Yep it has built in speakers, but no one seriously buys a monitor to use the built in speakers. It's not exactly a deciding point in a decision to buy this (I hope). You could always hook it up to your onboard soundcard and use it as the sound device for incoming voice on teamspeak or Skype if you only wanted to use a Mic and no headset.

Monitor speakers are quite useful actually, as I had a machine that wasn't posting and my speakers were plugged into the X-Fi - but no error code was being given, but coming out of the onboard sound port on the mobo was the error code :) (but no speakers were connected to it!) so since then I've left the screen speakers connected to that ;)
 
IM NOT HAPPY WITH MINE.........:mad::mad::mad:

Its not wall mountable... Thanks for the duff info OCUK.... Looks like i will be returning mine.. And i will not be paying postage.

Hang on. If it has Vesa holes in the back, then a Vesa wall mount will fit it.
What makes you think it cant be wall-mounted, as I am thinking of wall mounting it, myself?

I don't think the carp stand will bother me as it will be bolting on here :)

I've noticed this and a couple of other comments about wall/desk mounting.

Plus side: It can be done :)

Minus side: It's not trivial and needs the case opening up :(

The carp stand isn't actually that bad. Just very basic. However the stand 'leg' is not removable from the monitor (and looks dreadful just hanging there). You have to:
* remove the (only) 2 screws at the bottom on the back
* prise off the lower front bezel; gently, using a strong, thin plastic tool so as not to scratch it. There are 2 long bits of plastic that go through the case on the left and right (actually what the screws screw into) and these are a tight fit and need gentle persuasion.
* remove the 2 screws revealed inside
* Unclip the frame mount at the bottom and sides (scary clicking noise!!!) Use the same tool to lever out the sides by 2mm and they'll click off.
* unclip the wiring harness for the front buttons/led
* use a philips screwdriver to remove the 6 screws holding the stand on
* slip the stand out of the case
* reverse the disassembly - it all snaps back nicely.

Hope this helps...

I did it carefully to try it out. It's now back on the stand until my wall mount arrives. I'll try and take piccies next time....

Edit: Updated pictures

And you can see 18 more one at a time with descriptions or all at once, without.

YAY.... What a joke.

Thanks for the info anyway? Are you just gonna use bolts inside as there is not thread?

And say bye bye warranty

Thanks for the instructions.
Pics would be great, once your wall mount arrives.
