•An image on a TV screen is created by many small groups of dots known as pixels (which is similar to the image in a newspaper). It also naturally follows that higher panel resolutions contain more pixels. To create a colour image, each pixel consists of three tiny coloured dots (known as sub-pixels), one each of red, green and blue. 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 / subpixel failures that still allow the panel to be defined as a good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.

Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
First, remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
■ Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to remove dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
(1) First clean the dust from the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent
(1 part detergent to 100 parts water).
(3) Wring out the cloth firmly. (Please note, do not let liquid enter the TV inside as it may lead to product failure.)
(4) Carefully wipe moisten and wipe away the stubborn dirt.
(5) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
= Caution =
- Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
•Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint. - The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
- Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
■ Mains plug
- Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
