The last gen Apple Thunderbolt display which was top notch at the time. Released in 2011. I know people who are still using them 10 years later which is a pretty good lifespan. You can get a massive refinement of one with the Studio Display for about the same price including inflation. I'll be happy with mine if it lasts 5 years. 10 would be amazing.

Whereas my 27" Iiyama that cost 1/4 of the price didn't last 2 years. Grrrrr.

Any decent LCD has a huge lifespan (on cheap ones power supply fails)
I have my old trusty HP LP2475 from 2010 with 27k hours on the backlight counter and still running great
They are getting morally obsolete and maybe have little higher power consumption compared to modern LED backlights
But might work for another decade  ::)

I turned the backlight down to 80% of nominal on my Samsung monitor.

4K LCD backlights are brighter than 1080p equivalents (because the panel has lower transmissibility) but my logic was if 100% backlight can survive the 3 year warranty with high confidence (else they'd not offer it) then 80% will last even longer.

If it's gamma corrected backlight intensity (it seemed like it) then 80% visible intensity is roughly 50% current so maybe even 4x longer.

The thing that ticks me off with the LED backlit and sidelit panels is that in most cases it would be trivial to design it so that he LED module is easily replaceable, yet they are virtually all constructed so that you have to completely disassemble the entire panel.

It's as though they were designing the panels so that it's not economically viable to repair them. :popcorn:

Did you ever meet a panel with a dead backlight? I never.
I had 2 monitors failures in my life and both were processor board issues causing artifacts.
And both lasted well over 10 years.
