          If LG brings same quality to mobile screen we see on tv, other OEMs in the future may choose LG over Samsung.
          LG oled tv has realistic colors, not vivid/saturated like Amoled screen.

Sammy is already at maximum production rates, which is why Apple looked at LG to provide the rest of the displays. But LG doesn't have enough facilities to supply them. Also, having two suppliers makes you sure that if the other has a problem, you aren't screwed. For my laptop, the DRAM is supplied by both Samsung and SK Hynix, so does the NAND/SSD.

                I don't know why LG is doing so bad in the smartphone market.. I mean it's obvious starting from the chipset choice of the G6 and the display choice for it's flagships.. Someone should wake up pretty soon at LG or else it will go south pretty soon.

                          So that's why LG doesn't care own phone production - bad sells, bad support - they just don't care, they will receive mony from more successful market players

                            Money For LG $$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!
