Light-emitting diodeWill using the screen at high brightness for a long time causing LED's to burn out faster?
Do LED's burn out?
That's 5.7 years running 24/7. Yes, LEDs can burn out, but you'd probably get rid of your Mac in favor of a new model long before that happens.A standard 40 W incandescent bulb has an expected lifespan of 1,000 hours while an LED can continue to operate with reduced efficiency for more than 50,000 hours
Does using the screen on a higher brightness (the highest) hurt your eye at all? I don't necessarily feel strained but I don't want to ruin my vision unintentionally. Also how does this affect the lifespan of the screen?
A fluorescent does hurt after time; a LED doesn't give me that headache. It may also be part due to the glossy screen and the surrounding black trim allows the eye to focus better.
Does this mean I don't have to worry about inadvertently damaging eyes right?
Provided the sun is not directly behind the screen, a mazillion watt lamp or a lawn gnome with toothpicks, you are good to go, but I am not an eye doctor so please don't sue me if I forgot something.
