Your search is over
We've all seen it before: promises of Internet from your HDTV dashed when you find that you're limited to only a slim selection of the vast content available. A quick search online for an Internet TV will show millions of possible results, ranging from the limited to the complicated. Thank goodness Google and Sony have teamed up, utilizing the new Google TV system to create a truly integrated web and TV experience. With Google TV you'll be feeling lucky because you don't just get access to limited portions of the web, you get access to all of it. From the comfort of your living room sofa, you can view and interact with your favorite blogs, e-mail, social networking sites, and video sites. We would be more specific, but with something as limitless as the web, even describing it in general terms could take awhile. Plus, Internet and TV don’t just live in harmony within your HDTV, they work together with picture in picture capabilities so you can be surfing the web in one window while your movie or television show plays in another.
Your search has just begun
Google is one of the leading search engines available, and they bring that search power to your television. Not only can you search through online content with the Sony Google TV, you can also search through TV guides to find shows you want to watch. With hundreds upon thousands of television channels available (depending on your area) finding when your favorite show is going to be airing is no small feat. With Google TV, it will not only find when it's on, it can also find extra online resources for you (miss an episode and need a recap? Have a burning theory you need to share? Want to know what your favorite actors are up to?). Plus, DISH subscribers can use Google TV to search through movies, music, and other content saved to their DVR.
Let's talk TV
The Sony Google TV is not just an incredible fusion of HDTV and Internet; it's also an incredibly good-looking TV on its own. With a bright, edge-lit full HD 1080p LED screen, the 32GT1 boasts deep darks and striking highlights, while 24p input makes sure that your movies look smooth and natural. The stylish, slim design can be placed on a TV stand, or easily mounted on your wall. Four HDMI inputs make sure that you can connect all your favorite devices.
No fret, no frown
With so many incredible features, some people may be looking for the strings. Well, with Wi-Fi capability, we can say you won't be seeing any when you go to connect to your existing home network. Plus, the RF keypad remote means you won't be having to wire a mouse and keyboard to your HDTV to get full control over its expansive capabilities, a keyboard and touchpad mouse built into the small, comfortably-handheld remote give you all the control you need. Oh, and did we mention you can also download an app to your Android or iPhone smartphone that allows it to act as a controller for your Sony Google TV?

First of all the TV itself has an outstanding picture quality and great features. What a huge improvement over my old 20 inch RCA tube set! The Sony Google TV came out of the box lobotomized. Only TV functionality was present before it was successfully connected to the internet and the Android software updated. I could not even set the wake up alarm initially as this feature was disabled! The printed instructions which came with the TV were pretty terrible as well. Only with the help of my computer was I finally able to get the Google account setup, etc. Once the software was updated, it was very difficult indeed to get the TV functional again, as the satellite TV input is connected through the analog RF input on the back of the TV in my installation. So far, the only killer app for the Google TV is Pandora, which is awesome. The other apps, such as Netflix, require a paid subscription.

Its an ok TV if you only watch cable or play video games. I use my Galaxy S2 to watch movies with soetimes and this sony does not recognize it. I wish they would fix it but oh well not the worst of things that could be wrong. Also I have had to restart it once in the 2 weeks that I have owned because it would not recognize my XBOX 360. Weird.....Lets see how it goes from here.

This is a great set. Will take you some time to get to know the unit but once you do it is just awesome. I cant say enough good things about this set. Great picture, ability to browse the internet, apps that it has, etc. I wish the speakers had a little more kick but you just have to turn it up a little louder to hear the crystal clear sound.
