My MP display is about 2 years old and still is as sharp as the new
NeXTstation at the MIT microcomputer center.  I have very slight
burn-in of the dock icons which I just began to notice, so now I slide
the dock off the bottom.  I used to leave my cube on all the time with
brightness down, but I turn it off at night now.  I have no bad pixels
and no blurry areas.  I also do not have any skewing of horizontal or
vertical lines.  In summary - it's just fine!
