Usually common recommendations to prolong its lifetime are: reduce brightness & reduce too often updates (i.e., disable animations). But your results may vary since there were reports when users couldn't see anything after turning on soldering irons which were just laying in a box for a few months after buying. And there are users with first `TS100` models not having any issues with display at all.
