Well Troy not sure about the burn out.  But I have had my PRO-2004 for about 
10 years now and it is also constantly backlit.  Mine is on for 10 to 15 
hours per day, sometimes 24 hours a day.  but it has never burnt out, faded 
or anything else.  In fact, after all this time, mine has only suffered 2 
problems.  One being my kids.  My 2 year old shortly after I got it rammed a 
pencil into the speaker so now I must use an external.  the only other 
problem is a slight crack in the display crystal from being dropped.  other 
than that I have never had a problem.
