The company will join Sony, Vizio and Samsung who have both partnered with Google for TV platform. LG have revealed they will LG introduce their Google TV set at the CES show next week in Las Vegas.

Currently the TV operating system only runs on one TV set from Sony. Google TV has thus far been a bit of a lame duck, even managing to wipe millions off Logitech’s profits when they discontinued the Revue box.

The LG Google TV will run alongside the standard LG Smart TV which runs on open web technology and means LG are not putting all their connected TV eggs in one basket.

Speaking in a press release, President and CEO of LG Electronics, Havis Kwon said, “Through Google TV, LG has merged Google’s established Android operating system with LG’s proven 3D and Smart TV technologies, offering consumers a new and enthralling TV experience.”

But now Google have released a firmware update and have support for TV optimized Android apps. Add the fact that some big electronics companies are getting onboard, and the promised European launch in 2012, and Google may just be back in the connected TV race.
