Panel detailUK 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 ST60B exact maker manual lists 42, 50 and 55 inches. Full HD active-shutter 3D. Continental European and US 65-inch ST60 models are regional variants, not a verified UK configuration. Advertised 2500 Hz Focused Field Drive is a driving measure, not the native panel refresh rate; native Hz is omitted.
