Monitor speakers: worth it? (self.hifi)

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?

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
