Totally agree! When Samsung first released their flat screen LCD TVs, ours kept failing after two years of usage and was out of warranty. Apparently a bunch of Korean TVs (including LG) had a bad batch of caps from their vendors. Getting it fixed would of cost $300. Buying my own cap and fixing with my dad cost $1. It was a fun bonding experience too.
