BenQ monitor connectivity issues
I am looking at one of the new BenQ XL2420Z LED monitors to replace my old Samsung HD monitor, if i want to get the most out of my hardware and access the higher refresh rates will i have to connect via DVI? if so can i connect to the monitors inbuilt speakers or will i need external speakers?

only that it has a 3.5 headphone jack.A review didn't mention it either.


well if it comes down to it ill use headphones until i get speakers then.

That will depend on which gpu you have.The better the gpu,the higher the fps.

I can't find anything that suggests that this monitor has build in speakers so you would need external ones.It has a 3.5 audio connector,but that is for a headphone or the same external speakers to connect to.You could use hdmi to connect so you would get the audio signal with the image signal together.
