I used to like LG products they were often really good quality and lasted a long time.

That's pretty much over now, not touching new LG products anymore. That's for sure!

I had an LG CRT and it was as old as me. Never died. It's a real shame the planet is suffering because of greedy business practices. They put climate change on the consumer but more needs to be done to big corporations to punish this kind of behaviour.

This is why I like dumb products. The smarter they are the more they tac on this kind of crap to them.
