Hi. I bought this monitor last month, and I could not be happier with it! It is and LED monitor, with 2ms response time. It has some nice factory presets too. Like "gamemode", which lightens shadows a bit, for better vision. Comes with built in speakers, but I have never used those, so I can't comment on the quality. It is full 1080p. 1920x1080 @ 60 hz
It has a headphone jack too. I highly recommend this one. Plus, if you get from an online retailer, you will save some $. It is only a 24 inch monitor tho. It may be too small if you want a 26. It is pretty big once you get it out and running on your desk.
