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.	Panasonic's UK TX-P60ZT65B energy fiche confirms 60-inch Full HD. The marketed 3000 Hz Focused Field Drive is sub-field operation, not a published native image refresh rate.
