Question 1

Does this have built-in speakers?

Accepted Answer

No it does not. There is a 3.5mm audio OUTPUT jack on the back of the monitor. You can use this to plug in headphones or external speakers if you are using the HDMI input and your PC is transmitting sound via HDMI along with the video signal.

Question 2

Does it have DVI connection?

Accepted Answer

No, only HDMI and VGA. However, (and you may already be aware of this) you can get HDMI to DVI cables for about the same price as standard HDMI cables.

Question 3

Is this glossy or matte screen?

Accepted Answer

This monitor has a matte screen.  I have two and have been quite happy with them.

Question 4

Can the stand be removed to be used with an adjustable arm stand?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has the 4 screw points for a VESA mount and the stand is removable.  (Actually comes with the stand separate)

Question 5

Is screen anti-glare or glossy?

Accepted Answer

The screen is anti-glare and not glossy at all.  I should have put that as a PRO in my review.

Question 6

From the questions ive seen....  does it come with a power connection cord?

Accepted Answer

Of course it does..... and a display port cord as well. I was a little weary buying this monitor because it's not really bigger than my old Samsung 226BW, however the extra real estate you pick up on the width makes it an amazing experience. Good for movies, games and in my case, graphic design. This allows me to have all of my panels open in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator.

Question 7

adjustable stand height?

Accepted Answer

No. It screws into the back and the stand is plastic. It can mount to a dual or triple monitor stand that adjusts

Question 8

How is it for gaming?

Accepted Answer

Well it depends; casual gaming it does the job (but what monitor doesn't) - If you are a gaming enthusiast and want the best like most enthusiasts I'd recommend a monitor for the gaming preference. Typically for most game genres I would say 4K is pretty sweet if your rig can manage; but if you are into a more competitive scene like first person shooters, a 144hz monitor trumps 4K.
If you don't have the rig for 4K or 144hz (or the $$$$) this monitor is a nice cost-efficient display.

Question 9

Does the monitor have built-in speakers?

Accepted Answer

no thee are no speakers; however sound is passed to the monitor via the hdmi connection. and there is a std mini phono jack for speakers to connect to

Question 10

Does it have a USB port?

Accepted Answer

NO, HDMI and AV
