Connecting to pc monitor

  Richy42

   Hi

   Wondering if someone can give me some advice ? My c64 mini works fine when
   connected to my TVs. I wanted to connect to my dell p1316 monitor which
   has dvi and vga ports.
   I tried a hdmi dvi adaptor which is ok but don't get sound. Could I
   connect an external sound speaker via the USB in monitor or mini ? Failing
   that is it worth upgrading to a monitor with HDMI connection and built in
   speakers ? What do you think ?

   [2]Richy42 You can get devices which can split sound out of a HDMI signal
   allowing you to send it to speakers with the video going to a monitor.
   Never tried it myself, though.

   I just ordered a Sceptre E225W-19203R 22" monitor that has 2-HDMI, 1 -VGA
   connections and internal speakers from Amazon yesterday. This way I can
   use my C64C w/ a video converter, PC with Win3.1 and the THEC64 mini / THE
   C64. Suppose to get on Monday.

   Got my Sceptre E225W-19203R 22" monitor today, work great with the THEC64.
   Nice to have sound. Now I have 3 computers hooked up to one monitor.
