The Korean press is reporting that LG has secured a deal with UK high street chain Dixons worth millions of dollars. LG claims that it won nearly $20 million worth of orders from different European players at the CeBIT show in Hannover over the last week. The deal means that flat screen monitors, which have taken a long time to take off, could finally be within the purse of an average punter. LG said it will ship over half a million units this year, much more than its deadly South Korean rival, Samsung. ®
