I don't really have enough space for a TV and a computer, so I'm looking at getting a really big monitor to suit both needs. Obviously HDMI input is what I'm looking for, but how do I play audio from say, an Xbox360 or chromecast that is plugged in to my monitor via HDMI?

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm thinking about the 30" deli monitor and I guess it just has an audio out (which is good because I'd really rather not pay extra for built-in speakers that are definitely terrible).

I have a Dell U3014, which looks great and all, but for the last few months it's been doing this thing where it intermittently loses it's connection, goes to sleep, and then starts up again (or doesn't until I plug it back in). HDMI to my PS4 is usable, and only dies once every few hours, but thunderbolt to display port is awful on my macbook and it goes out constantly.

I've googled all over and I can't really find anyone else reporting this problem, except for one person who brought it up and reported that removing bluetooth devices from the proximity of their monitor fixed it. That's not doing it for me, though.

So, has anyone heard of anything like this? I've had the monitor for less than a year, is this the kind of thing that might be under warranty?

Apologize if this is asked a lot, I only went back ~ 10 pages. Will a monitor stand like this work with a 30" monitor in portrait mode?
