The updated speakers offer a clearer, fuller low end, though one tester found the improvement over the older model fairly small.
Pros: Monitor daisy-chaining, overall picture quality
Cons: value for money, refresh rate
There is more low-end weight than usual for built-in monitor audio, but deep bass remains limited.
Pros: overall satisfaction, screen size
Cons: stand adjustability, Photo editing
The speakers offer audible bass for their category, but demanding listeners may want a separate audio system.
Pros: value for money, Resolution
Cons: stand adjustability, viewing angles
Bass is fuller than on many monitors, making films and games more engaging. It still lacks dedicated-subwoofer depth, and some listeners find it weak or overemphasized.
Pros: overall picture quality, overall satisfaction
Cons: port selection, brightness
Low-end response is limited; some users find the sound thin despite a few favorable comments about basic tonal balance.
Pros: port selection, color accuracy
Cons: built-in speakers, speaker quality
The speakers handle basic audio but lack low-end impact. Explosions, music, and cinematic effects benefit from external speakers or headphones.
Pros: glasses-free 3D quality, AI 2D-to-3D conversion
Cons: 3D compatible game library, value for money
The integrated audio has effectively no bass, making the speakers poor substitutes for external sound.
Pros: adaptive sync performance, PC gaming compatibility
Cons: HDR performance, contrast
The small speakers produce virtually no convincing deep bass, so external audio is preferable.
Pros: color accuracy, value for money
Cons: color gamut, black levels
Music lacks convincing bass and dynamic range through the monitor speakers, making separate speakers or headphones preferable.
Pros: overall satisfaction, stand adjustability
Cons: value for money, reflection handling
