To be more exact, the LCD glass manufacturer is "LG Philips," a joint venture between LG and Royal Philips of the Netherlands.
LG has a 38% share in the venture and Royal Philips of the Netherlands has a 62% share.
Its main competitor in LCD glass is Samsung...however, LG Philips has the largest global market share.

Also, there is more electronics involved in the manufacture of an HD television than only the LCD glass...and yes, the television is indeed "Made in Belgium," per the manufacturer's label on the back of the television.
I'll post a picture of the label later this morning.

Thanks for the kudos. Mine looks almost identical to the model you linked to. However, the model you linked to is the 42PF-9730A, mine is the 42PF-9830A. http://www.consumer.philips.com/cons...ESHQVHKFSEKI5P

I will address your response concerning the Monster HDMI cable in a seperate thread.
