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 40GT1 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?

Like many consumers, I like to read reviews on a product before purchasing it to get an idea of what Im getting my self into. After reviewing the pros and cons I decided to buy the Sony Google TV from Vanns and let me tell you, its an amazing TV. The sleek, thin design is great for mounting on a wall, without the worry of it being too bulky. The sound and picture quality are top notch, as expected from a major mogul like Sony. The usage of internet and a variety of apps is incredible as it completely redefines the TV viewing experience. It combines both a computer and a television together, making it even more bang for your buck! Other reviews suggest difficulty with the multifunctional controller, however after a few uses you get the hang of things. The controller provides two great ways of browsing. The first is by scrolling, and the second is through the use of a built in mouse. The one flaw of the remote is the inability of use in the dark. Lighting in the keyboard would significantly improve the already amazing product. I say definelty Go For It!

I wish I could have reviewed the product but each time the product was sent to me, UPS had damaged the TV. I did go to a big box retail store wont name names and checked the pricing there and it was over $150 more there plus tax so using Vanns.com is definitly the way to go. When I tested out the unit at the store i noticed the refresh rate was only 60 htz so this caused the sports show to not be a clear as the Samsung next to it. The web browser was great but the remote was kinda different. i loved that it had the full keyboard but simple channel changes were difficult if you were ever in a low light situation as I dont recall seeing any backlighting for the buttons.

We are trying to avoid cablesatilite bills by using antenna and internet. My kids play internet games at PBSkids.org, Mulitmplication.com, starfall.com and with a mouse attached to the NSX40GT1 its a breeze. As a musician, I love the pandora app. for personallized radio. We also watch classic tv shows on youtube and it would be great for Nexflix if we ever go that route. We also watch espn.com although it can be a bit jumpy - related to inernet service i believe. Initially there were problems, but the self updates eventually debugged them. Not much of a users manual, however, its possible to go online for geeky details when needed.
