Reach every corner of the internet from your Blu-ray player
Sony's NSZGT1 Blu-ray player with Google TV gives you the keys to the entire internet. You may have noticed lots of entertainment devices on the market lately with built-in ethernet or Wi-Fi connections. They connect you to a popular set of online content providers, like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, YouTube, and more. It's great for streaming content from those specific sites. But what if, while you're watching your favorite TV show with your friend/husband/wife/roommate/kid/etc, you have an argument over whether the starring actor ever made an appearance in that other show with that other guy and that famous girl. You know, the one where they live in New York? Yeah. Well, with the NSZGT1, you can bring up the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com, for those of you unfamiliar with the site), and search for the actor online while you're still watching your TV show! While you're at it, let's say you see a commercial for that thing you've been meaning to get for your sister's birthday. Cruise on over to the store's web site and purchase one instantly, so you can cross that off your to-do list. The NSZGT1 Blu-ray player is powered by Google TV, a new service from Google that lets you search the entire web from your TV while you're watching cable, satellite, or over-the-air programs. It's the ultimate combination of content. Worried about navigating the 'net using a tiny DVD remote? Don't be. The included remote is more like a sleek, miniature keyboard complete with a QWERTY key arrangement. It even has a mouse controller built into the upper corner. Scrolling, clicking, typing, and highlighting are so easy. Finally, an entertainment option that throws the door wide open.
Plus it's a Blu-ray player
Let's not forget that you can also watch Blu-ray discs on the NSZGT1. In the movie world, "picture quality" depends, largely, on the budget you throw at a film. In the digital world, picture quality depends on bit rates. For example, DVDs can deliver 10 Mbps. HDTV broadcasts can reach 19 Mbps. But Blu-ray Disc outshines them all with up to 48 Mbps! Quite simply, Blu-ray is the best home video source. Ever. At the same time, it provides seriously sweet surround sound. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and options for up to 32 streams of audio, the NSZGT1 is an amazing experience for your ears. Blu-ray Disc can deliver concert videos and music videos that will make you want to get up on stage and sing with the performers. To put it in other terms, Blu-ray is like "Gone With the Wind," "West Side Story," "The Godfather," "Forrest Gump," "Titanic," and "Gladiator" all rolled together into one visually captivating, auditorily enthralling feast for the senses.
But back to the internet
With the built-in Google TV platform, you already know you can access the entire internet from your Blu-ray player. Think for just a moment about that. If you're the type of person who mostly uses a computer to surf the web . . . do you really need a computer? The NSZGT1 is basically a computer in itself, with an Intel processor, built-in Wi-Fi, the Google TV Operating System that automatically upgrades, and an intuitive handheld keypad. You can even download apps from the Andriod Market to personalize your experience. If you have an iPhone or Android phone, you've got an extra controller with added functionality. Search content with voice navigation or share web content between your phone and your TV. The power of sharing and mobility collide in one awesome product.
