S19A450MW has speakers but i cant find any pictures to show back, not sure how i would get sound to work through lcd speakers cos only have spare white/red leads.

at the moment on normal lcd i get sound via micro hifi!

cheers for any advice

Just googled your monitor and found the input information. Looks like in the manual it has a 3.5mm connector, so headphone style connector.

How are you connecting your 360 to the monitor at the moment?

If you have a VGA cable, then it should have came with a white/red to 3.5mm connector, then that can be plugged right in to the back of the monitor.

yeah i have a vga cable into monitor and only with red/white which go into to small hi fi

So what are you trying to do? Split it so it goes in to both? Is your VGA cable an official one? All you need is a phono to 3.5mm converter and that'll go in to the back of the monitor, but I'd have thought any built-in speaks will be rubbish even versus a hifi set of speakers.

You'd be better off getting a 360 compatible headset, turtle beach or similar (cheaper) options.
At least then you would have decent sound which makes a huge difference to gaming imo.
Also you could just store the headset on top of the 360 and then you have no more speakers stealing your desk space.
