22" with integrated speakers?

Hi all,

Looking for an upgrade for family member work PC - ideally around 22" (although flexible) and was wondering if there were any which came with some kind of built in speakers as they listen to spotify quite a bit?

Any pointers welcome as otherwise will need to look into some cheap peripheral speakers which will clutter up desktop

Budget circa. £100->£150 (exc. VAT)

Thanks!

I would strongly suggest going for non built-in speakers, especially if they will be listening to music as the sound quality of built-in monitor speakers is almost universally terrible.

Going for a cheap set of speakers like this may add a small bit of extra clutter to the desk, but the sound quality will be so much better. Plus, it doesn't restrict your choice of monitors - as there are not many PC monitors that have them built in.

Thanks for the response - sort of what I was afraid of

The speaker set you linked to looks interesting (and at £20 who's complaining?!)

friends and forum members don't let friends and other forum members use built in monitor speakers

Agreed, just interested if there were any half-decent options TBH. They don't have music ripped to FLAC and only use Spotify so not exctly looking for a 5.1 equivalent - just something that doesn't sound like a fly in a tin
