  • Overall, Sony has produced a powerful, well-equipped internet-enabled media player here, and the applications dedicated to the Google TV OS are slicker than a Brylcreemed ferret. But the fact is Google TV’s open internet still looks pretty barren when...

  • Nice UI, easy to setup, responsive
  • Lack of apps, other cheaper options do more and better

  • The Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV is a nice package with a good interface and innovative remote. The price is a little high considering there's no TV tuner and a lack of apps. Its Chrome browser brings many benefits such as accessing almost any TV service you...

  • The idea of having Google TV is an attractive one. Still, this is not as modern an idea as in the beginning. The Xbox 360 wins major points, because it boats a lot of applications. And there's the possibility to open live TV. In the end, we can't really ...

  • On first impressions, the Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV box itself fits in well with Sony's design theme, so it'll match any other Sony AV kit nicely. The remote is extremely impressive, as the designers have clearly had to cram a hell of a lot of functions into...

  • The Sony Internet Player With Google TV (NSZ-GS7) is one of the better ways to get Google TV on your HDTV, even if the platform itself still suffers from a lack of polish....

  • Abstract:  Better Picture Quality and Performance I tested a number of videos on my 46-inch Samsung 6100 Series LCD and saw that the Sony handled each better than other media streaming devices, including the Vizio Co-Star. These videos were streamed from the same so...
