First, this monitor doesn't have speakers - and it never claims to have one either - but it does have an audio output that you can connect headphones or speakers to. This is an AMAZING gaming monitor! I switched from a 24 inch ASUS 75Hz 2ms monitor that was 10 years old to this 144Hz 3ms monitor and the difference is amazing! 144Hz makes gaming smooth and crazy! Don't worry about the response time, there are no ghosting or tearing issues here. !Great monitor and oh the CURVE is great for gaming but windows takes a day or two to get used to but after that you don't notice anymore eyes see things better sides! NO dead pixels on arrival! The stand is NOT flimsy or poorly designed, it's just perfect! This monitor tilts and tilts quite a bit. The blue light filter is good at night and helps your eyes especially on white backgrounds like web surfing. The joystick on the back of the monitor takes some getting used to, so that everything is in order later. DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI inputs. Comes with a DisplayPort cable!
