As suggested in the Ofcom report I mentioned on Monday, we now have proof that us Brits aren’t letting the recession put us off investing in new technology. A new report by the GfK Group shows that the flat panel TV market grew by 22.9% in the first half of this year, when compared to the same period in 2008.

This is fantastic news for us in particular because LG is currently the fastest growing TV brand in the flat panel market, up 62% on value Jan – May. This means LG have now overtaken Sony!

This is on top of one of our new sets, the LG 42LF7700 with built-in Freesat, being nominated for T3′s TV of the year. This summer is getting sunnier, even if it does keep raining! Right now, Life is definitely Good for LG TVs. It will be interesting to see how much this growth continues with the new products launching at IFA in September!

So, thank you if you’ve bought an LG TV this year – or voted for us on the T3 awards! And if you’re looking to buy a new TV, check out the LG Buyer’s Guide for tips on getting the set that caters to your needs!
