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 VT65B models are this generation's regional version of the VT60 family. Full HD active-shutter 3D, with two sets of Bluetooth eyewear supplied. Marketed 3000 Hz Focused Field Drive is not entered as native refresh.
