No speakers are provided. Some consider this a regrettable omission, while others see it as acceptable for a gaming monitor used with external audio.
Pros: Pixel density, Resolution
Cons: GPU demands, HDR performance
Audio must come from external speakers or headphones. One owner does not mind the omission, but anyone wanting monitor audio will need another device.
Pros: color gamut, contrast
Cons: value for money, Resolution
There are no internal speakers. The headphone jack helps, but this omission is frustrating at the asking price.
Pros: motion clarity, Backlight strobing
Cons: contrast, HDR performance
There are no built-in speakers, so console and other external-device users need headphones or separate audio equipment.
Pros: black levels, motion clarity
Cons: value for money, Dual-mode versatility
There are no integrated speakers. That absence is especially inconvenient when watching shows or using the screen without external audio.
Pros: sharpness, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, VRR flicker
There are no integrated speakers, a repeated frustration given the premium price. Console and casual media users need a headset, soundbar, or external speakers.
Pros: overall satisfaction, black levels
Cons: value for money, stand adjustability
The small speakers provide basic system audio but sound thin, weak, or harsh to most listeners. External speakers or headphones are preferable for serious work.

Cons: HDR performance, refresh rate
The included speakers are useful as a backup but disappoint with weak output and thin sound.
Pros: color accuracy, value for money
Cons: color gamut, black levels
There are no built-in speakers, so console and media users need headphones, a soundbar or external speakers.

Pros: value for money, Resolution
Cons: HDR performance, port selection
There are no internal speakers, a notable inconvenience if you want sound without connecting headphones or separate audio equipment.
Pros: black levels, sharpness
Cons: value for money, brightness
The integrated speakers are widely criticized as too quiet, thin or muffled for enjoyable audio. External speakers or headphones are the better option.
Pros: color accuracy, overall picture quality
