22-24 Monitor with decent audio and plenty of ports?

[Sw33per]

In the market for a new monitor that im gonna run things off

I Actually prefer Decent TN Panels than IPS and i dont need a spare IPS anyway

Needs to have either decent audio or Optical (if exists) Also would like 3 HDMI and a legacy port like VGA or DVI

Price? Resolution? and you want speakers in it???

As long as its under £500 thats good, 1080p and yes decent speakers inside or if any monitors have optical that is preferred

Why so keen on optical out? It's less complicated to plug it into the rear of the PC.
Most monitors these days at most will have a 3.5mm out, if that. In addition very few have speakers at all, and if they did have speakers, it would remove the need for optical out.

Well i can use optical with a lot of old stuff like minidisc recorders for example and that gives you auto track separation and a better quality recording if i were to use it directly into the monitor

But also i know i can connect various soundbars via optical and certain ones tend to only have a single optical input.

Also i want to keep space to an absolute minimum for this desk, So i dont really have a lot of choice for speakers that sound good and that are super small, My best bet in that area is actually a small soundbar.

Couldn't find any with 3 HDMIs or any with Optical Out. But I did find a few monitors that had 2 HDMI, these were the best of the ones I found. Hopefully they are available to you in the UK as I'm from the US. Shouldn't be a problem finding them though.

For the specs you want however, you may want to take a look at TVs. You are far more likely to find 3 HDMI's and Optical out.
