Alienware OptX AW2210 Monitor and TactX Headset Review @ DH

We've already taken a look and the TactX Keyboard and Mouse, today we have on review their OptX HD Monitor and TactX Headset. Is this ‘outside the box’ thinking from Alienware good enough to match up with components inside the box of many higher end systems? Let's take a look...

300$ = 300 pounds , then I will order here from Egypt to get it for 300 EP (about 50$).

Remember, Alienware is part of Dell - they run specials, coupons, and so forth rather often - keep your eyes open...

Lots of companies and institutions have employee discounts available for personal Dell purchases too.

Hi all !

I've just bought AW2210 and hooked up to my PS3 throught HDMI cable but i couldn't hear the sound. Is aw2210 had built in speaker inside ? HOw can i take audio from my PS3 ?

thank for any helps.

Hey tranvanthien, I'm at my day job at present - but will check on the configuration after I get home this evening for you.

The AW2210 doesn't have speakers, so the audio portion will need an amp and speakers exterior to the monitor itself. I'll get back, unless you get an answer during the day today...

HI swimtech !

Thank you for your informations. How about the audio in and audio out port in LCD monitor ? What're they use for ?

thank you.

swimtech · Oct 30, 2009, 02:15 AM

To access the Audio Settings, press the Menu touch control, then the Down arrow touch control to highlight the Audio Settings menu item.

You should then be able to use the Right arrow touch control to highlight the Line Out Source item and select the source of the audio you desire to send out to your audio system, powered speakers, or a computer in order to hear it.

The monitor switches the audio through it, you won't actually be able to hear audio at the monitor itself.

On the CD that came with the monitor is a user's guide that shows pictures of the menus and how to easily select the various items within it.

Hi

Thank you. I've hooked up LCD to my PS3 through HDMI cable, and setting audio out on PS3 through HDMI, so is there sound come out through Audio out or Audio in port on LCD ? I've read the guide already but i didn't know much about Line out source on LCD setting. I thought they useless. Why Line out source is Audio in ? I think it must be Audio out ???

Could you guide me more details? Thank you so much.
