A LED monitor with integrated speakers is not really difficult to find in the market. Various monitor manufacturer has equipped the latest monitor products with internal speaker, either mono or stereo. However, not all monitors have good quality speakers.
HP, one of the world leading computer vendors, tries to respond the need of user who is looking for a monitor with high quality integrated speakers in a slightly different way. They integrate speakers made by Beats Electronics to their new large monitor, HP Envy 24.
Obviously, one of the most noticeable part of this monitor is the speakers it uses, which is located at the bottom of the screen. The speakers itself have large size, with height about 4 cm.
HP Envy 24 features thin bezel design (5 mm), which is ideal to support multi-screen configuration. In addition, the surface of this monitor is dominated with black-gray-white color and has been equipped with edge-to-edge glass screen that makes it look more attractive.
