My 815c is an LED, not CRT.

LCD, I think you mean. Probably with CCFL (tube) backlighting.

IMO, there are NO displays that are LED, apart from OLEDs; they're _all_
LCD, just with varying backlights. (Excluding plasmas.) I never thought
we should have let the (initially TV) industry get away with calling
their displays "LED", when it was only the backlight that had changed,
not the display panel. However, they _have_ got away with it, so we're
stuck with it. Anyway, you've got a flat-panel display, which means
pixels of a fixed size.

Many LCD monitors don't make it to 25000 hours, because
the high voltage inverters (more than one present on
the larger monitors), those fail and can no longer
give the 700V to 1000VAC the lamps need. Each lamp

(Is it always AC?)

Modern panels have switched to LED lighting solutions of
various sorts, so the HV inverters are gone. But that
transition likely happened after you got your Microtek.
I have an old-timer LCD panel here, the one I'm typing on,
and it's 1280x1024, and as far as I know, it has CCFL too.
The light from it, might be a tiny bit brownish now, but still
quite usable. I expect my eyeballs to wear out, before the
monitor does :-)

My Windows 98 laptop probably is the same. It's a bit yellower, but to
be honest I only notice when it's alongside a more modern machine. My
big old 20" LCD (4:3, not hi-res!) is rather dim.
