Today, the Zenith R&D Lab, based in Lincolnshire, Ill., is the headquarters for LG’s U.S. Capitalizing on the powerful combination of LG’s technical, marketing and financial resources, and Zenith’s renowned brand name and digital HDTV expertise, Zenith merged with LG in 1999.

Beginning with the advent of radio, the legendary Zenith name has been synonymous with quality and innovation for generations of American consumers.
