B. Use a 3.5 mm stereo mini pin cable (sometimes referred to as 1/8” stereo mini pin) to connect the audio. Connect the 3.5 mm end of the audio cable to the VGA AUDIO jack on the back of the TV. Connect the other end to the Audio Output jack on the PC.

Notes: The maximum panel resolution is 1366 x 768. Be sure to set your PC to the correct monitor output setting.
