The built-in speakers are better than the typical monitor speakers and plenty usable for calls, YouTube, and everyday audio. They still do not replace good dedicated speakers for buyers who...
Pros: overall satisfaction, productivity versatility
Cons: value for money, reliability over time
The dual 9W speakers are louder and fuller than many monitor speakers and work well for meetings or temporary setups. Opinions split sharply for entertainment, with some users satisfied and...
Pros: productivity versatility, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, response time
The monitor does not include built-in speakers, which disappointed buyers who expected them. A few customer posts described onboard audio, but expert testing and other owners explicitly found none.
Pros: color accuracy, value for money
Cons: reliability over time, brightness
The speakers are adequate for podcasts and basic system audio but lack volume and depth. One reviewer found them improved over the previous model, yet they remain no substitute for...
Pros: productivity versatility, aspect ratio
Cons: value for money, competitive gaming suitability
The 5W speakers can get loud and punchy enough for casual videos, but sound quality is divisive and not a substitute for dedicated audio.
Pros: motion clarity, PC gaming compatibility
Cons: color accuracy, software support

Pros: port selection, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, cable management
Speaker feedback is weak overall. One customer says the built-in audio is barely worth having, while another only notes that sound is somewhat louder than an older version.
Pros: overall satisfaction, portability and weight
Cons: reliability over time
The small speakers are generally described as acceptable for close-up or backup use, not immersive listening. One walkthrough reported no built-in speakers at all, creating some uncertainty.
Pros: color gamut, overall picture quality
Cons: brightness, HDR performance
Speaker feedback is one of the clearest weaknesses: several reviewers call the sound tinny, muffled, or terrible, though a minority find it decent for basic audio.
Pros: value for money, portability and weight
Cons: built-in speakers, color gamut
There are no built-in speakers, and testers considered that a missed convenience for buyers without room for separate audio.
Pros: overall satisfaction, competitive gaming suitability
Cons: value for money, screen size
The dual 3W speakers are consistently judged weak, tinny, or merely acceptable for calls. External speakers are strongly preferable for music, movies, and serious audio work.
Pros: productivity versatility, aspect ratio
Cons: built-in speakers, competitive gaming suitability
Built-in speaker support was poor because multiple reviewers noted there are no integrated speakers, sometimes alongside no headphone jack.
Pros: value for money, sharpness
Cons: brightness, USB hub functionality
There are no built-in speakers, so buyers need headphones, a soundbar, or separate desk speakers.
Pros: brightness, reflection handling
Cons: cable management
