I have tested ESR on bulged caps and most of the time they will test good. Their capacitance generally goes low. Any bulged cap is suffering from the "capacitor plague".
Never trust one. Also, test any small (47mfd or lower) capacitors on the power supply. Usually LG TV's have the small ones lose capacitance but I've seen almost all of the name brands and some no name have these problems.
