What are the actual dimensions of the monitor itself?

The screen is 19.5" wide by 12" high. The frame extends an additional .5" below the screen.

Does this model have built-in speakers? The Newegg description says it does, but Acer only lists a VW237Q bi model on their website (this is the model listed on that big e-commerce site), and it doesn't have speakers.

Hello Rick, According to the listing this item does have internal speakers, hope this helps! Newegg Support
