QuestionHow do I connect my ps5 to the monitor
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I own this monitor and wondered the same thing when I first bought it. Because it has a micro HDMI port, you'll have to purchase that specific type of cable to connect the PS5 to the monitor (Amazon has inexpensive micro HDMI 2.1 cables). So, in other words, the monitor is compatible to connect to the PS5, but only with a "micro" HDMI 2.1 cable. The downside is (at the time of this writing) the PS5 does not output 21:9 Ultrawide (or wider) resolutions. So, you'll have to lower your output (black bars) or play with a stretched picture on your display. I hope this answer helps.

QuestionI'm assuming this has no built in speakers? As I don't see any mention of them.
Asked 3 years ago by Todd.
- Answer Yes it has built in speakers. The sound quality is ok if you sit near it. The monitor is also very buggy, I've had this for 3 weeks and i keep the monitor volume at 20 or 30 and it consistently increases throughout the day to 50 or 60 before I turn it back down. Using the smart tv apps like Netflix or any other app the audio will only come out through the monitor speakers. It won't matter if your PC speakers are connected, the sound for the built in apps don't work with PC speakers. However you'll have to just use your web browser on the computer for your computer speakers to work.

QuestionI hooked up my Macbook pro and air to this monitor can someone tell me why I am getting black bars on the side and not getting full wide screen
Asked 2 years ago by Los.
- Answer Sounds like the ratio is off. Try doing this on the monitor: Settings > Picture > Picture Size Settings > set the ratio to 21:9.

Asked 1 year ago by Marco.
- Answer This monitor does have Bluetooth so you should be able to connect a soundbar with Bluetooth to it. I have studio speakers connected to my PC. Cannot for sure tell you if it works like that or not.

QuestionI recently got this monitor. I love it, but it’s so annoying to work with the Xbox series s. A regular mico isn’t working and I’ve tried everything. It will turn the Xbox s on, but won’t connect.
Asked 2 years ago by XBOXSISSUES.
- Answer If you purchased that Insignia Micro HDMI cable, that will not work because that cable has a transfer speed of 10.2 Gbps. You need one that can hit 48 Gbps. Best Buy does not offer a Micro HDMI 2.1 cable. You would need to buy one elsewhere. I bought the UGREEN cable from Amazon and it has worked perfectly.
