The way I understand it, LG has always been the parent company of Zenith; they just made thing simpler.Congrats on the new set, sounds like the high altitude feature was the deal winner in your case. When you do decide to upgrade later, you will have a great set to use anywhere in the house (unlike my dinosaur RPTV, which I might be able to shoehorn in the master bedroom)
I would recommend one of the excellent universal remotes to take the place of the LG's. I'm using the Theater Master MX 500, bought on close out. Here's a great site for more info:
Follow Ups:
LG is Lucky Goldstar; the same "Goldstar" you saw on electronics at at K-mart a some years back. Had big success selling computer monitors. I think they only bought the rights to the Zenith name and logo; Sylvania too. They've come a long way from $88 TVs and computer monitors.
One of the sales people told me that LG bought out Zenith and continued improving on the plasma technology. There was in fact a Zenith branded plasma in the showroom along with the LG and LG looked better. Go figure.Here's an interesting issue that cropped up but not a major problem. There are a couple of remote codes on the LG that are shared with my PS Audio preamp! One of them shuts down the preamp and the other skews the balance to the right. This shouldn't be a problem under 'normal' use. I was testing out all the features and making adjustments to the LG picture when I ran into this. Under normal operation these controls wouldn't be used.
Thanks for the info on the Theater Master MX500. I'm not yet familiar with it. I have an old original Philips Pronto that has helped to minimize remote clutter.
