One thing I've done since I bought mine in 2008, I run the backlight at 3 out of 10. (It's still plenty bright enough for me.) With it plugged into a Kill-A-Watt meter at the factory setting it drew over 200 W. With the backlight set on 3 the power was about 95 Watts and the set runs noticeably cooler. I'll attribute that to its long life so far.
