Display
Panel
Panel	LED LCD	Plasma
Panel detail
Panel detail	Panasonic specifies LED LCD with Local Dimming Pro. AVForums identified a VA panel and 18 direct-lit dimming zones on its 55-inch sample; these findings are not claimed for every size.	UK PX60B sizes have different native matrices; 37-inch 1024 × 720, 42-inch 1024 × 768 and 50-inch 1366 × 768. Pixel counts are distinct from accepted HD signal formats. TechRadar incorrectly prints 1024 × 720 for its 42-inch review; the exact maker manual is followed. PV60 regional models are distinct; the European PV60E manual lists analogue reception rather than UK PX60B DVB, so its tuner and power figures are not borrowed.
