Why do the new computer monitors not come with speakers like the old models?

Question

I haven't ever bought just a monitor, and I'm finally ready to get rid this old Hewlett Packard model that came with my modem/ tower from '97 that is long gone. Am I missing something about the new flat screen computer monitors that they don't readily come with audio or speakers? I listen to stuff on the Web all the time, so I can't understand why this doesn't seem important on the monitors. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong ones. Please catch me up to speed. Thank you.

Answer 1

You can find new flatscreens with speakers. The reason a lot of monitors don't come with speakers is that usually you get independent speakers, not attached to the monitor in any way. That way, if the monitor goes bad, you don't have to get new speakers, or if the speakers in the monitor go bad, or don't have to change speakers.

Computer Monitors With Speakers

Answer 3

Some still actually do come with speakers, check around on retail websites such as CompUSA. For the most part usually the reason is that with all the options that are out there in speakers it's prolly better for development costs of monitor manufacturers to stay out of that sector and leave it up to the speaker specialists to handle it.

Answer 4

Most Flat Screen Monitors have speakers built in.
Look behind or underneath for speaker cables or it may have a cable attached.

Answer 5

KDS usa makes Flat panel moniters with speakers,
they are small but okay they sell at Wal-mart.

I have this monitor and like it in a 17" model. Alot of manufactuers
focus on sleek, thin, light designs so they elimate speakers
especially with the new 5.1, 6.1 one surround speaker sound systems that make games,and movies on computer as nice as a
home theather system. course with these you need to often times upgrade soundcard.

Because the computers have built-in speakers. However, I know that some LCD monitors come with built-in speakers.
