But my screen life > is now probably 10 times longer.) I have an old 22" Apple LCD cinema monitor which is over 4 years old. When I got it I set the brightness all the way down and it was plenty bright enough for me. Now I use it at two block of brightness on the indicator bar and it is great. I've know people who used theirs at max bright and they got really dim in two years.
