that.. i'm not sure. i didn't mess with 7.1 system before. lol.. ask some other audiophiles. hahaha

but what's the use if you connect to monitor through hdmi.. the monitor can't output 7.1, even if it came with an audio out jack. the 3.5mm just stereo..

go to ps3 sound setting, and set a different output..

through that red/white cable?

erm.. have you dealt with all these connections before? or first timer?

the red/white cable is the cable that carry the audio signal to.. your hi-fi, amp, speaker, etc..


i think there's digital optical out also.. don't really have idea on that.. but you might wanna check that up.

y-connector.. depending on speakers. my speakers, i can say i'm very satisfied. hehe.. and y-connector is very useful. i use it to output my laptop to home hi-fi amp.. very nice.

the monitor sound, i guess i can give example like sound blasting from handphone's external speaker?

a decade's old 2.1 altec lansing speaker.. haha.. didn't bother to change because so far it's still doing its job well.

there's a demo unit at 2nd floor, the Acer shop.. selling for rm650 (best price)..

but when i asked about dead pixel warranty.. the promoter went blur and dunno what's dead pixel. so i walked away from the shop.. lol

unless the monitor got 1:1 pixel mapping feature. ^^,

The incorrect aspect ratio (16:10) didn't bother you?

basically the monitor has 1:1 mapping.. just that he prefers to have it stretched to full.

For me, it's a minor issue, at times a lil (just a lil) disturbing when using the desktop/browsers. Not an issue for gaming/watching movie. But i guess after a while you'll get used to it, or maybe it's only disturbing for those who are used to monitors with better gray scale performance.
