Best Monitors for speaker quality

#1

The integrated six-speaker system is unusually strong for a monitor, with pleasing clarity and bass, though separate speakers can still sound better.

#2

Clear dialogue, useful loudness and even a little bass are better than many monitor speakers, although fine low-volume control and hi-fi depth are limited.

#3

Some call the six-speaker system remarkably full and bassy, while others hear thin sound or prefer separate speakers.

#4

Sound is unusually loud and clear for a monitor, with better bass than typical built-ins; it can turn muddy at extreme volume.

#5

Voices are clear and the output is more substantial than many monitor speakers, though dedicated speakers are still preferable for serious audio.

#6

A couple of customer accounts praise adequate built-in sound, though this conflicts with expert findings that the monitor lacks speakers.

#7

Sound is a point of disagreement: some hear unusually rich monitor audio, while another reviewer found it harsh, loud and short on detail.

#8

Built-in speakers draw mixed reactions: volume and clarity satisfy some users, but others miss LG Pixel Sound or dislike muffled and bass-light output.

#9

The speakers are passable for basic listening but sound thin and lack bass; external audio is the better choice for music or gaming.

#10

Audio is serviceable at ordinary volumes but lacks bass and can turn thin with demanding music or movie soundtracks.

#11

Speaker sound earns mixed reactions: sufficient for casual content, with some clear mids, but modest bass and limited volume.

#12

Sound is a little better than some monitor speakers and works for everyday alerts, but voices can sound thin and dedicated speakers are better for media.

#13

The speakers are serviceable for everyday audio, with uneven impressions of their fidelity and loudness.

#14

Sound quality divides opinion: the speakers are adequate or surprisingly pleasing for calls and casual videos, but limited for clear, full-bodied listening.

#15

The reported integrated audio handles simple speech but lacks volume and quality for games, films or music.

#16

Built-in audio is tinny and lacks the body expected from a monitor of this size.

#17

Built-in sound is consistently a weak link, with thin or mediocre output; external speakers or headphones are recommended.

#18

Muffled sound, essentially no bass, and low output make external speakers or headphones preferable.

#19

The built-in sound lacks volume and body and is suitable mainly for basic system alerts.

#20

Voice reproduction sounds hollow or scratchy, and the overall audio is too thin to recommend for serious listening.
