A dirty little secret is that year in and year out, Panasonic made a more reliable TV than Sony. Sony had some great chassis but always seemed to make a clunker here and there, but I can't recall Panny ever making a clunker.

Place I worked for sold Sony, only TV-Appliance dealer selling Sony in a "city" of 75,000. Without much fanfare, they began selling Panasonic in '85. Just before the GE buying RCA debacle and selling both of those as well through the Thomsen Era.

I have to agree, even the GE PC (?) was proof Panny could improve all things SS, after doing it for Quasar a decade before much as I like Motorola SS, they could be a bear sometimes
