Question about potential LED Backlight Life (ASUS PG279Q)

I have 3 ASUS ROG PG279Q panels that I purchased in late 2018. So they're roughly 6+ ish years old.

They have done a lot of time, I've used the PC (well, the PC has changed, not so much the monitors :-)) a huge amount of hours over these 6 and a bit years for work and play. It's hard to say for sure, but I would estimate they have now done about 25k to 30k hours of on-time.

It's really hard to find specs on the LED backlight lifetime, I can't find any mention whatsoever on the ASUS website, the manuals or basically anywhere, other than a few articles that suggest they have a 30k lifetime. I don't know if this is MTBF, it's really just a brief mention if at all. Some other similar panels are saying 50k so it seems a bit vague to me...

These panels are still perfect, if the backlighting dies it would be a real shame because I spent a lot of money on them!

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Is it a conservative figure? Has anyone had LED backlighting fail due to old-life on any make/model/etc?

Am I just being paranoid :-)

Thanks!

Interesting... I guess I'll just keep fingers crossed and hope they last as long as possible. Can't really afford to replace them at the moment but will have to if forced!
