This review is from: Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV (Electronics) The Roku has a nice user experience and it also deserve 5 stars-- and if you are looking for the cheapest device that can just play Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon VOD, Crackle, and similar very well, then your best option is a Roku or maybe a BD player. But if you want more, you'll have to start dealing with tradeoffs. For the Google TV, the tradeoffs are 1) that you can't get some content, such as that from Hulu Plus or NBC (although you can through Playon)-- and 2) the Amazon VOD experience is poor (although the movies play back nicely). (The Google TV has one of the best Netflix experiences, and Crackle's website experience is okay).But the Google TV can do lots of things the Roku can't, such as 1) play videos and flash from some websites such as Syfy or adult websites, 2) use it as an Apple Airplay device (using the Airtight app), 3) play mpeg-2 videos such as from a HDHomeRun, MythTv, ripped DVDs (for those who don't want to take the time and cpus to convert to h.264)...

This review is from: Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV (Electronics) Instead of spending much time assessing the Google TV operating system, which I've used via the Logitech Revue for over a year, I'm going to detail why this Sony effort is SO MUCH better than the Logitech effort. Hopefully, it will help sway consumers who are on the fence about buying the Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV (SGTV) or like me, decided to give it a shot and UPGRADE (yes, upgrade) from the Logitech Revue.First, the physical details: the Sony GTV unit itself feels about 50% smaller. What's nicely done is that the power cable doesn't have a power adapter so it's one less thing to deal with in the AV cabinet. As for the unit, it has all of the standard ports, including digital optical, ethernet, wifi, IR blaster, a couple USB ports, AND most notably the HDMI in and out. You're thinking: so what, the Revue has HDMI in and out, to which I can only answer YES and NO (more on this later....). Also, it's reported that the processor is a 1.2 GHz dual core...

Chrome works great as do sites with flash. The App selection is bountiful but awkward when trying to just browse as you are required to click each one to get a description of what it does. The main reason for me buying this was for the web browser capabilities; I never anticipated so much content and diversity. I am addicted to the Redux app.The remote is great too. It makes a great universal remote for the rest of my entertainment center. |
