Any news as to when we may get a review on these new Panasonics please?

Not demanding at all...

Mkay...

Well cheers, and my apologies for being so appallingly demanding...

Question was inspired by something i read somewhere. Aparently it was wrong.

Well, it tells you the number of pixels, and I guess by working out the size of the screen and dividing by the number of pixels you'd be able to work out their size.

But on a Saturday afternoon, I'll think I'll give it a miss...

1366x 768? This is the resolution format you see written in pc monitor specs. is this the one which tells you the size of the pixels?
