Panel detailPanasonic's UK TX-P42G10B, TX-P46G10B and TX-P50G10B manual specifies native Full HD NeoPDP plasma panels. Its 600 Hz sub-field drive branding does not establish the native image refresh rate, which is left unpublished here.UK PX60B sizes have different native matrices; 37-inch 1024 × 720, 42-inch 1024 × 768 and 50-inch 1366 × 768.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.

Picture processingNeoPDP panel with Panasonic Intelligent Frame Creation, colour management and 3D-COMB. The UK set's user menus do not expose white-balance or gamma controls, unlike the European G10E according to HDTVTest.V-Real processing (both exact reviews); maker menu includes P-NR noise reduction, colour management, 3D-COMB and C.A.T.S. automatic ambient-light adjustment.
Picture modesDynamic, Normal, Cinema and Game, with separate picture-mode settings and an Eco ambient-light option within each mode.Dynamic, Normal, Cinema and Auto.
Motion handlingHDTVTest identifies a 600 Hz sub-field drive for the NeoPDP panel; this is a drive technique, not the native frame refresh. It found good motion clarity with Intelligent Frame Creation off and no telecine judder from 1080p/24 HDMI input.Native panel refresh not published in the read maker manuals and omitted. Input scanning frequencies and 50/60 Hz mains ratings are not native panel refresh. Both reviews describe some judder in horizontal pans.
