In terms of volume, these are pretty really loud speakers given that they’re usb-powered and can fill the typical room at about 60 volume no problem and that’s not even at its pull power, nice. You’ll definitely have no issues here.

Surprisingly, there isn’t any distortion as far as I could hear. That said, it does start to make its weaknesses more obvious in terms of the level balance within the mids and lows, where the base can be overpowering the mids without a nuanced transition on certain songs. Sound Quality Sitting at about arm’s length from the soundbar itself, things are usually ok in terms of it feeling like stereo sound, thanks to each driver being at the far end length of the speaker itself. However, it starts to break down if one were to move towards the speaker a little, as the soundstage is not as wide as two separate satellite speakers would be, causing it to narrow it to something more mono-sounding; a heads up for interested parties to sit further away to get the best experience.The brightness can also be cranked all the way up to blinding if you wish. According to my eyes, it seems to spec a bit higher than the 350nits listed in the specifications. on Dell internal analysis using publicly available specs in August 2023 comparing maximum effective capacity for PowerStore 1200 and FlashArray //X20.

Warranty

Unfortunately, even at a technically less challenging QHD resolution, Dell has been unable to fit freesync into panels like this and with the unimpressive 60Hz refresh rate, there just isn’t much incentive for pure gamers to consider this one. Dell monitors with integrated speakers do not have the required slots or connections available to connect a soundbar. Overall, think of them as a pair of decent laptop speakers that does its job adequately without any fuss on your end. Don’t come in expecting audiophile quality sound and you’ll be surprised at what these speakers can deliver. Price
