Does this monitor have speakers?
Catherine B
on Dec 29, 2021
BEST ANSWER: No, this monitor does not have speakers integrated. It does have a couple hdmis and a earphone jack. Cool way around this I have found to watch from Firetv is to like another echo to the firetv wirelessly. Easy enough to do and serves my use case

BEST ANSWER: I've been pretty happy with mine. I use it with a Sapphire 6900xt gpu in my gaming pc. All my games look super clean and very happy with it compared to 144 Hz monitor. For the price of 299, it's hard to get a 240 Hz monitor.

BEST ANSWER: Probably. It has what look like VESA mounting holes on the back about 80mm apart in a square. They are inset a bit from the housing so the mounting bracket will need to be small.

240hz would be TN territory
AHVA is an AUO panel technology. This is an AUO panel then?
I don't see a 240hz AUO AHVA panel made. Is this a new unreleased panel?
Is that why this keeps getting delayed?

Works Great. Lacks some Features
This monitor is plenty bright, fast, the colors look great, and the the HDR nearly maxes out the contrast settings using the Windows HDR Calibration program. I don't have a mega powerful graphics card, so 1080p is plenty for me.
I was mildly disappointed to see that is has one HDMI input and two DisplyPort inputs, despite what the description and pictures show.
There are some interesting features that are missing. The stand is only adjustable for tilt, no height or pan adjustment. The brightness is not adjustable when using HDR. Lastly, the users manual does not describe what the features in the OSD are, just how to access them. There is a "USB Upgrade" and an "Overdrive" feature that I'm not entirely sure what they do.

Great monitor
I don't use it for gaming, primary use is for Amateur radio. Brightness is superb as are the colors. Text is exceptionally crisp. I couldn't be more pleased. BTW the shipping was fast and efficient. You just cant beat Monoprice!

I bought this for my husband, because he is an avid gamer, and he loves it! I love it! The picture quality is so crisp and the screen size is just right! I'm so glad that I got this for him.

Good pleasant
Honestly I bought this for my 22 year old daughter. She is a pc gamer. She was play on 55 inch tv but complained of major lag time. Not any more. At 240hz this monitor rolls hard. Looks great with plenty of depth. She is really happy now.

Solid and good looking
Things I love about these monitors:
1) No super bright obnoxious branding. I don?t like visual disruptions and these don?t have any.
2) VESA mount area is flat, no need to mess around with extra washers/spacers
3) OSD button is easy to reach and intuitive to adjust. I adjust my monitor brightness very frequently, so this is important.
Haven?t found any downsides yet.

240hz, 1ms repsonse for this price?!
This monitor is AMAZING. Great color and definitely a monitor for gaming. 240hz is more than enough most games. I play Apex Legends and Valorant and it's GREAT for those two.
Something to note is that it doesn't come at 1ms response time out of the box, you gotta go to the settings and overdrive it manually.
