I hook up to this screen has louder speakers and sounds better

My old phone has a better speaker than this monitor

First attempt had dead pixels, the second attempt was perfect, as everyone said, the speakers are crap

The monitor has a beautiful screen but poor speakers.

but hey, external speakers aren't expensive.

It was also easier to put together and has a solid speaker

Built-it speakers are a joke

The speakers are a joke

I do not care about the speakers--I'll buy speakers if I want good speakers

Other reviewers panned the speakers - I do not share their view, because this is a home computer setup for general use, not gaming nor audio reference,

This has a nice picture and nice functions but the speakers are useless

Honestly I don't hold the bad sounding speakers against tv/monitor manufacturers they don't have space for remotely decent speakers

my only complaints are that the speakers are a little quiet and

For me this was not an important feature, because if sound quality was a concern, it would make more sense to incorporate "sound system" speakers e,g, Bose or top shelf speaker mfg.

The speakers on this monitor are ridiculously bad

so far I am impressed, the speaker isn't very loud though

Gotta go spend more $$$ on decent speaker now.

The speaker quality is lacking, hard to hear and poor sound quality speakers

The speakers are probably good for monitor speakers

We decided an external speaker was better for one of my computers than the monitor sound

Minus 1/2 star for the built-in speakers (horrible and should have been left out)

the internal speakers is a little weak, however the height and tilt adjustable mount makes up for it in spades.

The speakers are VERY QUIET but the video looks better than expected

You will have to purchase other speakers as well.

However, why do they even bother putting in substandard speakers if you can’t hear them?

Keep in mind that the speakers are anemic and possibly worse than a cell phone, and that there is only one HDMI and one VGA port

The screen is responsive and the speakers are decent

My concern was not the speakers (seriously, only high end monitors have great speakers), but because of the 'grayish' screen everyone was talking about.

The speakers are very bad, and digital tears happen when just scrolling on a mouse on the fast reponse setting

They're about as good as my ancient iPhone 6 speakers, which is pretty bad for desktop speakers

Speaker is mediocre, but I liked it so much I bought a second one.

The speakers are nice and the picture is really nice

They are a great size and even though the speakers are not super great it is nice to have them for Skype business meetings

Speaker is nice to have although not hi-fi as would be expected

so I could plug in my portable speakers to them if I wanted to

The audio speaker non sufficient, it is terrible actually

I try to plug in my speakers into this monitor day one and nothing, like no sound at all and i tried other devices on the speaker and it works fine

It's a fairly modest monitor, but great value for the price (solid 1080p/60Hz display, passable speakers if you need a temporary solution, adjustable mount).

Yes, the speaker is poor, didn't buy it for the speaker.

The speakers sound very cheap, so had to turn those off and stick with normal computer speakers.

Also, I don't use the speakers in the monitor since I use this for my office and there are people around me, but for the people that care, speaker is very very weak

you can buy any cheap speakers and will likely be better then the ones built in if you really care about the sound quality

The speakers always were terrible.

The speakers are horrendous, though.

Great resolution and the speakers are a great add on.

Good resolution, but speakers are not loud enough.

Great picture, terrible speakers

The reason I am giving it three stars instead of five is that the speakers are TERRIBLE

The speakers aren't great as many have said, but I prefer standalone speakers

Speaker is very poor and exits behind the screen, low volume even when set on high

It took some doing, but I figured out how to give control back to the PC and get sound to come out of real speakers and not the god awful speakers in this monitor.

I love my monitor but the speakers are wack!!!!!

The speakers are crap nothing like the HP monitor I replaced this one with.

Works great with my Mac Mini, good price, speakers are terrible

I thought the speakers are fine overall, audio is loud enough and understandablefor sure.

The speakers aren't amazing, but they have good sound quality for the most part

Pros: resolution is great (HD), adjustable tilt, adjustable height, HDMI ports, integrated speakers includedCons: the integrated speakers are not great, but they do the trick if you need them.

speaker are not very loud

Even the cheapest smallest speakers out there will probably have better sound than this thing

The latest iPhones actually have better speakers than this monitor

My big gripe is that the speakers in this monitor are really substandard.

Speaker not as great as I thought

The speakers are not good

But the speakers on this monitor were terrible

Couple it up with some good speakers and you can make it a decent gaming experience too

Speaker is on the back, hard to make out conversation during online meetings (especially if you have people who talk low in general)

The internal speaker is very, very poor

Great screen, speakers are not that loud but most built in ones aren't

Works great with my Mac Mini, good price, speakers are terrible

With 3 of these plugged into my Nvidia GX1070 it shows up as three separate speakers, there is no way to bridge all three or to use them as L R C.tl;dr High quality for price, speakers are useless.

I was hoping these speakers would be tolerable so that I could go without independent speakers.

However, the speakers are not good, but that shouldn't be a reason to not buy it; buy it for the relatively great picture, not the speakers.

Great picture, terrible speakers

Speaker failed just days into regular use

Disappointed that speakers didn't work on first monitor and then did not work on replacement.

The speakers are not good, just keep the audio Bluetooth or audio cable disconnected

The only thing is that the speakers aren't that great and the sound isn't perfect from them.

The audio speaker non sufficient, it is terrible actually

Weak speakers, minor blurring at times of very fast moving video

Speaker is mediocre, but I liked it so much I bought a second one.

Got this originally as a second monitor option due to the built in tilting, but now I'm using it as a TV for my Switch and PS4 while the speakers aren't the greatest (which was expected) the visual quality and colors are amazing

The only beef I have with it is the speakers are a lil too quiet for my taste

I agree with most of the reviews that the speakers are very weak - I have to use headphones or other speakers

The speakers are an added bonus although they're not great

The only thing I wish it had was a louder speaker

FYI the speakers are weak, so if that matters get something else.

The big question, will I fork out more money for decent speakers and keep this monitor or send it back

At its highest, the sound is barely audible with any type of ambient noise, there is no bass to speak of, and the over all quality is tin-ey; basically what you'd expect from a pair of extremely cheap speakers

The speaker could be better, but it gets the job done.

The controls are ok but could be better and as others have said the speakers sound horrendous

When I hooked up the first monitor I received, I thought that maybe the speakers were defective and returned the monitor to Amazon, The replacement monitor had the same poor speakers

The clarity was good but the speakers were not loud enough !

Having the speakers in the monitor is a space saver

I skipped one star as I thought the speakers were pretty poor.

The speakers are fine for basic sound

Even the cheapest computer speakers you can buy at wallieworld are a vast improvement

Honestly I don't hold the bad sounding speakers against tv/monitor manufacturers they don't have space for remotely decent speakers

And added bonus, the speaker works as well

tldr: excellent monitor, poor speaker quality.

Works good and I like the speaker in the monitor too.

The tinny speakers are only useful if you have NO other sound option, but nobody should really expect Bose quality from a $100 monitor.

The speakers are trash

The speakers are not great, but they are good enough.

great budget monitor for the price however speakers are terrible and should have been omitted or been an optional extra

Nice monitor for viewing but the integrated speakers are AWFUL.

VESA mount worked perfect, Sharp pictures, but the speaker is very weak.

, the internal speakers don't get very loud at all.

Absolutely atrocious speakers

The monitor has a beautiful screen but poor speakers.

The speakers are crap

Native resolution of 1920x1080 seems perfect with W10 (older monitor was running at 1680x1050).As others have said, the internal speakers on this monitor are total garbage -

Built-in speakers were one of the reasons I chose this monitor over similar models as I knew I was going to have a limited work space and external speakers would be tough

Now, the speakers are really bad

I bought 2nd one a couple days later, since I liked the first.oh but btw, the internal speakers, they're bad.

The speakers are not that good, but I am okay with it for occasional audio.

Picture is wonderful quality.. speakers are awful.

The monitor I replaced had awesome speakers and I was spoiled.

The built in speakers sound bad, but everything else is great

Inwas hoping the built in speaker would prevent me from buying speakers as well.

