Sony NSX-24GT1 Internet TV with Google TV

Sony NSX-24GT1 Features Review

Sony's Internet TV allows you to watch TV, use Andriod Apps and Surf the Web all at the same time from the comfort of your living room sofa. The NSX series adds plenty of internet functionality to the proven Bravia LED TV platform.
Most internet connected TVs give you access to a few apps or games as well as streaming content but don't have web search or browsing built into the TV. Sony's Internet TVs are powered by Google TV and use the Andriod platform with the Chrome browser built in and an Intel Atom processor. The models feature Sony’s premium streaming service "Video On Demand powered by Qriocity" as well as pre-installed apps including CNBC, Napster, NBA, Netflix streaming movies and TV shows, Pandora internet radio, Twitter, and YouTube.
The remote features a full QWERTY keyboard for easy text entry as well as an optical mouse for easy access to web pages and the interface. Sony's Internet TV operating system can download upgrades automatically so the TV can stay current long into the future. Built-in WiFi makes connecting this TV to your home network simple and painless.
These Sony Internet TVs are the most advanced internet connected TVs we have seen yet, combining the power of Google TV and full web search/surfing capability into a sleek, well designed package.
