What Happened to Panasonic?

Things started going downhill for the TV division whenPlasma TVsales began to plummet alongside improvements in LCD TV technology.

Consequently, Panasonic ended Plasma TV production in 2014.

Despite obstacles, the company continued to make efforts to stay in the market.

Unfortunately, it reversed course on both OLED and LED/LCD.

Those markets include Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc players, headphones, and compactaudio systems.

The company has also resurrected its high-endTechnicsaudio brand.

Possible Panasonic TV Comeback?

Despite all of Panasonic’s misfortunes, there may be a silver lining for brand fans and U.S. consumers.

However, once you cross the border with your TV, Canadian warranties are no longer valid.

It is also important to note that Panasonic’s Canada eStore will not ship to U.S. addresses.
