This week we're reviewing an Acer S271HL LED Monitor. At Audioholics we've looked at a lot of televisions and projectors, but we're finding that more and more, it's the flat panel monitor that's.

HDMI technology incorporates both video and audio through the same cable without the need for an additional audio connection. This differs from the VGA and DVI formats, which only allow video and require a direct connection from your audio card to the Acer monitor’s audio inputs. Although HDMI allows integrated audio, the audio portion may not be enabled by default on your computer, so a direct connection may not work at first. However, a few system tweaks will allow a functional, single-cable connection between your PC and your Acer monitor.
1.
Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your computer's HDMI port and the other end into the Acer Monitor's HDMI port. The HDMI port on your desktop computer is located on the back of the tower near the DVI or VGA connections of your video card. On a laptop, the HDMI port is typically located on the side of the laptop. Power on your computer and the Acer monitor, if they are not already powered on.
2.
Right-click an empty area of the desktop and select 'Screen Resolution.'
3.
Click the Acer monitor from the graphical display and check 'This Is My Main Monitor.' If you cannot see the Acer monitor, click 'Detect' and allow Windows 7 to re-detect the HDMI monitor.
4.
Right-click the volume icon in the system tray and select 'Playback Devices.'
5.
Click the playback device that lists '...HDMI Output' and click 'Set Default.' Click 'Apply' and then 'OK.'
