This is particularly true of Samsung monitors.  I keep a package of them 
handy.  I've never had more than 1 fail at a time and they are quite 
easy to replace. OTOH it is a quite cxommon problem.
IIRC They are only a 1/4" or 3/8" in dia and about 3/4 inch long.

I think shipping was more than the caps.
