Purchased a system from Oc on may 21st this year and the dell u2515h was part of my bundle. Up to now everything has been fine, until last night when my screen started to randomly go black.
First thought was **** whats wrong, graphic card,monitor, what. i swapped cables and at first nothing seemed to fix the issue, i do not have a 2nd monitor or another graphic card to try so i was limited in what i could try, thought drivers but nothing was different from the previous evening when it was last switched on and played flawlessly (graphic card is nvidia gtx 970).
Anyway after maybe 90 minutes the flickering stopped and the monitor was fine, has anyone else on here experienced the problem? it would appear that after googling the problem i am not the only 1 to have suffered this and am thinking should i return it or what.

i have posted a link to a video i managed to do on my mobile phone, ignore the bright white light when the screen comes back on that was part of my amateur videoing.

Hi I have brought 2 of these monitors and the same thing as now happened to me on one the other is fine. I've brought both from overclockers so will be looking to return the faulty unit.

Would need to check, monitor now sent back for overclockers for rma, should have a new one by the end of the week. If it had happened once i would have ignored also

It's a known fault and its happened day dot i received the monitor. I have now received the new one from OC so far so good altho it has a slightly yellow tinge to the screen compared to my other u2515. having a look around to calibrate
