They are different companies. LG, formerly Lucky-GoldStar was the merger of two companies: Lucky Limited, a petrochemical company, and GoldStar Electronics, which made appliances and electronics. Samsung and LG today share the same warranty service company and also some assembly operations. I lived in Seoul from 1988 through 1992 and visited both companies many times. earle * _______________________ Earle Jones 501 Portola Road #8008 Portola Valley CA 94028 Home: 650-424-4362 Cell: 650-269-0035 earle.jones at comcast.net
