If you want to know what year your Panasonic TV is, I’ll tell you about it now. Panasonic and other companies had problems with TV sales; several factors contributed to this. The main element is the growth in sales of Chinese companies that offered televisions at a lower price. Also, the fact that Panasonic had been a long-time supporter of plasma technology. If companies like Samsung stopped plasma TV production in 2010, continuing to produce only single models till the stock ran out, Panasonic mass-produced plasma TVs till 2014. Because of this policy, sales in the U.S. dropped a lot; Panasonic stopped selling TVs in the U.S. in 2014, keeping the Canadian, Mexican, and Latin American markets. But Panasonic eventually stopped selling TVs in the Americas completely starting in 2020.
You should know that Panasonic has a basic TV model, such as the JX980. There are JX982B, JX985C, and modifications made for different markets. So if your TV model is JX987 in the table, you will find the JX980 model that will be your TV model.
