My nonprofessional unscientific observations were that substantially less then maxed out brightness level combined with using the set only for actual active viewing of selected programs vs leaving it on most of the time maxed out for daytime open curtains was a difference of ca 15-25 yrs vs ca 5 yrs service from a color CRT.
So, yes, reducing brightness plus not leaving it on for hours of background noise or as a burglar diversion lamp should extend usable service.
One other impression was that most of the "younger" CRT aging was with NAP group sets.
