How long can I use an LCD monitor? (life span of backlight)

The estimated backlight lifetime is about 30,000 hours or eight years of use at ten hours per day. (However, lifetime is not guaranteed for eight years.) The lifetime means the time from the initial brightness level to deteriorate 50% in normal operation. EIZO offers a Backlight Saver function so you can use the product for a long period of time.
