The LCD glass is made at the LG Philips LCD factory in Korea (the joint venture between LG and Royal Philips of the Netherlands...see my earlier email in this thread). The LCD glass is then sent to the Philips factory in Belgium where the remainder of the television is made and assembled.
LG Philips' main competitor is Samsung, however LG Philips has the largest global market share of any LCD manufacturer in the world.
I would be interested to know how many other flat panel televisions have LCD glass from the LG Philips factory.
Speaking of Korean manufacturers...I have been impressed by their quality.
I have a Samsung microwave oven in my kitchen that is 18 years old.
I have not replaced it because it still operates as good as it did when it was brand new.
I am also sitting in front of a 19" Samsung LCD monitor as I type this.
I purchased it about 3 years ago because it was simply one of the best monitors I could find.
