LCD's get dimmer because the flourescent backlighting ages just like the
flourescent lights in your home do.  Eventually one end of the tubes become
darker than the other and your get uneven illumination on the display.  With
CRT's they get dimmer across the entire display and you can sometimes correct
for it by increasing the gain.
