BringerOfTea - I don't understand why you'd run analog into the monitor , & analog out rather than running straight from pc to your audio device - just asking for cross interference as you're ampifying the audio twice.
Digital pcm via HDMI/dp & monitor conversion to analog out is a different story , used a lot of screens , aoc/lg/Asus/benq - they've all done a fairly bang up job really, hardly audiophile quality but absolutely fine for gaming , movie & general music use.
Bonus us when you have multiple inputs & devices connected youget auto audio switching along with switching the input.
Running a sat box, Xbox one, & PC on mine & it just makes things neat & easy .
I wouldn't buy a monitor without digital to analog pass through , would be a priority for me personally.