The speakers are very tinny and low output - essentially unusable.

Great monitor, terrible speakers.

The speaker is absolute garbage though.

and I would greatly recommend separate speakers.

The speakers aren’t that bad either for being built in and adjustable heights really help for those Like me with neck and back issues.

The speakers work ok for your typical youtube vids but are probably lacking if you need big bold sound

beautiful display, built with quality material, seems very stable, speakers not the best but can't expect everything to be perfect for the price

Very great monitor, speakers aren't too bad honestly

I read reviews about the lousy speakers in the monitor, but I had no use for them as I have a surround system connected.

It sounds like cheap toy speakers

The sound is very limited but I got speakers so problem solved

Did not like the speaker quality that it has, its too soft and lacs clarity.

The speaker is not good as expected, it's just a speaker.

But at this price point, the screen quality is definitely worth spending a few extra bucks for decent speakers.

Why on Earth would I want my audio going to the lousy speakers from this monitor

The speakers are very anemic

screen is good IPS, speaker really sucks

Unfortunately, the speakers are terrible

Yes, as many people commented the speakers are weak

It's an excellent quality monitor easy to install with beautiful video (if you don't have HDMI or VGA, you'll need to buy a converter, though, so be forewarned), but why they bothered putting the useless audio speakers in it is beyond me

The speakers are worthless.

I will say the speaker is terrible but I knew that buying this

My advice is to forget about the built in speakers and buy some inexpensive computer speakers

The speakers are very poor.

Great monitor even if speakers are not very good

Very weak speakers, my

The speakers are, admittedly, not the best, but who buys a monitor for the speakers

These speakers are very poor

The speakers are horrible

Like other reviewers said, the builtin speakers are not very loud, but I don't really care

The only shortcoming of this monitor are its speakers, which I am not concerned with in the slightest since that is what external speakers are for

I wish the speaker is louder and more clear, the quality of the speaker on the monitor itself is defnitely low quality

Like other reviews say, the speakers aren't great, but that's not a big deal to me at all

but I for office use where I don't play audo that offen they are not going to bother me and no speakers on the desk help keep it clean.

I connected it without a problem, but the internal speakers are pretty bad

Had this for six months when the integrated speakers stopped working

Very poor speakers - sounds tinny with an echo.

good speakers ; the rotation of the display screen works fine ( as desired to vertical and horizontal position)

good speakers ; the rotation of the display screen works fine ( as desired to vertical and horizontal position)

The only issue is the speakers, but I don't use them, since I have my own 5 speaker surround sound system

The only annoying thing is that the speaker is so quiet, it might as well not even have a speaker

We bought at the same time a Dell S2418HX which is also 24" but has 99% sRGB with more vivid color, deeper depth, on screen control (to adjust the colors etc.) and much better speakers for about $40.00 more

I used to use a TV for monitor so of course it's sound was better, and now that it's died after ten years, I'm grateful for any sound until I pick out some decent computer speakers

Great monitor, terrible speakers.

That said, they just aren't good speakers, and even my laptop's speakers sound much better

The reason I am rating only 3 stars is because I do not like the speakers.

The speakers on it aren’t the greatest for

The speakers in the monitor are not fantastic, but I really don't use them... the HDMI in uses the internal speakers, but a phono jack can bu used to put the audio to good speakers.

speakers are really bad

I didn't really try the speakers out too much and actually disabled it on the monitor because I couldn't figure out how to use earbuds with the monitor

The speakers aren't great but given how affordable the price is, something small to overlook.

I bought 2nd one a couple days later, since I liked the first.oh but btw, the internal speakers, they're bad.

Although I would note that it is not as nice as the Dell P-series or U-series monitors in terms of the height adjustable stands, but those monitors costs at least $60 more

The speed of the animals didn't seem to blur as with youtube (note: I didn't watch the exact same video so this is highly anecdotal.

working exactly as I’d hoped

The monitor was easy to set up and I’m sure it will work as I expect it to work.
