Well done LG. That's what i call adapting technology to meet the peculiarities of your target market. As time goes on try improving on the battery life . If it can at least provide users with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 hours during power outages you will have conquered a large share of the Nigerian market for LED TV's.
