Right now I’m using an LG CX as my monitor and it happens to come with nice speakers (in that a TV will have the best speakers on the desk given no other options)… I’ve never had monitor speakers, so I was wondering – in this scenario, is it worth it to get a PreSonus Eris?
Active Studio monitors are a huge step up indeed. However an even bigger uphrade would be a power amp with bookshelf speakers of your choice. There are some really cool desktop poweramps like the project amp box…
The name “monitor” in this case means Studio Monitor for recording and mixing music. Nothing to do with a TV or computer monitor.
You should be looking at a more friendly home audio option like something from Edifier, Fluance, Vanatoo, HiVi-Swans, etc. Something with an optical input since that is likely the best quality and simplest non-HDMI audio output option on your TV
