I enjoy reading posts like this, which delve into personal setups and the intentions behind them. However, I found this a bit puzzling:
> While not an absolute requirement, integrated speakers would be a nice option on the monitor so I wouldn't have to buy separate ones and find a place for them on my desk.
For such a methodically constructed workspace, especially one that goes out of its way to avoid fan noise, I'd assume the OP would have wanted at least middling audio quality. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, yet I've never used a computer monitor's onboard speakers by choice. Almost any other solution would likely be superior to whatever microscopic "speakers" are crammed into that 21.5" monitor...
- Beltalowda 4y agoI appreciate a quiet setup, but I don't actually care all that much about the quality of the PC speakers; most of the time I use it just to watch a short video, or maybe a presentation or interview. As long as it doesn't sound absolutely horribly tinny it's "good enough". For more "serious listening" I use headphones.
- anemoiac 4y agoI sort of assumed headphones were the OP's actual primary audio source. Makes more sense. I end up using headphones half the time anyway because that allows for more convenient audio options when taking calls on multiple devices throughout the day.
- siddbudd 4y agoI know a lot of people for whom the sound of their iPad (Pro) or MacBook is good enough. Those are even thinner than most monitors.
