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

                              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.

                                  I might try the Dell U2410 too if I can get one. It has FRC but it's 8+FRC bits.

                                  My work computer monitor is a Dell P2414H driven by an Nvidia Geforce GT220. I think it's a VA panel with 6+2 bit FRC. It's okay, but not great. I get between 2 and 4 hours out of it before the headaches and dizziness get too much. Work has fluorescent light tubes too, which doesn't help.

                                    U2410 is a 2009? monitor IIRC

                                    What I find is 2009 monitors and before are almost always fine. The problem of course is finding a monitor that old that hasn't been abused for the last ten years.

                                    The only thing I'd say definitely avoid is the monitors that only use two CCFL bulbs. The bulbs are generally brighter to make up for the missing two and die earlier. I also find they tend to be more likely to cause eye strain (and have aggressive PWM)

                                    U2410 owners would you drop 200 on a new one?

                                      Dell 2407 monitors are also definitely worth checking out. They're perhaps better than the 2410 in terms of output comfort (I have both).

                                        I have a Dell 2001fp coming in the mail. There is YouTube video showing its flicker free and CCFL will see if it works. I thought I was doing good with a couple LED monitors I had but I just a good tolerance for a week them my eyes went to crap. It was the strangest thing I had used them for probably 25 hours in one week no pain, no orange glasses then the next day 5 minutes instant pain then I couldn't use them again.
