External speaker options please? Could I connect external USB computer speakers to this TV?

I bought the Altec Lansing BXR1220. I think I only paid $11 a few weeks ago but now they are ~$17. Whatever... great upgrade over the crap speakers on small TVs like the Samsung 22". Powered by the TVs USB so no electrical brick to deal with. Plugs right into the headphone jack and is a huge improvement.

Pretty sure you can just use an RCA to 1/8" adapter to connect sound coming from a computer. Never tried it but since the E8's have RCA out, this solution seems reasonable.

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

i know the tv would need a usb input on it... the speakers come with a little blue tooth part that needs to go into the device u are using to make a connection.... there is also an option to connect from speaker to tv with a headphone style jack (this would not be cordless though) i use it with my imac

You don't have to use the built-in speakers if you don't want to. The sound doesn't come through the HDMI cable, it comes from a second audio cable... just like you would use to any external speakers.

In order to hear the speakers from the TV you're using as a monitor you would need to connect an audio cable to it just as you would with a regular monitor. However, if you have speakers other than those built in to the TV, those will work without connecting anything to the TV. I have extra speakers, a 5.1 surround system that is connected to an upgraded audio card in the computer. If you do not have this, then there should be a wire to connect to your computer to an audio plug on the back of theTV, just as you would do so if you have a regular computer monitor. I hope that helps.

For a large media device you probably want Multimedia Speakers not computer speakers. If your TV has a 3.5mm audio plug in it will work. However the sound will probably not be too much better than your TV speakers. Take a look at Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology.

Yes go into system preferences then sound. In sound then go to outputs then it should say like LCD Tv or something like that which is your computer. Do not select internal speakers thats your computer. The Type will say HDMI

Yes, you can connect this via hdmi to your TV or Computer Monitor. Or even to a stereo receiver. In addition, the hdmi will carry sound as well as picture.

Most likely that TV cannot drive external speakers. These are not powered speakers, rather they need to be hooked up to some kind of amplifier.. Like a receiver.

Typically, you would use a 15-pin VGA cable, (just like connecting to your computer's monitor) and a component audio if you want sound to play through the tv as well. If your computer has HDMI out, you can use that as an alternative.

No, it needs to be connected to a computer's usb port. I don't believe a TV would work for this sound bar.

Unless the TV has external speaker drivers (unlikely), you'll need an amplifier hooked up to a TV sound output (which is the way mine are hooked up to a TV).

Hi, as far as I can see, you can't hook it up as a component to another system. On the back I can only see hook ups for external speakers. I don't see any other output/input ports. Hope that answers your question.

I just don't recall there being speakers built in...I was using separate external speakers at the time I owned this display. If sound is important to you, buy a pair of external speakers or headphones for your computer, which would certainly be far better than any built-in speakers in your computer or monitor. Also, be aware that the ports on the back of this monitor do not support current high-speed data transfers.

Use the computer audio input into your television or get a 3.5 to rca adapter and use red and white audio outputs

Yes... You may also want to look at Audio engine's A5... It is larger and powered as well . Check with your tv owner's manual on how to hookup external speakers
