one (it costs only RM49 in a same shop)?

Does the monitor have built-in speakers? (Sorry, lazy to google it tongue.gif )
Xbox using HDMI can output audio wan. Prototype (360) can only use 'fake' 7.1 if using HDMI cable.

Yes, I mean there is the volume setting. Then i have no clue why the screen goes 'garble' when i start the 360 then back to HDMI again.

Try borrowing someone elses HDMI and see if still got problem. If no problem with other cables, then it is your cable la.

Yeah thanks. It's possibly my cable because now it has NO DISPLAY as well. it says 'Power saving mode'.

thanks for asking.

Guys about last time was, I WAS WRONG!! I mean I didn't realize there's a headphone jack at the back of the LCD monitor so yeah, I can plugged my PC speaker port and voila. Finally had a sound & HDMI display.
