Actually Leroy, LG is the best thing that happened to Zenith. To date, they have injected 1 billion into the once ailing company. Now they have some of the best electronics ever ! They supplied Zenith with the funds so they could be the leader in HD development. Zenith developed the 8VSB system for HDTV broadcast amongst other things. Yes, the 90's were BAD years for Zenith but in the last 4 years I have done only one warranty claim on the new Flatron sets. Their parts dept in blindingly fast here in Canada and the service support is pretty good too. Anyway, these are just my opinions. I agree however, it will be interesting to see what happens to RCA quality and support in the future.
