Anyone have any experience with this tv? Or know of a good spot on the web
that might have some reviews?

I have a new 37 in. LG LCD model. I hope your User Manual is written
better than mine? Setup was no where near as easy as on old Sony and
finding out how to edit out channels I did not want was difficult.

But, I did hear that "LG" stands for "Life's Good." Now isn't that a
strange brand name?

In Korea Samsung is more popular, outsells LG even tho LG started TV
business first.

That may be what their PR guys came up with but their old name was
"Lucky Goldstar."

Thank you for the info! I was told LG = Life's Good by a salesman at
a store. Now I'm chuckling that I fell for it! Oh well.... :)

He didn't lie to you...that's what they're currently using to explain
their initials...but for years their brand name was Goldstar...a VERY
low end crappy korean brand.

I think that "LG - Life's Good" is just a slogan. LG stands for Lucky
Goldstar.

Of course some of us (including maybe you) can remember when
"Made in Japan" was the punch line to TV skits and jokes. Japanese
product quality improved, and Korean product quality has also.

Hi,
In Korean the name of company is Kumsung = Gold Star in direct
translation. B4 that the name was Nak-hi = Happy and Joy in direct
translation. Life is Good is their advertising theme.
