2 problems with my Samsung T240 HD Monitor!!!

Hello,

I just purchased the Samsung T240 monitor from ebuyer.

The problem is that at the bottom of the monitor I do not see rose light all the way across the screen. I only see the red light near the power button but not all across.

What's the problem? Is it that that's how its supposed to be? Or am I having a technical issue with the monitor?:cry:

And the other issue I've got is that there's no sound with the monitor when I plug the sound from the back to the green circular souund jacket. I don't know why but its meant to have hidden speakers in this monitor.

Does anyone else have the same issues?

Thanks!

By rose light do you mean the red accent around the frame? The Samung website says it doesn't have speakers, the jack plug is a line out for use with other speakers when using HDMI input. markop2003

Yes I mean the red light around the frame. That is missing on my monitor. I only see the light near the power switch.

Btw how does the jack plug speakers work when using the speakers? Surely there should be sound coming out of it, or else how does it work?!

I'm not too sure about the sound issue but the light thing is fine. I also have a T220HD. It only lights up near the corner and not across the bottom of the bezel. Samsung's ToC(Touch of Color) doesn't light up.

Hmm, yeah I don't really mind about the light. Although I can visit the shop to confirm whether the light is meant to be like that or not.

As for the sound. Do I need to buy a HDMI cable? Will a normal HDMI do me good? So do you reckon I'll receive sound if I actually connect my monitor with my graphics card using a HDMI cable and then connect the green audio jack with my computer? If so that will be great. :)

@SmokieX: thanks for your reply. So you get red light near the power button where you switch on and off? Same as me! So was it like that in the beginning? Cos strangely when I visited Currys shop I see the light all the way across the bottom..
