It also naturallyfollows that higher panel resolutions contain morepixels. To create a colour image, each pixel consistsof three tiny coloured dots (known as sub-pixels), oneeach of red, green and blue. Each one of these dotsis precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV toproduce the picture.Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standardsin manufacturing technology and processes in theconstruction of these panels, there are a number ofallowable pixel/sub-pixel failures that still allow thepanel to be defined as a good panel. It is not possible toguarantee absolutely no pixel loss.●Problem ActionsChaotic image, noisy Change the setting of “P-NR” in the Picture Menu (to removenoise).
