    What do you mean support speakers?
    Those logitechs are standalone speakers. Some monitors support soundbars etc as a passthrough but not 5.1 systems.

    Like im assuming those speakers have a headphone jack (or i could just get a splitter to plug it into the pc/monitor) What i want to do is find a way of plugging the speakers into the monitor

    Why would you want to plug speakers into a monitor?

    For better sound Quality, because built in speakears arent usually great

    You're misunderstanding how speakers work. If you were to buy those speakers you would plug them into the PC, not the monitor. The PC generates the sound, not the monitor.

    Anyway, here's some monitors from Dabs.ie that are under €150 and under 2ms response time.

    you're mistaking monitors with LCD tv's.
    Completely different products and LCD TVs aren't really suitable for PC gaming...

    You're mistaken about how it works. As I said the monitor doesn't generate sound. If you were to plug speakers into a monitor you'd hear nothing.

    The reason monitors have an audio port is for plugging it into the pc. Then the sound from the pc comes out of the monitor speakers.
