5.0 out of 5 stars Better than your ordinary TV!, February 15, 2011
This review is from: Sony NSX-40GT1 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV Featuring Google TV, Black (Electronics)
This TV is great! There are some mixed reviews out on the internet about this TV but the reality is there's no other TV that can do the things this one can, Period. There are some limitations to what the TV can do and some down side to the actual specifications of the TV but the positives out way the negatives by a lot. I will start with the negatives:

The first major negative for me is that the TV is only 60 Hz. While this is lower than most TV's out there this size, you can hardly notice a difference. There is also a good reason why this TV is slower than others and that's because this TV needs a very specific processor in order to do what it was made to do. Because of the slower processor speed the TV is not very good for playing video games online but can still work fine for games in regular story mode (Offline). The second major negative about this TV is the fact that some websites block the TV from gaining access to their site. Most of the websites that do this are working on special deals or have already made deals with Sony or Google and only a few websites actually block the TV. (One of them being Hulu...) The third negative for me was that fact that this TV uses an Audio Optical Cable out in order to hook up surround sound which meant I needed to buy a new receiver because my old one did not have an Audio Optical Cable IN.

Now for the positive features of this product: The first major positive feature of this TV is the fact that it self updates, meaning every so often new software is available that makes it better or easier to use. As of right now each Google TV product should be running Android Honeycomb 3.1 or higher. With The newest software update you have full access to Apps, Widgets, and every feature Android tablets are capable of doing (Except a touch screen) all on your large screen TV. The second major positive feature is Internet access on its own or at the same time you're watching TV! There is no other TV on the market that has a full Internet browser! The third major positive feature is instant movie rentals or streaming on your TV. No longer do you need to watch Netflix, Amazon, or Blockbuster movies (or any other streaming service) on you laptop / desktop or third party device like a PS3, you can just watch it on your TV. The fourth is HD upscale; this TV can upscale a picture or movie that is being displayed in a lower resolution to 1080, which is nice if you have a bunch of standard definition DVD's at home that you like to watch. Another cool feature that I have not tested out myself but have heard about is a TV web cam (If anyone has tried this please leave a comment bellow letting me know how it works.)

Some of the other features about this TV worth mentioning are a universal remote that is fun and easy to use. Note: the mouse on the remote isn't the best but it's not the primary source of maneuvering around on this product. The TV also has multiple USB ports, remote streaming from your phone or computer and an application that turns your smart phone into a remote control! One of the coolest features I like about the TV is Google itself. I use a lot of the features Google offers online like, Google Docs, the calendar, and chat (have not tried video), along with Facebook/Google+ and other websites that I can access right on the TV. This is a Great TV and is worth checking out for yourself!

*If you think you want to try the Google TV out but don't want to pay all the money for a new TV you might want to check out the Sony NSZ-GT1 Wi-Fi-Enabled 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Featuring Google TV! Its a blu-ray and all of the features of the TV in a nice looking box that cost around 0.00. I Also have one of these hooked up to a Samsung plasma in my living room and it rocks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent device, with a few flaws..., March 6, 2011
By

This review is from: Sony NSX-40GT1 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV Featuring Google TV, Black (Electronics)
I wanted a TV for gaming and video-on-demand (particularly Amazon). I haven't had cable TV in years and get all my media from the internet, so the idea of having a non-internet-connected TV seemed ludicrous.

When I began researching TVs I was astonished to find there are basically no televisions that have WiFi and full internet connectivity. And even the XBox 360 I'm buying is crippled by Microsoft so that web browsing is difficult or impossible.

I really like the form-factor of the remote. I considered the Logitech GoogleTV offering but their mini-keyboard approach seemed inferior compared to Sony's game-controller-style remote. My major problem at the moment is the optical trackpad / thumbpad DOES NOT WORK! When I click it the cursor appears, and occasionally it will respond and move across the screen, but 9 times out of 10 it is completely unresponsive. All the other keys work flawlessly so it doesn't seem to be a signal problem. Perhaps the remote is defective, but I sure don't want to return this TV just to get a functioning remote. Current workaround is plugging in a wireless USB mouse which works perfectly but is inconvenient.

Setup was easy; however, the mounting brackets on the TV did not slide fully onto the stand, preventing me from putting in the mounting screws. No amount of force/jiggling would allow it to slide fully on, but it's on well enough to stay.

Documentation is sparse and I had to search the web to figure out how to add/delete bookmarks and the like. Still if you can get around an Android phone you should have no problem with this TV; it is essentially an Android device with a very large screen and a custom UI.

I would say if you have a decent TV already, go with the Logitech box (or the Sony one if you happen to want a BluRay player). But if you're upgrading to a new screen and are happy with the 40" (or 46") screen size this unit is a good way to go. Part of the reason I didn't want a separate box is that I expect Android/GoogleTV will be built into most televisions within a couple of years...if consumers get to choose between a dumb standalone box or a WiFi-connected fully internet-ready device, which do you think they'll pick?

5.0 out of 5 stars you put your tv in my computer...your computer is in my tv, December 7, 2010
This review is from: Sony NSX-40GT1 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV Featuring Google TV, Black (Electronics)
We have been waiting years for just the right tv. I bought this sony googletv to replace my 20" sony tube tv (yep you heard me right 20") that I bought 14 years ago and was still going strong. So I dont have much to compare with as far as picture quality or sound or internet. I was blown away by the picture (when I finally got it hooked up) and the sound is nothing short of amazing when hooked up through my receiver. I actually heard lines in movies I have never heard before. Only complaint you cant watch hulu or some online shows through the network website. Closed Caption does not work through tv must set up with your cable box instead. Love the picture in picture. Beautiful people arent as beautiful in HD.
