Storm weather April 2009

The wild weather hit us in Melbourne’s south east on Wednesday 15, April 2009.
We lost power when the neighbours tree brought down the lines.

The tree that came down next door, lucky it fell away from us!
Did I say we lost power?…not all of it, we had some power. The lights were pretty dim and many electrical appliances dropped out.

Meet Chester

He is supposed to be a dwarf rabbit, hmm…not sure about that?

FW: Panasonic model numbers + info

 

To decode the Pana model numbers:
PA= sd ; PV= hd ; PX= hd+digital tuner
5= 8th gen panel ; 6= 9th gen panel
0= standard sound & no SD slot ; 00= better sound + SD slot.

So the 60A has standard sound, no SD slot, but a later gen panel.
If you want to know the differences between 8th & 9th gen panels read on Pana websites.

Q

I am a little confused as the Panasonic site says "1080p Digital Re-mastering Processor - This processor up-converts a variety of video signals, such as those from analogue broadcasts and DVD movies, to provide a level of image quality the approaches full-HD. "

Also the ...60A (HD) , I assume the (HD) means hi def. If it only "approaches" then is it a true hi def unit??

The blurb you've quoted refers to the set's abilities in scaling an SD signal for display, supposedly producing an image approaching HD quality.

With regard to HD video, both 720p (which the 42PV60A can natively display) and 1080i/p (which it can't) are both valid high definition video standards. "Full HD" is a term that is in common use as a synonym for 1920x1080 video, but AFAIK it has no formal standing as such.

As the 42PV60A can be fed and fully resolve 720p video, it can correctly be labelled as an HD display.
