Is there anything you can do to prevent it? Is it exposure to Ultraviolet? Normal aging?

Frank seemed to have a great setup where he had displays that appeared to be in front of windows with blinds. So it gave some backlighting to his displays.

Dude, I'll call you on the freak factor and raise you two hundred.

My bedroom windows are covered in aluminum foil wrap.

SOme of my 70's stuff is super yellow-brown, and brittle. I'm guessing it was left out in the sun a lot.
