"Might" is the key word here. I could not find any data sheets or lifetime specs on Noritake's web site, so I would not be willing to assume any longer life. Electron emission from a heated filament doesn't go on forever. But it probably goes on long enough...

The SB3 uses a vacuum fluorescent display- the same thing that is used for clock and counter display in most VCRs. I have old VCRs where the display has faded to barely visible. I would expect the same thing to happen to the SB3 display over time. By that time you will buy an SB9 with HD video streaming so I wouldn't worry about it.

Then switch off your screensaver. Go into SlimServer, Player settings, and set the display to 0 (off) when the screensaver is active. Edit: oops, stuffed up the quotes.

This has been answered before in more detail (you might want to search) but the slimp3 was released in 2001 and they're still going strong.
