- 178 -● An image on a LCD or Plasma TV screen is created by many small groupsof dots known as pixels (which is similar to the image in a newspaper). Italso naturally follows that higher panel resolutions contain more pixels.To create a colour image, each pixel consists of three tiny coloureddots (known as sub-pixels), one each of red, green and blue. Eachone of these dots is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV toproduce the picture. Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standardsin manufacturing technology and processes in the construction of thesepanels, there are a number of allowable pixel/subpixel failures thatstill allow the panel to be defined as a good panel. It is not possible toguarantee absolutely no pixel loss.Shop appears on screen at switch on● Shop was selected in first time Auto Tuning when the TV is turned on forthe first time.

Outside this area, separateVHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance.
