Question: Can someone verify that there is no sound or speakers in this monitor?
Document: Present are HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and several USB ports. There is also an audio out, useful for not only headphones or speakers,  but also a sound bar, which can be plugged solely into the USB port and audio out so that no extra wires will clutter your desktop. Helpful for non-audiophile minimalists like myself.Another serious plus of this monitor (which many MANY reviews tend to gloss over) is it's interpolation quality - in other words: handling of non-native content.
The picture is impressive, sound is more than adequate, and the viewing angles are pretty impressive for an LCD set. The stand is very sturdy.
So I've decided not to use this feature.Input connections consist of DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI (no VGA), and DVI and DisplayPort cables are included. The monitor has four powered USB connections and you also get the upstream USB cable for connecting to your computer. The USB is 2.0 and the connections are powered even when the monitor is turned off. There are no speakers, but there are two types of audit output connections.Regarding bright/dead pixels:  There weren't any.
The monitor is about two and a half pages wide, and more than a page tall.It's super bright.
I bought this monitor because it was one of the very few that had an HDMI connection in this price range. Great picture quality.
This is my first IPS monitor, and has a far superior display to my TN monitor. It may cost a little more, but it's worth it!
I have no complaints of this monitor. It is big and has great resolution and I love the USB ports on the side of the monitor - they are always in use!
Great Monitor.. go for the 24in instead of the 23in. The 16:10 aspect ratio is much better than the 16:9.
It struck me as odd that this monitor was being sold for $150 less than some of the other sellers and I guess I know why: I got a defective monitor.
Doesn't make 90 degrees between my table and monitor screen - put a book under the standNot excellent to read white text on black background.Headphones not working
