| 332224 | 2005-03-09 07:24:00 | I recently bought a new PC based on the great advice of PressF1 members. It is marvellous ! At the last minute I changed the CRT screen and bought instead an LCD screen (ie - CMV LCD CT-720Ds 17" SXGA DVI) The speakers are incorporated in the screen and quite often I get a reasonable level of sound. I have adjusted the sound level to the highest but at times it is a bit low for some music. My query is - with these screens is it quite normal to also want speakers to give more sound - or is it unnecessary and I just need to tweak a bit more ? I have checked the settings in the "Sound and Audio Properties" Win XP and it is at the highest level. Misty |

| 332225 | 2005-03-09 07:34:00 | Hi Misty , especially to get decent levels with music you'll need to get alternative speakers to those on the monitor . I have some Altec Lansing music ones [2.1] that I got thru Ascent and they're fine - saw a few different ones at Harvey Norman recently too all set up for you to preview . Creative and Genius speakers can sound ok too , depends a bit on the budget . If you can listen b4 you buy !!! | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 332226 | 2005-03-09 08:04:00 | The speakers built into LCD's are good for beeps....and thats about it,outside of an office enviorment they are rubbish. As for speakers, The Ozaki units have a quality sound and are a good price, Personally I find creative and Genius speakers to be poor, but beauty is in the ear of the beholder..... The CM699 1600W 2.1-Channel Subwoofer Speakers(Black) and the VA303 1800W Designer 2.1-Channel Subwoofer Speakers for Personal Home Theatre --- Silver/Black Colour are very nice. |

They seem not too bad ! I will however keep the Ozakis in mind (for my birthday or something !). Misty :thumbs: |

| 332231 | 2005-03-19 00:05:00 | I use Kinyo speakers (subwoofered), they seem to work quite well too (trust me, I don't treat mine with cotton gloves:)) | Myth (110) | ||
| 332232 | 2005-03-19 01:04:00 | Alternatively you could hook up the PC to your stereo, really great speakers! And wouldn't cost you anything.......(Assuming your stereo is near the PC of course). | pctek (84) | ||
