Had this for 3 mos. Not really satisfied with the sound quality. Anyone know of any attachable speakers or soundbar? (esp low $)

I have a set of JBL speakers that I've used for the last 4 years with my old monitor. I automatically plugged these in with my new ViewSonic and they are still perfect. Honestly, it would never occur to me to use the speakers on the monitor alone.

I kept my old speakers from my last unit. really now.you only get what you pay for. I really enjoy this monitor.

I am no audiophile, but I am perfectly happy with the speakers I bought at Walmart. they are Logitech Powered Computer Speakers Walmart # 000566912. They are online at Walmart.com for $6.60 with free ship to store. Walmart ships to store very quickly. They may also have them in stock in your local Walmart. If so, the price in store may differ from the online price.

The audio is better than the last flat screen I owned and no longer need external speakers, I do not hear well. Hope this helped.

It's ok....nothing.spectacular. I probably wouldn't buy it again honestly. My.tv speakers are almost just as loud. We made a lateral move buying this sound bar

Yeah just hook up the aux cable...the chair speakers and stuff work and it looks good its just a week after I bought it the wood it was made with inside broke so it sit different.it didn't sit straight up anymore. I was really bumbed out for spending over 100$ on a product and it breaks also it distorts alot through the speakers didn't like that either. But hope this helps.

Not bad for the price, but there are much better options available. These will most likely be comparable to the current sound output. I would strongly recommend something with larger speakers and more power as well. A subwoofer is also nice to have. I would highly recommend an inexpensive or used hi-fi system over computer speakers for a TV. Even something like this would be better: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HWRZ2K

Hello, I seem to remember seeing something somewhere about a sub woofer that is compatible with this speaker system, but I didn't have a need so I don't have any idea how well the sub woofer works. I have had the USB powered speaker bar for about 6 months and I love it. It does not deliver a huge sound, but it has plenty for my needs. It has enough volume for me and the sound is fine. I use mine on a MAC computer. It was a very easy setup, and Im certain it would would work just as well with your PC. This is not a sound system that is made to fill a huge room with a full and lush sound. It is instead, a practical inexpensive speaker system that works great for sound and music while your setting in front of your computer or TV. I hope this helped a little. My advice is ... get one, you will like it. Good luck. Craig

We have this tv. The tv sound is not that great, we have our sound coming through our stereo dolby 7.1 , it sounds great! I guess buying a soundbar is another option.

Its not that good of a deal and slowly it sucks and speaker in mine doesn't work. I would suggest you to get something different

Hey thanks for the response. I have not heard the "farting" sound for a while so I guess it went away some how. The sound bar works for my purposes (I live in a small apartment). This is pretty much my first "home theater" sound set up so I do not have much of reference to compare it to but I like it, gets pretty loud.

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!

Is a shame because Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver for $357 is a very good deal. I was looking for something smaller because of lack of space but I'll consider this thanks a lot for your help

It took some work initially, which it shouldn't for a speaker at this price point. This and the poor sound quality lead me to send it back. Get the Bose Mini or JBL Charge. It won't look as cool but it'll sound better and you'll save a couple bucks.

Mine has very good sound. It does require external speakers. Maybe have the sound muted, or otherwise disabled in your settings.

Built in speakers are pretty bad, but there's a 3.5 mm jack so you can get some decent computer speakers to use for 10 or 15 bucks. Picture quality is unmatched for the price, so I think it's worth it.
