In fairness, though, I see countless monitors, most days, that are over
10 years old.
Wandering around most datacentres, and you'll see the same.
As to X terminals, well they're not a league apart from thin client
terminals - so you could easily expect similar longevity.
Most of the X terminal vendors got heavily into thin client terminals,
back in the day.
