LG will oversee the development and production process, while B&O will take charge of the concept, design and acoustics for all future televisions sold by the Danish electronics maker.
LG produce a variety of television models, such as OLED TVs and 4K TVs. B&O is expected to avail of LG's expertise, and will most likely expand their television range.
