I mentioned the name "Luck Goldstar" to a co-worker, the response was more-or-less, "I remember that crappy company...". They were known for more-or-less average to sub-standard (cheap) electronics a long time ago. They are a Korean company just like Samsung.
When I asked him if he liked LG Electronics he said, "I love 'em". His jaw dropped when I mentioned LG and "Luck Goldstar" are the same company.
