Analogue and Digital television - what are they?
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television programmes. With continuous improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The first two options require you to have an extra 'set top box' decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors.
While allowing you to receive traditional analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an integrated (Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television without the need for a 'set top box' or satellite dish - a good quality roof mounted antenna should be all you need.

Pixel Statement (LCD)
An image on an LCD panel is created by many dots known as pixels. The more pixels on the panel, the more detailed image can be displayed. To create a colour image each pixel is made up of three tiny coloured dots (1 each of red, green and blue). This gives a total far in excess of one million individual dots manufactured into the panel. Each one of these dots is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.
Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing technology and processes in the construction of these panels, there are a number of allowable Pixel/Dot failures that would still allow the panel to be defined as a good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.
