Aging LCDS

[chuckcmagee]

I know LCDs get dimmer as they age. I have a few from 2003 to prove it. Anybody know if they get dimmer if they are not used, i.e. "new old stock"? I would hate to pay a nice high price only to find that the LCD is very dim even though it was never used.

I got my new computer October 2005 and I haven't seen any fading problems associated with it, though having said that I like using dark colours wherever possible on it.

I wonder if it's attributed to the backlight...
