If that's true, the HP ZR2740w is a much better choice. Got mine for ~$650 few months ago, so it'll be < 2x of these prices but no need to worry if they will fail or not.
I think it actually helps reduce eyes strain. I have it setup in a standing desk like setup so it's ~15" in front of me, so distance is just few inches apart than a standard distance to a laptop screen. My eyes don't get tired at all, where as looking at my laptop screen does, but that's probably due to the pixel density in addition to the reflectiveness.
