The older '90's problably where more relaible.
My granfather had an 1995 U.K. assambled "Panasonic" that worked up untill around 2010. He gave it away without teeling me.  The set didn't had a problem in it's entire life and it was regullary used. |
Yeah, the MCZ chip. I made a ton of money with those.
The problem though is that counterfeit MCZ chips hit the market so we had to buy directly from Sony or Hitachi (who used them as well).
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.
