vizio-logo.gifVizio and LG have settled a patent dispute that has been ongoing for over two years.

The dispute was regarding a supposed infringement by Vizio on one of LG's patents for LCD HDTVs. The patent had to do with disrupting a television's use, such as what is done by hotels. It was serious, as the International Trade Commission was planning to possibly ban the sale of certain Vizio televisions in the United States.
