iMac A1418 LEDs on monitor are out. The iMac boots fine, otherwise. Has anyone tried other monitors (same LM215WF3) installed on the iMac?

Can get the HP one new for $49 or the Lenovo one (LM215WF4) for $62 which seems more cost-effective to rejuvenate an old machine.


The difference between Apple and others appears to be the monitor cable and wondered whether removing the cable from the old monitor is possible. Replacement monitor, for Apple iMac, runs about $350
 
As suspected, the connector is the difference per this video:
