Better than factory but......

Ok, So these went into my son's S-10. The factory door speakers are the typical garbage paper cone speakers. Now these were only 50 bucks, So I wasn't expecting much and that's exactly what I got. Yes being that they are 3 way the highs are more defined, however the lows are seriously lacking. All you can squeeze from these is a whole lot of highs and upper mids. Not bad for 50 bucks, but really should be paired with a micro sub.

I use a plotter that connects to a Serial Port on my existing PC. Does this have a Serial Port or Can one of the USB be converted to Serial.

Serial interface is quite dated. Yes there is usb to serual io converters. USB stands for universal serial bus, by the way.

Watch movies or work on a graphics presentation with this Acer widescreen monitor. The 24-inch screen offers easy viewing and can be tilted up to 25 degrees on its ergonomic stand for your comfort. This Acer widescreen monitor features 5ms response time, eliminating ghosting and lagging on your favorite shows and games.
 

Am I obligated to use the built in speakers or is there a way of turning them off on the monitor menu so that I can continue to use the Logitech speakers I currently have connected to the monitor I am planning on replacing? Thank you in advance..

Yes of course rather than use HDMI audio use your audio out jack. Click the little volume icon by your clock, then the little down arrow and make sure it is not on HDMI audio
