Quick Take: Eizo LCD Offers Listenable Speakers
The MultiEdge L778 displays nice color and contrast, and sports fairly good built-in speakers.
Eizo's $850 19-inch MultiEdge L778 LCD combines gorgeous color, great contrast, and smooth 12ms response with the best built-in speakers you're likely to find on a monitor.
Most integrated speakers are weak, but these are loud and bass-enhanced, and they actually sound pretty good. And while the L778 is far from inexpensive, it costs only $50 more than Eizo's comparable speakerless unit.
Eizo calls the L778 a gaming LCD, but most gamers will probably turn up their noses at this corporate-looking display and its integrated speakers. The space-saving design makes more sense for someone with a little extra cash who needs great sound and graphics in an exceptionally snug space, like a metropolitan live-work loft.
