For years they had been selling their TVs under the name Zenith. But, I read they had recently decided to start selling their upper line with the LG branding, and use Zenith for lower end product.

>>Somewhere I "think" I read "Lucky Goldstar" I know that sounds corny, but...
Bingo !!
Lucky Goldstar is one of the big Korean "chaebols" (mega-conglomerates), along with Samsung, Hyundai and a couple of others. I worked with LG in Korea about 15 years ago (arranging for them to manufacture a computer workstation we were selling to Unisys) and at the time there were about 150 different companies in the LG group.

... despite having 150 companies in the LG group, they still ended up sourcing most of the monitor guts from KEC -- the Korea Explosives Company. The resulting workstation was pretty reliable even so, although the monitors did tend to blow up from time to time

Ditto, except mine is from 1997, I believe. I got it off of some Web auction site that subsequently went under.
