Japanese-designed TV has fallen way behind South Korea (LG, Samsung) on quality and features, and Chinese brands on price.

It's too bad. Sony and Panasonic used to be fountains of innovation when it came to TV tech.

Sony TVs are still really solid imo

Sony partnered with/sold their TV division to TCL as well.
Strange for this news to come so soon after that.
