Jeff, NBC is owned by GE but the GEname on television sets is owned by
Thomson of France. The same company that owns RCA. You wont find GE
on a plasma set because it is the low end brand for Thomson. Zenith
has not totally disappeared. Yes it is wholly owned by LG but many of
the sales and marketing personel were moved to Lincolnshire Illinois
along with the HDTV group. Engineering and design is dead, all done
now in Korea. The old zenith plant in Reynosa Mexico is still
operating producing LG designed sets with the zenith name.
LG stands for Lucky Goldstar. Lucky is a cheap brand of television
sold throughout Asia and the Goldstar brand was marketed in the U.S.
Note they are no longer sold under that name because of the low
quality that name inferred.


If engineering and design is dead, then the company is dead. Sales and
marketing is just the bull**** artist section of any company.
