You know Goldstar merged with Lucky and became Lucky Goldstar or LG as we now know them. They aren’t too shabby these days.
I still think SONY generally makes nice hardware (software has been another story), though I think there is still a cultural Japanese design style in their DNA - tending to be more complex than they often need to be, verses and American company like Apple who tend to take a KISS approach (to the point of irritation for some users). I seem to recall reading somewhere that a much higher percentage of Japanese individuals would read product manuals (finding out all the features/functions) whereas Americans as a rule didn't (hence if it wasn't in their face/easily discoverable it was lost on them). Generalisations of course but interesting all the same.
