LG brand TVs were once called Gold Star....
I would not recommend an LG product. We bought a very expensive LG flatscreen panel TV and believe it or not, that thing died just over a year later (1 year, 9 days after purchase and exactly 9 days after the warranty ended). When we called the dealer about it he chuckled and said, "I guess you bought the lemon... ha.. ha.. ha!" I couldn't get over how rude he was so I told him I would tell everyone that LG makes garbage... and exactly who we purchased it from (he's out of business now). Our next large flatscreen purchase was a Sony Bravia and the picture is 100 times better than with the LG.
