The problem is inherent with vacuum fluorescent displays. One person has complained, but the product is new. In a year or two from now, everyone's display will be fading/burned. Look at any VCR with a vacuum fluorescent display. In a year or so they fade. In 5 years you can't read them any more.
The real issue is whether it's worth bothering about. In 5 years SB3s will be obsolete, antique, nearly useless junk, like every other computer device. The networking will be obsolete and slow and maybe not compatible with the UWB wireless that will be replacing 802.11g. The wired networking will be too slow because wired networks will be Gbit, if anyone is using wired networks... You'll want the thing to stream HD video to your wall size TV. The display will last long enough for 99.9% of everyone who buys one now because they'll replace it with whatever is new and cool in a year or two. In the meantime, I dim the display and run a news ticker or turn the display off when the unit is off.
