Hold on a minute: LG isn’t withdrawing from the Plasma market…in the UK, at least
February 27, 2009 by Derek
It seems as though someone might have jumped the gun on LG and the fate of their Plasma TV line, at least in the UK.
George Mead, the Marketing guru for a large segment of the TV market at LG Electronics UK, has informed a few websites that LG Electronics UK will NOT be stopping the sale of Plasma TV’s in the UK in the near future. He was not able to comment about the US or any other territories and Plasma sales there, obviously.
To repeat: this applies only to the UK, since the statement we reported yesterday was pretty definite sounding in tone and came from the main VP of LG himself, Lee Gyu-Hong.
Mead spoke on, and we quote: “we have recently implemented a bespoke strategy to promote and market plasma TVs here in the UK”, so it appears Plasmas are safe there for now. As for the rest of the planet, who really knows now?
