- LG have announced that the company had a bit of a rough time in the last quarter as profit fell 22% in Q1 compared with the same period a year earlier. The slip was blamed on the stagnant TV market, where profit fell by about $80 million to $322.88 million. On the plus side LG's phone business is picking up, driven by sales of the Optimus G and Nexus 4 in particular with good sales expected to come from the G Pro too!
