I have a Dell P2715Q that has the lower left 1/4 of the picture a

grey and it blinks from normal to a little grey.
But, today it got a little worse, ...
Here is a picture of the problem.

A backlight problem usually doesn't give a sharp line like the
top/bottom gray-out
shows. Have you tried the monitor with a different video source
(another video
card, or a TV output)? If there's a signal line with weak drive, or
a power droop
during part of the page-refresh cycle, it could cause such an
artifact.
Yes, this is a dumpster dive monitor my son picked up at work. He tried >>> it on his computer when he first got it and it did this.
When my monitor died on Friday, we pulled it out for use, as it's
better
than nothing.
It looks like a bad-data-transfer rather than a backlight problem,
though:
can you try both VGA and digital inputs, to see if there's any
difference?
Usually, the display has a flat flexible printed circuit cable,
internally, it
would also be worth cleaning and reseating that connector.
If you can do it safely, poking parts and connectors with a stick
while powered is
a useful diagnostic (even if the printed circuit board is cracked, that
can be fixable if you find the crack).
The intermittent symptom suggests bad connection somewhere.
It's getting worse now making it difficult to use the computer. Ever
try to watch a video bad monitor on the bad monitor?
You don't know what's on the video and what is the monitor. Here is
the latest symptom.

I'm ready to but a new monitor.
I had a 23.6" Asus, and the one I'm trying to us is a 27", I think
I'll go with the bigger one, 27".
I'm asking for input on a model. I don't play games I generally just
surf the internet, occasionally make a line drawing in Paint
and Save a lot of picture memes in paint. Just want something easy for
the tired old eyes.

That's not a back light issue. That clear line of demarcation of brightness between the upper and lower segments indicates a bad display.
