Hey I don't know where to post it so I figured it was safe here.Anyways does this brand LG suck?
The reason I ask is because It was a no name brand just a year ago.You couldn't even find at retail stores and now every store has it and they demand high dollar for it.I could get this brand so cheap on newegg just a year and a half ago because no one had heard of it.
I went to circuit city and saw them more than sony,panasonic,philips,sharp etc and these brands have been around for decades.

It's not appealing to me, but many people are starting to buy it. Don't know what is that all about.
If I always hear voices surrounding me, does it mean I'm crazy or that I hear in Dolby 5.1?

Yeah same here.I guess I'm just b******g but I felt like it was another company that will get rich just because they have a higher price point.It's not like this 2bit company has better tv's than even lower price and un heard of brands much less a sony.But yet there asking for more money.
I like a reputable brand that's gonna last so I wanted to reseach it.Hey I wonder how much money LG must have put out to get on store shelves so fast.And for such a high price.I'm going to stay away, I'm not rich so I don't wanna deal with the repercussions.The sales guy was practicly begging me and saying it was so great and trusted.I wanted to get others opinions first.
Thanks to alienator for the sig.He's cool so just ask him for one. |

I like and use LG as well...Hey they are all made in cina where about 60,000 chinese work and live in NAZI LIKE conditions to satisfy our western material needs of consumption..
They work 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, live in on site dormitories and get $66 a month..
Forget brand loyalty, how about SLAVE LABOUR..
This story has so upset me I think I will have to buy a bigger ipod to shut out the reality around me...
see ya

One of the Biggest company in korea is SAMSUNG and LG. If you research, believe it or not, LG was Better company than samsung back in the day like 9years ago. If i was getting a t.v, my first choice would be SAMSUNG and second will be LG. The third will be philips or toshiba or sony. But i would get samsung or LG. I had many products with samsung and LG and they are both excellent product. I do own a lot of samsung and LG product and sony and they are LG and samsung is actully way better than SONY. I had SAMSUNG TV and i was so amazed by it. Than i trade that t.v for LG and the picture quilty Is almost idenitcal.

LG are a great brand, they are the leaders in HD tv and its development, last i heard they were a get together of two companies.
I respect all members, you should respect all members too! When you are considerate of others, most of the time others are considerate of you! So lets work together to make a better community, better understandings, and an overall feeling of respect.

LG stands for Lucky Goldstar. I believe Goldstar merged with some other company.
LG products are worth less than garbage, in my experience. I had a DVD burner's double-layer capability fail after only a dozen burns. I bought this drive from Newegg right about the time you said they started getting noticeable; then again, I've had tons of problems with stuff I bought at Newegg so I don't know whether to blame the drive or Newegg. I also have LG cell phones and they suck with crappy batteries and bizarre modes that seem to activate themselves. Frankly, there are enough equivalent brands in the same price range and enough vendors out there that it's not worth buying LG, if you have any doubts about their products.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

dude it's not them, it's you.
First of all, Newegg IS the best site for buying stuff. If you have problems EVEN it's your fault, call them and they will take care of you.
SECOND LG stand for life's good. Maby you got an outdated product,defected or something. Newegg would be happy to replace that drive for you.

LG stands for life's good, but they used to stand for something else.
LG are one of the leading companies in making TV's.

Maybe, or maybe I'm just getting junk from them. You're right that Newegg great customer service though - you will need it. I haven't (KNOCK ON WOOD) with any of the other vendors I deal with.

They are good, but they arent the leaders in HD, TV's or DVD's, Pioneer make the best HD's, for TV's its Panasonic, Sony & Phillips (Crt'c, LCD's etc) and as for DVD's, stuff from the bigger brands is always of high qaulity, I have Sony, LG, Phillips and JVC DVD's, they are all pretty good.
That is in my experience, also from reading the WHICH? guide and several other electronic reviews magazines.

LG was formerly known (back in the 80s and early 90s) as "Goldstar", a Korean company making cheap (usually rather crap) TV sets and other home electronics. LG is a shortcut of "Lucky Goldstar".
Philips (Dutch company, one of the world's largest consumer electronics companies) and LG (Korean company, making electronics, petrochemicals, etc) are separate companies, but they have a joint venture in LCD displays, so essentially LCD displays made by LG and Philips use same components (and assembly lines).
Similarly, LG and Hitachi are separate companies, but they have joint venture for "optical data storage solutions", meaning that DVDR drives, CDR drives, etc made by LG and Hitachi use same components and assembly lines.

I watched a program a while back that looked into LG and their company and it uncovered that Lg actually sell it's screens and components to brands like sony,philips etc. They are working on things like flexible screens that you can roll up and take with you - neat eh - and also are leaders in finger print and eye recogniton (forgotten the fancy name lmao)
I am very pleased with everything LG i have bought and think they are a great make..
*edit* realised I said the same thing as dRD about component sharing lol my bad not trying to get in on that one ;)

I have an external LG 16X lightscribe burner. Works great. My only criticism is that it won't do quality scans with Nero.
