Panasonic, once revered for its plasma TV

I know them from their VCRs and batteries, not their plasma TVs. But I guess that's just showing my age.

They always made very good TVs, tube, plasma, LCD.

But I guess that's just showing my age.

Its also showing when they were last one of the biggest consumer electronics manufacturers.

I thought Panasonic makes those infrared ovens still. They’re still around!

Their Inverter microwaves are still the best working micros around.

Those are the best, though I wish they’d improve the controls.

Plasma TV's while desired were not popular. I'm still using mine, but I was the only one who had one.
