Monitor with speakers or TV?

Sport Driver

Hello everyone. I have some 8 year old Samsung 27" monitor with TV tuner even I think (not sure, never used it). It is FHD and TN panel. Now this monitor is used as computer monitor and as TV. It is mounted on a wall. I was looking at getting something bigger and newer but I want one thing and that is included speakers. I don't like having additional stuff on my table since it is not as clean looking. I was looking at 32" or 34" ultrawide monitors with refresh rate of 120Hz or more and noticed ones with speakers are few and far between. Does anyone know any good gaming monitors with integrated speakers? Or should I just let this go and buy something without speakers and use headphones? Another possible chance was also 40", 43" TV. But they are all 60Hz right? Which is same as current monitor basically. Although higher resolution since most are 4K. And no OLEDs at that size as far as I know. 

 

No firm budget, let's say about 600€ in Germany (not German but can order from some stores).

Just use headphones. The sound from monitor speakers is complete trash, and you're missing out on a huge part of what makes a game good; audio design. TVs don't have decent sound from the integrated speakers either. If you're wall mounting it, I'd suggest just mounting a soundbar underneath it. TVs do come in 120hz.
