A:AnswerHello. Thanks for your question. You would connect the external speakers to the computer with either the 3.5 mm connection, USB connection, or Bluetooth connection.
A:AnswerThat's cutting it close. I have the monitor down all the way, and the height is just over 17". Tilting it FORWARD, not back, might get you another half-inch, but that's a lousy viewing angle.
A:AnswerLike most standalone monitors, it doesn't have an audio output to plug the speakers into. You'll need to plug them into the computer that you're using.
