I still have a 2007 (or 08?) iMac in my office that I use to watch Netflix. I just replaced the HDD with a SSD some years ago. The machine still runs great on OS X 10.10.

The only thing that's a little off-putting is the screen's CFL backlight.

Was the backlight always off-putting or did it become off-putting gradually over the years?

If the former, can you describe what about the light is off-putting?

I ask because I'm interested in the aesthetics of lighting technologies.
