First I should thank you for answering me and so fast.
Sadly, I will only use it as single monitor. I am actually fond of classic bezels the Apple Cinema 27 inch actually has a 3cm ones of caramel frame. They look gorgeous.
But for the other options: BenQ BL2420PT (http://orwww2.benq.com/product/monitor/BL2420PT/features) 30 euros more and a monitor that features all the older graphics ports the Dell has dumped: DVI, VGA, though I will not use them. I guess I will use DP for sure. It has 1W speakers though am not interested and USB 2.0 not 3.0.
Regarding speakers in monitor or in TV, they do not sound really good from what I have experienced.
It lacks the sweet mellow highs and bass that a dedicated 2.1 speaker system can offer.
I would highly recommend to get a dedicated 2.1 speaker if you are listening music / watching movies / gaming.

There is also Acer G257HUsmidpx also 30 euros more and an horrible stand in my eyes. Also still not sold on the Acer quality.
I noticed that Dell speaker stand is amazingly good but it only comes in certain models such as the U series (U2515H ultra series).
Those stand allows you to perform 90 degrees rotation on both left/right (older models can only do from left).
And it's also height adjustable which is a plus for me! Previously I had to stacked multiple phone books to get to a specific height for my monitor.
Another alternative is to get a flexible stand (monitor arm) which allows you to position the monitor above your table (floating).
But it requires that the monitor supports vesa mount 100mm x 100mm.

I guess the Dell is still the better option. Where I am still not decided is on the black colours. Can you please confirm if they are decent and not washed? Thank you
The Dell U2515H IPS black is a little washed out (can be easily viewed when watching movies or dark scenes in it), but it's a small matter to me.
Truly black colors can be seen from TN Panels but those generate lots of heat especially in smaller rooms.
Also IPS monitor colors remains vivid when viewing in any angle horizontally. It does gray out when viewing at different heights (vertically).
So if I watch a movie with my family on my IPS panel, they don't complain about unable to view the color of the screen being washed out at different angle with same height.
