Flat panel displays: Built in speakers or not?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

If one is in market for a LCD flat display..... is it a good idea to
get one that does NOT have built in speakers? Or is getting built in
speakers a desirable thing?

What would you do?

My gut feeling is to NOt get built in speakers and use external
speakers..... just to reduce murphys law a bit

Also....any advice on a good "value" in 17 LCD displays?

The cheapest set of speakers will sound better than almost any built-in
speakers. They're a handy feature, but don't pay extra for them.

Thanks Rocky.


Dumb question..... but can you even GET an LCD panel that does NOT
have speakers built in?

Have a look at the SoundBar, available with some of Dell's LCDs.

Sounds like a good idea..... i.e removable LCD speakers. Will chk it
out. Thanks!

Tell me.... is it available only for Dell LCD panels tho?

I may not be buying a Dell panel.

I haven't looked at LCD monitors since I bought one for myself, last year.
At that time, most LCDs did not have built-in speakers.

Considering how cheap it is to add speakers to the bezel, and how this might
be handy if you're on the move and don't want to upset your carefully laid
out surround speakers, I wouldn't worry about it. Built-ins don't affect the
image quality.

Ahh..... I see what you mean now. Go ahead and get built ins..... but
don't count on them for good sound huh?

I see your point...

But doesn't there exist some after market speaker bar system....some
kind of all in one device..... that is separate form the monitor but
yet reduces cable clutter?
