Is LG and samsung same company?
They are not the same company, but the use the same assembly company in Korea and the parts that are installed in both machines have very similar OEM numbers. They also use the same warranty service companies. They are both Korean built machines. Side by side LG and Samsung with similar options are basically the same machine with a different interface LED or selector switches. Same hardware, but not the same company.
