Nope. BenQ has a typo on their site. Proof at 5:40 here.

 

OP, BenQ is re-branding a lot of their old models for Zowie and changing very little other than the name and the price. I'm unable to spot any differences between the two. It really looks like this is about calibration only if that. I can tell you RL2455HM has been around since 2013 so try and think of the re-branded one as a 3-year-old model too. Now, they may well be quality monitors both and worth the price but I still think this is a dick move from BenQ. I can't really trust them these days.

Hi.

 

I'm looking at getting some new monitors, but I've been looking at two different retailers. One has the RL2455HM for $10 extra, and the other has the RL2455 for $10 less than the RL2455HM.

 

Is there any difference?

2455HM has only VGA.  2455 has VGA/HDMIx2 and DVI.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

I currently own an RL2455HM, and love it, great response time, does what it says on the tin, and good for the price. Would recommend, only downside is the bezel is rather thick, and it is only 60Hz.
