The display is complemented by a six-speaker audio system that's comprised of two tweeters and four subwoofers that deliver incredible, booming sound. Powered by THX spatial audio, you can experience virtual 7.1 channel surround sound, giving games lifelike immersion and positional accuracy. Connect a pair of headphones to the 3.5mm audio jack for listening privacy. The spatial sound can also enhance stereo audio such as music.
