You might be able to find it on eBay instead of keep shopping for a new one.

An alternative idea might be to find a DELL 2407 or 2410. Both are OK in my experience.

Dell U2415 is not perfekt, but more than ok for daily work.

KM On several BenQ monitors I have it displays the "no signal" message with a blue background only on the HDMI input.

Might have also done the same with an old ASUS of mine.

    The Dell U2410 has been my savior for a long time now. I use it at both work and home.

    If work has some sort of used equipment sale in the future, I might buy a hoard of them and stash them somewhere!

      MagnuM yep, i had the U2414- worked pretty well at 75hz. dont drop em. it does seem possible to round up dells en masse as offices upgrade. the salvation army computer store in dallas gets them in..

        KM just got my EW2740L.. it has the blue screen.. what are your settings? AMA off? Lowest blue?
        i think you have an nvidia? can you overclock it?

            I have an old NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295. It's not meant for gaming, no overclock. Keep in mind Windows 10 later than 1511 has (or may have for some of us) its own cause of eye strain.

                reaganry a bit of an odd thing the blue (and purple) screens on the 'low blue light' benq . fairly annoying actually.. I wonder how yours got rid of it

                    reaganry You can deactivate the purple "BenQ Logo" screen in the service menu. It comes up when you turn on the monitor by holding down both the third button from the right and the power button until the screen turns on. Then release the buttons and press any of them (excluding power) to open the service menu. It's not dangerous unlike on other monitors.

                        reaganry hilarious. but been there. such a horrible feeling. trying to adjust and destroy these fragile objects we've come to know as hazardous tools. next time just throw it. be more fun and hopefully not yours. just kidding. hope all worked out okay

                              KM the monitor has been great... until i had to reinstall windows. now it's headache time again.. wishing i had waited until i could find that LTSB 2015..

                                Hi, good thread ...

                                I am just also looking for new monitor for my sensitive eyes. Basically, what I found, I have two options:
                                1. buy old Dell (unfortunatelly U2407 is not available)
                                2. buy new Benq (and also EW24 series is not available)

                                Which monitor would you recommend for long work with computer (excel, emails, programming, google ...)

                                Dell U2410 - 2nd hand 164 EUR
                                Dell U2413 - 2nd hand 168 EUR
                                BenQ GW2470HE - new 113 EUR
                                BenQ XL2411 - new 250 EUR

                                ... or maybe some other? Thanx in advance for your recommendations.

                                  raven82 I swear by the Dell U2410. I haven't tried the others in your list, but no other monitors seem to be acceptable (unless they are older-style CCFL-backlits)

                                    2410 is good in my experience. Very similar to the 2407.
