ABSTRACT:
A flat panel monitor frame (10) with integrated speakers (26) as well as planar speakers (50a,50b,50c) for facilitating a consumer's selection of an aesthetic visual effect and for enhancing an acoustic experience for a flat panel monitor (22), having user-detachable and replaceable trim (36) for facilitating blending of the frame (10) and flat panel monitor (22) into the room decor, and having an array of speakers (26) within at least one frame side (12, 14, 16, 18), reducing the need for additional floor or wall-mounted speakers.
