LG - History
LG first started out as a home appliances manufacturing company and the name was Goldstar. Later on Goldstar merged with Lucky, a renowned chemical company. They used to market a number of products under the tag of Gold star. Lucky was basically dealing into South Korean home products like toothpaste and detergents. The company was renamed as LG in the year 1995. LG stands for "Lucky Goldstar". Their caption is "Life's good".
Joint ventures by LG
LG made its first move towards a joint venture with Royal Philips Electronics in the year 2001. The resulting companies were "LG Philips LCD" and "LG Philips Display". Now they have again collaborated with Nortel and the company is known as LG-Nortel Co. Ltd. They are also associated with Hitachi as Hitachi-LG Data Storage, which is into manufacturing data storage devices. Acquiring the Zenith Appliances, which used to be an American Television manufacturing company, was an important step by LG.

LG LCD TVs
LG has been a leading company in manufacturing LCD TVs and monitors. In fact their LCD range can be considered as a beautiful blend of imagination and excellent craftsmanship. They keep on updating their LCDs and always add some unique features on top of the existing ones. Recently they have introduced the "Pearl Black LCD" range all over the world. There are two sizes available in the range, 32 and 42 inches. The response time of these televisions is as low as 5 milliseconds and the contrast ratio is 10000:1. LG has implemented the eye technology which is a specialty of the brand and this enhances the contrast and brightness of the images. The "piano black" glazy finish of the frame looks beautiful along with the round stand. The LG LB9 speakers improve the sound experience of the LCD range and the complete package is really a visual feast for any viewer.
It is pretty tough to summarize the features and benefits associated with the LG products in few words. But the company is seriously dedicated towards providing quality products and after sales service to the customers.
