Yea.... Ten years is a good estimate. Some have been known to last MUCH longer under ideal conditions.
Granted the lifespan depends a lot on it's environment and use as well.
If it is a dusty, smoky environment, you can expect the lifetime to be cut in half.

I used mine for about 3 years and it was still good at that point. I used it all day everyday , it was the TV the radio the DVD and game system and the alarm clock..., just on all the time..then the AC went out in my room and over heated the place and it blew...
from my experience it will stay ok up until conditions are unfavorable....I have worked in the field and never knew a monitor to blow for no reason...

Depends on how you use it, and on the design life.
I would expect 10,000 hours at a minimum. More expensive monitors are often deigned for 3 years of continuous use, or about 25,000 hours. Generally you get what you pay for.
That is an average design life. As with all electronics YMMV.

Longer than you'll want to use it anyway.
