How much are you willing to pay? (I hope you know that this isn't cheap...)

200/350
I cannot find something good with built-in speakers. And in all honesty, I think that most semi-premium monitors don't come with built-in speakers (I'm thinking it might be because someone who spends a premium on a monitor will usually have a good separate speaker system, at least better than what they can offer for this price.)

Without speakers, I see two that are two worth taking a look on. For $340 from Newegg this, and this Monoprice monitor for $239 "today" (if checj=king out with MasterPay and using coupon from here.)

Another option that may be interesting is this 32" refurbished for $310 http://computers.woot.com/offers/hp-32-qhd-wide-viewing-angle-monitor

What's wrong with this one?

Nothing is wrong with them, but is is not "Widescreen" and not "the best resolution that's out there" and no "build in speaker". So basically they do not tick even one of the things "Club2000" was looking for.

Really no built in speaker?
Are not a fan of Dell products?

I'm not sure what you meant to ask.

I see now that there are in fact some Dell S27 models with WQHD resolution, but you haven't mentioned any specific model and that modal is much much more money.

Something specifically for dual screens, or just two monitors?

Which size and price range are you looking for?

You don't need a set. Just buy two
