i have just ordered a basic (very cheap) dell computer package with a 15 inch flat panel but no speakers does anyone know if these monitors have speakers in them or do i need to buy some?

If it is the Dell E156FP (cheapest 15" flat panel monitor on UK site - http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productlisting.aspx?c=uk&category_id=209&cs=ukdhs1&image_flag=True&l=en&s=dhs&show_summary=False) then the speakers are optional

Generally the speakers inbuilt in monitors are very basic with only a couple of watts per channel, so they’re not something you’d want to listen to high quality CDs or DVDs on, but could prove handy if you just want to listen to streamed radio over the internet and don’t have any other speakers set up with your computer.

yes thats the model,so it will play basic sound but if i want to listen to music i am better off buying standalone speakers?
