AOC i2473Pwm and the i2473Pwy IPS Monitors get ONKYO Speakers
AOC announces a new set of 23.8" (60.5 cm) IPS monitors with powerful ONKYO speakers for a spectacular entertainment experience. Both the i2473Pwm and the i2473Pwy boast a stylish Razor Concept design. Built in the stand of these Full HD monitors, two 7 watt speakers from ONKYO are perfect for a superior sound quality when playing games and watching movies. In addition to exceptional image quality, the models also feature the latest connectivity options with MHL and the wireless Miracast.
Exceptional images and world class brand sound
AOC equips the new 73 Series members with high-grade 23.8" (60.5 cm) IPS panels. Delivering Full HD resolution, 250 cd/m² luminosity and a pixel response time of 5 ms (GTG), the LED-backlit displays stun with extremely vivid colours and super-wide viewing angles of 178° both vertically and horizontally. To match the exceptional image quality with high-class sound, the monitors are equipped with a set of powerful 7 watt ONKYO high-quality loudspeakers. An external audio set-up is no longer needed.
Both monitors feature D-Sub as well as HDMI connectors. The i2473Pwm furthermore supports MHL connectivity. This Mobile High-Definition Link allows to directly connect compatible Android mobile devices and the monitor, mirroring the content on the large 60.5 cm IPS screen. Once connected, you can charge the mobile devices at the same time.
The i2473Pwy even allows mirroring content from mobile devices wirelessly owing to the Miracast technology. Users are now able to enjoy Full HD movies from their smartphones and tablet PCs, by displaying these on the large screen. Sharing videos and music with friends and family has never been easier.
Both models employ energy-efficient LED backlights and fulfil strict sustainability certificates such as TCO 6.0 or Energy Star 6.0. AOC grants a 3 year warranty on its monitors, including an on-site exchange service.
The new 73 Series models are available as of now. The MSRP lies at GBP 159 for the i2473Pwm; for the Miracast model i2473Pwy a price of GBP 189 is suggested.

Don't you end up leaving smudges on your screen where your nose is pressed up against it?

That's pretty harsh (though I did laugh at the mole rat thing tbf).
I've done the same thing though, my desk at home is pretty narrow... So to have a massive speaker under the monitor wouldn't be practical for me either!

All of my "why?!". Personally I use the base of my monitor to rest my keyboard at a more steep angle than the keyboard feet can provide.
