Whoa, wait a friggin minute....

A monitor with "REAL" speakers.....how dare they

But it's googly time now, to find out the specs for them, to see if they are indeed "REAL", as in more than the typical 2-5w tin can-sounding parts that most monitors have !

I hope they are significant, as my IT guys are putting together their purchase orders right for new monitors for all our office staff (~186 people), and these would really go well with the "lets lighten up the office" mantra that the execs started pushing on Jan 1....which included solar panels, downstream skylights, and mood-sensing lighting fixtures everywhere...

This isn't BenQ's first attempt at that. I've had the EX2710Q for a couple years which has similar "real" speakers (2W x2 + 5W woofer) but cleaner looking than this new one it's like a built-in soundbar. They were shockingly good when I first heard them and being front firing certainly helps. Has different sound profiles and even some base. So I got rid of my desktop sound monitors and just use these now when not using headphones so much cleaner. I figure when I upgrade to an OLED monitor I'll look for something with these again.

Sounds good to me!

The spec sheet is right there in the article. They are, indeed, 2-5W speakers. The most expensive model also has a 5W woofer which… I have no idea if that would even make a difference.

If the display is up close, then no, not really. If further away, then yes the lower wattage will matter.

I meant that I was skeptical that adding a very weak sub-woofer would make much difference to the sound quality compare to the basic dual speaker setup on the cheaper models.

Oh, I see. And to that I would say yes, again up close. I have a Dell Vostro 3750(yes I know, it's old, but it's runs fine) laptop with a builtin subwoffer and I've done the connected/disconnected comparisons and it makes a difference to sound quality and sound range but only within about 1.5m to 2M range. Outside that, not so much.

Yea, I saw that chart, but I was referring to the technical audio specs, like the frequency ranges, approximate sound level capabilities etc....
