Considering Dell u2414h as well. Is no flicker effect on eye-strain real? Is it noticeably easier to stare at this screen for long periods?

Yes, I returned Dell S2415H because the text is not black, gray, gives me a headache because I use it reading news, stock quote. I use the multimedia screen on this monitor and doesn't give me a headache. Compared with my Qnix2710 which is 1440p, I prefer this benq for reading and multimedia use. I returned hp 25xi because of flicker, gives me a headache too.

Thank you all for your comments and tips. Ive just exchanged the monitor for another unit and the replacement unit does not have the same first start/powering on flickering. Btw, i tested the original unit on a ps4, 2 diferent desktops, and a laptop each with their own cable but the result were the same. In the manual it stated that flickering is "normal" due to the nature of the LED backlit, and call support only when the monitor no longer power on due to the flickering. (...?)

I love my monitor the screen is bright enough yet pleasant to the eyes. You do not feel any eye strain. This is possibley due to the LED lites

Hi Jon, I can only address the unit which I have purchased which is revision A06. I have been satisfied with the performance of this monitor. I use it as a secondary monitor for a CAD setup with a very fast and powerful Dell Precision Workstation laptop unit. I think you will be best served by the latest revision which may be even higher than A06. I purchased the unit just under a year ago through Amazon. It is always wise to see the model up close to be able to touch it and get a feel for the display quality, but typically the big box stores will never be able to beat the price of a web distributor such as Amazon. Good luck with your purchase.

They seem consistent to me. I use it for CAD work and my second monitor is used mostly for menus. I did quick check by dragging a picture from one monitor to the other and I couldn't see any difference. I down loaded the software from NVidia and am able to have different color setting for each monitor, but have not needed to do so.

Depends on the type of gaming. The 5-6ms response time isnt great for FPS or games with a lot of things moving on the screen very quickly, you will notice ghosting. I run 2 of them in a triple screen setup though, with the 2 GW2450's on the outside. I bought a much faster 2ms BenQ for the center monitor and I dont notice any ghosting anywhere. Partly because I dont focus on the side screens because they serve as peripheral viewing but Id say in general, yes. For best results? No.

Hey, I bought mine about 2 months ago and got a defective screen. (It showed white scrolling lines which sounds similar to one of the other posts) It performed great while it worked, but the HD screen going out is kind of a biggie. At least they have an awesome warranty (including both way shipping) The damn RMA repair service takes 14-16 business days plus time spent in shipping I'm looking at almost a month w/o the computer. If given the choice I would probably buy it again, because any computer risks issues like this but not all the companies have as nice return policies.

I couldn't say about the dell. I'm using it on a 42 inch 1080P TV as a monitor. I'm running Windows 7 with a settinng of 1920 x 1080. That is the highest setting allowed either by the device or windows that I see. Haven't had a problem yet

What I noticed most was the text quality. With the VGA connection, text on the 906BW had a smudged, almost shadowed look. On DVI the shadows were gone so the text looked clean and clear.

Yes, The LED24G45RQD also has the horrible viewing angle problem, so if you are 15% off directly viewing it, images will look like negative pictures and will be purple and black. If you are looking at it straight on, which is harder with a smaller screen it is fine.

Suggestion... Don't buy a dell, had mine for maybe a week, and it went tit's up on me. Could not use it any more. Another suggestion, go hp your better off!

I have a Dell Duo. Lag isn't that bad depending on what you are used to and what you do. Scrolling is smooth 90 percent of the time in excel and IE. Yes, it is a atom, but it is a dual core atom. But yeah, the best choice is the EP121. The EP121 has these advantages over the Dell Duo. 1.)SDXC/MMC card slot 2.)lighter by 1 pound 3.)Wacom pen input 4.)CPU benchmarks about twice as fast 5.)potentially double the ram 6.)faster graphics performance 7.)HDMI for video out 8.)SSD is much quicker. I tested the EP121 at windows boot to desktop and it was 20 seconds. 9.)Reliability: the SSD will not fail because of vibration or g-forces. Hard Drive Failure is likely the #1 reason why mobile computers that have them fail. 10.)bigger screen 11.)comes with a folio case for propping it up in 3 different angles/orientations 12.)MVA screen on EP121 has much better viewing angles than the Duo screen. The Dell Duo has bad vertical viewing angles and ok horizontal viewing angles in my experiance. The problem is that in portrait(in tablet mode), your vertical viewing angles are your horizontal viewing angles and so it is hard to share with someone else in portrait 13.)thinner: .66 inch vs 1 inch 14.)larger screen:12.1 inch vs 10.1 inch 15.)physical buttons accessible in tablet mode like Ctrl-Alt-Delete/window switcher, volume rocker, virtual keyboard activator, etc 16.)strengthened glass called Gorilla Glass cons 1.)maybe about 20% less battery life(Asus quotes 3 hours and Dell quotes 4 hours). In my experience though. The Dell Duo gets around 3 hours but I might be abusing the slow processor a bit with what I do with it. them fail. 2.)No physical attached keyboard in convertible form factor 3.)Hard Drive is 64GB/32GB vs. 360GB on Dell Duo 4.)Price

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

No loud buzzing. No migraines. No brightness problems. Works great. Try Gunnar glasses to help with with reducing glare for any monitor.

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.
