LCDs eventually grow dimmer as the backlight tubes age. There's an intial brightness dropoff during the first few hours of use, then a gradual decline thereafter. If the monitors at the office are any indication, lifespan is longer than CRT and no particular care is required. Reliability is typically excellent, but any out of warranty failures will likely be uneconomical to repair.LCDs are not all created equal! Some have better blacks, wider viewing angles (important!) and truer colors than others. Sony's flagships are the "XBR" series. Not aware of anyone, Sony or anyone else, making a premium-quality 15-incher, but things improve when you look at 27", 32" and 40" models. Oh, and if possible, also view with standard-def material to ensure that doesn't look worse than before.
