Success! It was the 2 caps on the right, the guy at Radioshack said the others looked fine.. right he was 
2 Caps: $3.41
Soldering Iron: $15 (had to replace mine :hs
Not having to spend $400 on a shiny new Samsung: Priceless. (sorta
)

:goodjob: well done on the fix.
I was gonna try fixing a TV of my mom's that wouldn't stay on unless the room temp. was above 70, even though I didn't have any idea what to look for (was gonna check online), but instead of giving it to me when she moved, or just holding on to it, they gave it to goodwill or salvation army or something
It was nice too, had stereo sound and A/V inputs, that's fancy as shit compared to my TV

Question maybe you'd know, I noticed the caps are rated at 1000hrs at 105* (not sure if thats C or F), but I was wondering how long I should expect them to last? I'm not sure what the operating temp of the tv is.. Just a tad leary since I had this for about a year and they blew..
I dont get it :hsugh:
