leave LCD backlight on all the time???
I am curious what you guys think about leaving LCD backlights on all the time. I have a 4x40 LCD,and can easily make a switch to turn it off/on, but it would be easier to just leave it on all the time. I dunno about the backlight wearing out over time...
Any suggestionz ?!?

What do the rest of ya'll think????
Do many people even have switches to turn backlight on/off ???
Why don't you just power it from the PC itself? If the PC is on, then the backlight is on, etc.

Well, yeah Rob - that's what i was thinking.
I guess i did not explain myself very well.
I can:
1.backlight ALWAYS on while computer is on
or
2.switch backlight on/off (depending on daylight/nighttime) while computer is on
thx..

I have a 4x40 Timeline Parallel LCD with a HD44780 Chip, When I leave it on for 15 min + , it gets VERY hot and I turn off the backlight with a 12v switch until it cools down
