Panel detail
Panel detail	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.	UK TH-37PX70B has 1024 × 720 native pixels, TH-42PX70B has 1024 × 768 and TH-50PX70B has 1366 × 768. The accepted 1080p signal is scaled to the panel. Neither the maker's listed PC scanning frequencies nor mains frequency establish native panel refresh.
