| Panel detail | UK NeoPlasma Black 3000 series with 42 and 50-inch panels and active-shutter 3D. The advertised 3000 Hz subfield drive is not a native refresh rate. | 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. |
