Few days ago, i upgraded my home PC due to improper working of my old CRT LG 500 Studioworks. And then as my curiosity i opened that CRT Monitor.
The time i opened that monitor i shocked to see the name “LG-Philips Display” on the internal sticker.
Look at the internal sticker.
LG-Philips sticker on LG500 StudioWorks monitor
I done some research on this topic and i came to know some interesting facts that i was not aware of.
Actually LG (Korea) – Philips (Dutch) formed a venture LG-Philips to manufacture LCD Panels in 1999 but after few years in MID 2004 LG Display becomes an independent reputed company.
But still the company LG-Philips Display (Now named as LG Display) develops few LCD panels worldover. Now LG-Philips is named as LG Display which is owned by both Philips and LG electronics.Currently LG owns 37.9% of the company and Philips owns 32.9% in LG-Philips

Didn’t knew about that!
Some years ago I had this very old TV. The brand of the TV was Aristona and when the remote control of my TV died I had to find a new one..
Off course I couldn’t find one because it was too old untill I visit a small shop which was my last hope. When I told the story he said: “Aristona = Philips! Here try this Philips remote control, it WILL work.. If it doesn’t you get your money back!”.
And guess what: It did work!
summarized: Philips is a big company and sometimes they produce some products with other companies or in my case, under another brand!
