The PLED displays do wear out over time, though the 'half-life' was supposed
to be 10,000 hours.
In practice it seems to be less than that.
If your display is fading, it doesn't mean that it is going to fail
completely.
The worst affected displays are obviously those that have been on longest.
The V4 OS for P3 includes a screensaver that will extend the life of your
display by blanking it after 10 minutes of inactivity.

The PLED can be replaced with an LCD display, and I have kits with a
suitable module, mounting screws, etc.
I'm going to put an order page for these up just as soon as I've got my head
round a new web editing package.
