    As the sceen of VAIO SZ, especially equipped with LED backlight is very expensive to replace, I am trying to prolong the duribility of the screen by keeping the brightness at medium level.
    However, I would like to know if this solution could have any benefit?
    Any comment?Thanks you

    I doubt this is going to make much difference in the overall longevity of the screen. Frankly, it would be a waste to have the LED-backlit screen if you always ran it at medium brightness.

    LED screens should actually last considerably longer than regular flourescent screens, at least their brightness will not degrade as much over time as a regular flourescent screen, your screen should last for a while and I'd just run it on max brightness, don't worry about it.
