I am probably one of the few who got a backlight exchange for free in the
frame of the german Independent Newton Support backlight project (testing
and developing foils with backlight4you).
As far as I can tell the properties of the original backlight and the
replacement are pretty much the same regarding brightness and readeability
of the display.
But the replacement is supposed to last much longer.

Cheers
Johannes
