Anyone have any experience with the Dell G2410, LED backlit Display?

OP;

I am building a computer for a friend and need some help. She is older lady with a vision problem and no computer experience. There is damage to one eye, after looking at the monitor for a very short time she gets a painful headache, due to the “flickering” of the monitor.

One of the replies;

1. A lower response time has nothing to do with flickering, or refresh rate. LCDs do not flicker when the screen refreshes, only the fluorescent backlight itself will flicker. For an absolutely flicker-free LCD (theoretically...), look at an LED screen.

2. A lower backlight setting on any given monitor will flicker more than the same monitor at full brightness. This means you need to take care to find a monitor with a low brightness rating, 250-300 cd/m^2 at the most. HDTVs are usually brighter than monitors, but not always.

Other alternatives ??
 
Hopefully an LED monitor will be the solution but I'm not sure they are 100 precent flicker free and its a newer technology so alot of people are taking a wait and see approch.
 
As per….Live chat with Dell

I asked the question TWO times, Is this display Flicker Free.

Reply…..YES

I hope so !
 
Are you sure the lady's headaches are connected to the monitor backight flickering? I think also they do not flicker at the same frequency.
For example I get a headache and sore eyes very quickly from using a glossy monitor. Maybe also the monitor's brighness was too high.
The best way is to try some LCDs, especially common these days are notebooks with LED backlight.

Good question, I thought that the same thing last night.
· What kind of monitor were using, (CRTor LCD)
· How old was the monitor
· What kind of quality monitor was used

Although the question here…… is the Dell flicker free?

Thanks for the help
