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.
