i have heard and seen how LCDs become almost unuseable after awhile of shwoing the same images and i wonder how long do these things lasts for normal usage (not showing logos just personal computing, turns screen of at night)

LCDs don't have screen burn in the same way CRTs do. For CRTs, the burn is permanent. Once the phosphors are gone, they're gone. For LCDs, though, it's temporary. You can fix it by using the complementary image for a while, or just leaving it off for a while.

I used the same LCD for about three years, then gave it to a friend, who's still using it.
