Q: can you hook up a xbox 360 to this?

A: Yes, this monitor has HDMI connections and built-in speakers so you won't need an external audio source.

Q: Speakers

A: The sound quality is as good as my 65" Sony 4K TV, but then I'm 81 years old and probably do not have the acuity of a 20-year-old. The sound is very satisfactory.

Q: Does this product include a camera and microphone?

A: This monitor does not have a camera or a microphone.

Q: Is this compatible with a macbook pro?

A: Yes, but you'll need a mini-displayport to regular-displayport cable, or other dongle in order to connect it. Example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/startech-6-mini-displayport-to-displayport-m-m-adapter-cable-black/4506325.p?skuId=4506325

Q: mounting tv

A: Using a standard 100mm VESA mount system, absolutely. That is exactly what I did, well, not hanging in the office but using a desk mounted swing arm. Most, if not all mounts will work, just make sure that they are 100mm. Also, when you get it, there will be four rubber plugs covering the holes at the back of the monitor, but they make it look like the holes aren't there. All the hardware needed should come with what ever mounting system you choose.

Q: Ship to store option

A: I visited my local Best Buy to see if they had one on stock, but no. So I ordered one and it was delivered to the store in three days.
