That wasn't just Samsung. Depending on the years anyway. Many different displays, routers, computers, etc failed. I think eMacs and early Airport routers also had the same problem. I had some client displays likewise fail. Some Sony LCDs and I forget the other brand. Something with a known name, but the actual brand behind it was something else.
Up to 2007 at least, longer if you consider things made in 2007 didn't start failing until a couple years later. If later than 2009/2010, probably a different problem with bad caps.
