I have had a couple of LCD's, bought new, and they all failed in some way. Usually capacitors, but the backlights (CCFL, not LED), get worn out easily and dim even after a few couple years. CRT's don't get this tired that quickly. And unlike a CRT, you can't just nudge the contrast up a little to get it brighter. Once the CCFL is tired, it's probably already as bright as it can go.

The old fluorescent lamps won't stay lit, when they get worn out.
