Multiple Questions

[theendisnearx]

Hi, I have a couple of questions related to Monitors.

Q1. In your opinion, what would be better: a monitor with good overall build quality that is 21 inches or a monitor with slightly worse build quality that is 24inches?

Q2. I'm guessing the answer is yes, but I wouldn't need a monitor to have built-in speakers if my method of sound output is through a Blue Yeti right?

Thanks a lot!

1 depends a lot

2. You have to use headphones if you use a yeti, and your sound output doesn't go through the yeti.

1. Depends on resolution.

2. A yeti is a microphone...

The monitors have the same specs

Yeah, I'm aware of the fact that you have to use headphones but it will work right? Silly question, I know

1. For me, I don't want 1080p at anyhting larger than 23in, as the ppi gets too low. Up to you really.

2. Oh. Why would that mean you would need speakers on your monitor?

No the yeti doesn't do anything with your audio it's a microphone. The headphone jack on the bottom is just to hear what the mic is hearing. Your sound from your computer still just comes out of the headphone jack on the front or back.

I have a yeti connected to my laptop right now and all the audio that comes out of it (youtube etc) comes through the yeti, if I take out the USB it will play out of my laptop so I'm a bit confused.

That's because you have the yeti set as your default playback device, you need to change it to your speakers/headphones

So then I will be able to use my yeti for audio output. The setup where I hear myself and audio is fine with me.

You really are not getting this. You don't want to use a Yeti for audio output. You want to use your headphones from your computer not your mic. You need to set your headphones as default playback device

What he means is that you should plug your headphones into the PC and set realtek audio as your playback source

Just realised something, the reason I use my yeti as the audio output for my laptop was because my laptop headphone jack is broken. Anyways I understand what you're saying and will do that when I build my new rig, sorry for being stupid
