Panasonic will no longer produce its own TVs in Europe

Your next Panasonic TV will not be produced by Panasonic itself. Well, at least not entirely.

The internal announcement to the employee earlier this week stated that the company would divert TV production from its factory in the Czech Republic to an external company that has not been issued.

A Panasonic spokesman confirmed the news in a statement to Techradar and said that while TV production would move to another place, “R & D in Japan and Europe (Langen, Germany) will continue to develop and develop the quality of the leading images that you have experienced from we.”

The reason for Shift, according to Panasonic, is to “make our TV business profitable on a global scale and based on Europe” and said that this step is similar to those made by other TV makers in the industry in the past few years.

Analysis: Maybe you will see the difference … and maybe you won’t

We will not know how many moves to external manufacturers will affect the quality of the TV until the lineup next year is launched, but the decision is not worthy of losing sleep.

In fact, a number of other companies already have a source panel from other makers – Sony and Samsung bought the OLED panel from the LG screen, for example – and they still managed to put their own touches to make the TV look and feel different from each other.

That said, Panasonic has been responsible for making some of the best OLED TVs consistently years-ended, and turning off the factory can have consequences on TV performance in the future, even if there is no difference.

Fortunately, the promise of Panasonic to keep the Operational R & D division means we will continue to see the innovation of the brand – and if the innovation is now coming at a lower price thanks to the outsourcing panel, Win, it’s win-win for everyone.

However, for people in the US, no one will make a lot of differences because the brand still has not returned to the country after his departure in 2016.
