We were impressed with last year's NeoPDP panel in the G10 plasmas and the new series offers improved picture with even deeper black levels. The G25 plasmas are THX Certified displays and offer the THX Movie Mode feature that will set your TV for optimum color and contrast when watching your favorite movies.

While they are concentrating on still delivering superior black levels than LCD TVs, they have improved the glare reflection substantially over the past two years.
