Panasonics why they appear to be behind the others now

[flashgordon1952]

Strange i remember the good old days of the 80s and 90s and there PLASMA TVs ! They in my opinion made the best TVs ,at that time , not now ! I have had 5 PLASMA all by one (Samsung) have been from them
But in recent years they appear to be behind ,with there models ( i gather they running Fire OS now) , what has gone wrong ? Think it is there development ,compared with LG Sony Samsung TCL and Hisense ., has grounded to a almost halt. WHY!
If i was buying a TV now . I would go for a Hisense 50/55 inch . As they may not be the best about , but are great value ,for what you get .
Will there 2025 or 2026 models be any better ??

Panasonic OLED TVs have LG OLED panels in them and they are charging a premium over LG OLED TVs. I am pretty sure the cheap Panasonic OLED TVs or LEDs are Vestel made too. So with people knowing this and with the quality not being up to standard of others people are not buying them (or are and returning them).

Apparently they are due to exit the TV market in early 2026 in the UK if the rumours are to be believed:

Exactly the reason why you bought a TCL...... Panasonic is unable to compete with China and South Korea on price.
