Hello!

My goal is to connect my laptop to my screen via HDMI and connect my speakers to my screen.
However, all the screens I find, for example this one: https://www.samsung.com/fr/monitors/business/ecran-pc-professional-serie-24-inch-lf24t450fquxen/, have a jack port, a headphone port but I'm not sure if I can connect my speakers to it!
If not, are there any 24-inch screens with an audio output?

Hello,
Do you have a laptop...
Check if it is equipped with connections for external speakers?

Yes, I can connect my speakers to my laptop and it works perfectly. However, since I move around a lot, I don't want to plug and unplug the speakers every time I plan to take my laptop.
So I want to know if the headphone jack = possibility to connect my speakers.

After some research, I found this https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00375581.html and I think it's what I wanted. Just to confirm as I'm not very knowledgeable about it.

For those who want to know how I found it, I went to LDLC and clicked on a random screen that had an audio output, then went to the technical sheet. On that, you can choose the characteristics you’re looking for, so I checked audio output and then viewed the corresponding products. I then added my additional criteria and was able to find several computers with audio output to connect speakers.

Hello

It is impossible to answer the question without knowing the specifications of your speakers, particularly whether they are powered speakers, which are suitable for almost all PCs, whether portable or not.

Indeed, unless under exceptional circumstances, PCs usually only have a headphone output, which is not powerful enough to drive speakers that are connected to an amplifier.

There is no risk in connecting speakers to a PC, but without an amplifier, the sound will be very weak.

Therefore, there are powered speakers available for this use.

My speakers are the Logitech Z625, they have a subwoofer, I don't know if that answers your question.
What I'm wondering is not about connecting my speakers to my PC but to the screen. On the screens I've found, there is a stereo audio output jack of 3.5mm, can I plug my speakers into that and get sound?

These are amplified speakers. They can be connected to any audio output or headphone jack.
