The backlights in these monitors, like all consumer/prosumer
LCDs will lose 30-50% of their brightness within the first three
years of use. If the OP doesn't mind spending $2K every few
years they'll work just fine. But it makes a lot more sense to
spend $300 or $400 on a CRT which will provide at least
three years of consistent color (and probably much longer).
