Samsung TV Bad Capacitor Lawsuit Settlement

I have posted fixes to a number of Samsung LCD televisions on this blog and now am happy to see that Samsung Electronics America Inc. (SEA) will be reimbursing owners with defective capacitors for getting them fixed. See the Samsung web site for details:

It involves the March 2, 2012 District Court of Oklahoma City No. CJ-2011-7260, Ryan Russell and Phillip Bourne + plantiffs vs. Samsung Electronics America Inc. If I read the settlement correctly, the two individuals get a new TV or $750 US and the lawyers get $475,000. I hope to get my expenses for the parts and time I spent repairing our TV.
