Q: Recommendation for external monitor with good audio?

I've got a MacBook Pro, about three years old or so. I also have a new iMac.

I'm happy with the audio on the iMac. Good enough that I don't need external speakers to listen to iTunes.

I have a weekend place and when I go, I only take my MacBook Pro with me ... and I miss the 21" screen and the better audio from my iMac.

Can anyone recommend a monitor for MacBook Pro that is just as good as the iMac, especially with regards to the sound?

Ideally under $300.

Any with built-in HDMI should work and 1080p. ViewSonic, NEC, Sony, LG, and Samsung. Viewsonic and NEC may also have color correction capabilities. Make sure your Mac is one of the ones with built-in audio over mini-Displayport or has Thunderbolt or HDMI to connect:

If it does not have audio, and is a mini-Displayport only, see this tip for alternatives:
