Can I connect a Sky Q Mini Box to a computer monitor via HDMI.
Also, does the Sky Q Mini Box have bluetooth to connect it to a soundbar for sound as the sound on the computer monitor is minimal.

Yes you can connect a SKY mini to a Computer monitor bia HDMI but unfortunately neither the main nor minis output audio via bluetooth - only via the HDMI or an optical cable

@AHammond17 just to add to @nigea99 advice the mini can also output sound from the 3.5mm jack on the back of it

Very good point indeed - I should have remembered that.
I believe a suitable cable can be found by searching for a Nokia CA- 75U (you may or may not need the composite video from such a lead but do need to have the audio connections in the right places)

Yes, from memory jamming a standard audio-only mini-jack in there doesn't work reliably because the spacing of the poles is different. CA-75Us are about £5 on eBay: you'd probably also need an RCA to mini-jack conversion of some kind to make the audio output actually useful.
