My parents have a 54cm Panasonic TV which my dad bought for my mother while she was pregnant with my sister so she could watch TV in their bedroom. Its still running in their room and hasn't (to my knowledge) given a single problem..

My sister was born in 1990.

great news.

On a related note, I was surprised to see they made bicycle tyres at one point.

Speaking at a media briefing on 20 April, Daizo Ito – regional head of Panasonic for India, South Asia, Middle East, and Africa – said the quality of its products would set it apart in SA.

Marketing speak for "it'll cost more than our competitors"...

/inb4 it's worth it

I have never forgotten that slogan

I hope distributors Like Pinnacle and Axiz can also sell the media products.

How are their TVs compared to Samsung and LG?

 

[The_MAC]

Awesome. I loved their products, nothing like a good quality Japanese product.

For me a Japanese electronic product feels as solid as a German car

How are their TVs compared to Samsung and LG?

Back when Panasonic was still here. LG was known as Goldstar. That in itself should tell you the difference in quality

How are their TVs compared to Samsung and LG?

Their tube TV's were made here (assembled?) and were solid. Not sure of the newer ones.

Wasn't it called National Panasonic before?

I think it was National and then changed to Panasonic.

Never mind. Explanation here:

If I remember correctly they used to make the best plasma's... they may have stopped making them now though.

My dad still has a VHS player from Panasonic that works perfectly. It was one of those units you used to scan the barcode in the mags and then it programs the machine to start recording. Don't see the barcodes no more but that scanner still works

Googled it now. J40 was the model

Panasonic is one of the better electronics company.

Dont all TVs have parts from other manufactures in them?
