Panasonic TV model number decode, explained 2011-2024

What you need to know about Panasonic brand televisions. The Panasonic brand belongs to the Japanese corporation Panasonic. In 2021, it was announced that the corporation’s structure would change; in 2022, Panasonic would be transformed into a holding company. Separate companies will be involved in the production and service of certain products. For example, audio-video products will be handled by Panasonic Entertainment & Communication Co. (PEAC) Osaka. Japan. This company will develop, manufacture, and sell consumer electronics such as audio and video products, digital cameras, headphones, intercoms, and telephones. This is likely due to changes in the global markets and Panasonic’s response to increased competition.

What does the name Panasonic Viera mean?

When the era of CRT TVs ended and the era of flat panel TVs began, and Panasonic was one of the leaders in the production of plasma TVs, Panasonic marketers came up with a slogan about the beginning of a new era (Visual Era). From this phrase came the name of the Panasonic Viera TV. The new flat-screen TVs added the word Viera to the name. This happened in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, the name has become familiar to most buyers, the name of Panasonic Viera TVs has survived to the present day and has become a slogan for the TVs of this company.

Types of Panasonic TV model numbers

Panasonic TVs have fairly simple markings that contain information about the type of TV screen, the year of first production, and information about the region for which the TV is made.

The new model number format from 2024 is TV-65Z95AEB. There are also two types of model numbers for TVs manufactured from 2014 to 2023, (TX-55EZ952B , TX-65EZB900), the model code format differs depending on the region of sale. The difference lies in the location of the letter denoting the year of manufacture. In addition, the TV models have differences depending on the region, this applies both to technical differences, such as the standard of the digital tuner, and support for certain broadcasting systems, for example, in Ireland and the UK. Thus, TVs are or were manufactured for the following regions.

• Europe (does not include the UK and Ireland)
• UK and Ireland
• CIS
• North America until 2019.
• Latin America until 2021
• Asia
• Oceania
• Middle East
• Africa

As of 2014, Panasonic stopped selling televisions in the United States. In 2019, Panasonic stopped selling televisions in Canada. From time to time there is information about resuming sales in the US market, but as of 2024, resumption of sales in the US has not happened and will not happen. In 2020, the company announced plans to completely stop selling TVs in North America and Latin America. Also in the same year, it announced that it would stop selling TVs in Australia. Low demand for TVs made this area unprofitable.
