Do I understand correctly that you are giving away for free several hundred 24 inch LCD monitors?

is this where we are as a society? a $3 dvi->hdmi adapter too much to spend to keep a monitor going?
at the very least someone creative could take the whole lot and create a video wall art project.
if i was younger and had more energy (and lived near you) i might even have taken a stab at it.

we're a fortune 200 company that cares about uniformity in our offices across the globe...I don't make the rules..Also, new docks don't play well with this ancient technology

Plenty of people already took some home with IT telling them not to call with issues

On a serious note, a couple of months ago, I picked up two perfectly good 1920×1080 monitors at the local thrift store for $10 each. Bought a $35 dock and now the kid has a space in the office to plug in his school chromebook. Now he doesn't have to look at a microscopic screen to get his homework done.
With almost no effort and very little resources one could do all sorts of things with these. For example, one could set up an after school coding lab (that's how I got my start on computers back in the early 1980's.) I'm sure there are non-profits in your area that could make use of them. How about contacting the local scouting council and see if some enterprising scout could come up with an Eagle scout project using them.
E-waste is a big issue and keeping this many monitors out of the landfill would be a worthwhile endeavor...
