Of course they're not all the same. I want to see if any of them run anywhere close to 85C or 105C, as claimed. In particular, the big aluminum can type capacitors that are often misplaced very close to the tubes. You may actually be correct but I doubt it since aluminum makes a very good IR reflector. The caps under the chassis are probably comparatively cool.
While I have a few minutes waiting for the contact cement repairs on my tennis shoes to dry, I have a mini-rant. Why am I doing your calculations for you? You proclaim that leakage current is important, yet I'm expected to do the calculations? You proclaim the temperature has an effect on ESR, yet I'm expected to calculate how big an effect. You drag guitar amps, hi-v caps, and internal leakage, into a discussion on the OP's LCD TV or monitor, which uses low voltage, low leakage, low-ESR, and apparently low-life capacitors, while I'm expected to demonstrate the distinction? If you have a point to make, please do your own calcs.
Are you aware that you're breaking Australian law? If there were a reward, I would probably turn you in to the authorities.
