Found this article in the business section talking about Panasonic's focus to more of a balance between consumer and B2B. If you get the subscription nag screen, just refresh and stop the page load partway through, enjoy!

Is this a company being sensible and doing an IBM? Or is it a company that cannot identify its shortcomings in one market (TVs) and looking for the path of least resistance?

I just hope they continue to support the home theater market. Their last projector is now 2.5 years old. They seem to be the only company that puts in lens memory under $5,000 which is a must have feature for me.

Interesting... Wonder what they'll bring to the market next...

They may very well never bring another HT projector to market.

Here in Brazil they´re more in to selling refrigerators and clothes washing machines than to come back to home entertainment business. Even their bluray players have been gone from the market. Now just selling midrange LCD sets with questionable image quality (I do not know who´s making their panels), leaving this market share for Sony (maybe pulling out of this business, too), Samsung and LG. Not a very promising future.

Sad to see Panasonic in the shape its in regaurding the A/V buisness. Their recievers and Plasma sets were top notch in my book. They were supposed to be partnering with Sony for OLED production but who knows if that will even will happen because Sony seems to be concentrating more on 4K then anything else. If Panasonic exits the A/V side of things it will come as no surprise but again its very sad in my opinion. Time will tell if Sony follows the same road.
