Since the monitor is 16:10 and widescreen consoles are 16:9, there will be a little bit of distortion, but very minimal.

Nope, the monitor you're looking at does not have audio inputs or speakers of any kind.

So, you'd either need to plug your speakers into whatever you're using at the time, get an audio switch, or some sort of speaker system that will allow you to plug in all your sources into one.Â
