    When do LCD's usually go?

    I've got a 19 wide LG LCD. New(ish), December 2007 build. Chi-Mei panel, Lien-Chang PSU/Inverter combo. It has around 1300 hours on it. It had at least 450 hours, but then I accidentally cleared the timer. It has 797 hours on it right now, plus however many it had before I cleared it.

    I have reason to believe it has Samxon GF caps in it. Not 100% sure because I haven't opened it up to check yet. Do you guys think it'll go any time soon? 1200 hours isn't much, methinks. I saw a store model, before this monitor was discontinued, with 4,700 hours on it. Would a preemptive recap with Panny FM's be necessary so soon? Would a monitor with crapcaps make it to nearly 5k hours? I'm kinda hoping that even though it probably has GF's in it, I won't need to open it up for a recap.

    Also, a shot of the inverter/PSU. From the FCC page, that's how I know what's in it even though I haven't opened mine yet.

    While we're at it, is the PSU/inverter any good quality-wise?

        Disregard the one I saw with 5k hours and recap it is then.

        Can anyone on this board sell me Panny's? Or will I have to get those from Digikey?

          People on the board might have a few of this or that size but probably not every size.
          Without knowing the sizes you need no one can answer the question.
          Panny FM are a good choice though.

            Well I meant if anyone on here supplied Panasonic caps, like how Big Pope supplies Samxons.

            I'll crack it open next time I get a chance (mother would freak if she saw me opening a less than 1-year-old LCD).

              Personally, I'd leave it alone until the warranty expires.
