At work I've repaired more than my fair share of Samsung LCD TVs, and Dell and other off-brand LCD monitors. I'd say about 80% of the time the problem is bloated electrolytic caps on the inverter board. Samsung uses the cheap CapXion brand of capacitors - I've been saving them all in a ziplock bag just to see how many I can collect.
