Review on Enhanced Philips 279P1 Power Saving PowerSensor Computer Monitor: 3840X2160P, Accurate Colors, 10-Bit Panel - Ultimate HD Experience! by Ron Robinson

In the original review (below), I noted that the monitor lacks the advertised internal speakers. A call to Philips confirmed that it was indeed an error in Revain's ad. I've had the monitor for a week now and for no apparent reason the monitor's internal speakers started working. So they exist, Revain's information is correct, and the manufacturer's support agent was wrong. Now if only I could understand why they didn't work at all and why they started working. Hm. Great monitor, highly recommended! This is a great monitor and delivers everything as advertised except for one thing; There are no internal speakers, which was just confirmed by a call to Philips. And at least so far I haven't been able to get the audio output to work with my external speakers. So right now, "a USB-C cable" isn't good for beginners, as I have to connect the speakers directly to my MacBook Air, which entails a separate USB-C hub to house the old USB port on my speakers can. Disappointing, but not the end of the world. Other than that, the monitor has a great picture, lots of features, the USB hub and 'fast charge' ports work great, and setting it up for use with my new MacBook Air M1 was a breeze. a piece of the cake. It's also the only one I've seen in this price range that has a kickstand that tilts, swivels and lets you raise or lower the screen. It's a replacement for my 27" iMac and I like it better both ergonomically and user-friendly.
