Does anyone have Dell U2415 attached to any form of Mac? Have been seeing several reports, both recent and older, that indicate there is a problem with the monitor.

Have been looking to purchase but can't bring myself to do so if this is a wide spread problem. Will also consider u2515h if this issue does not manifest itself on the 25" monitor.

I had the flickering issue with a 2412m when connected to my 2014 15" rMBP. Oddly, there was no flickering with my 2012 Mac mini. So that led me to suspect it was a connection problem. I have an OWC thunderbolt dock that I used to connect the monitor to the rMBP and have not had any more issues at all. I was so happy this worked, as I really like the monitor.

Thanks for the feedback. Think I'll take a shot with the U2415 then.

One more question. Any problems with the monitor not waking up after computer has been asleep?

I have had no problems with waking from sleep.
