I've read in various technical publications that even the best VGA color
monitor is good for only about 2 years of continuous use (8 or more hours
daily) before they "wear out."  I suppose a burnout program, designed to blank
the screen when you don't tap a key for a specified amount of time, could
prolong the life of a monitor.
 
The Tandy CM monitors are RGB, right?  If so, I haven't read or heard anything
regarding their life expectancy.
