The editors liked
Much better performance than previous models
Full featured remote with backlit keys
Easy set up
Lots of media codecs
There are hints of great and friendly tech in the NSZ-GS7. Startup is near instant
And it doesn't take many taps to get to a live-updating list of TV shows to watch
Free movies to stream (Netflix
Amazon VoD
And the rest of the familiar cast)
And list
The Sony NSZ-GS7 has a vastly improved
Double-sided remote for Google TV
With a large touch pad and a full keyboard. It's a small
Stylish box and the only current set-top box that supports Google TV
Well-designed remote. Plenty of functionality. Lots of online services and apps.
Doublesided controller has a clickable touchpad and can function as a universal remote. Quick startup. Ports galore
Including Ethernet
Two USB
Digital optical out
HDMI in and out
And an IR blaster. Will play content from external drives
Faster
More responsive interface
Hardware is simple and ports are well placed
Awesome universal search functionality
The editors didn't like
A good bit of Internet content is still blocked from Google TV users
No easy way to play purchased Google Play movies
At $299
It's more expensive than many other options
That full-feature remote has a confusing layout
For every graceful HBO moment
There were a dozen to the contrary
A channel that wouldn't load
A command that wasn't recognized
Or an inexplicable green screen of nothing. Maybe it was my cable box
Maybe it was my receiver—but that's beside the point
The Google TV software continues to disappoint. There aren't dedicated apps for major streaming services like Amazon Instant
Hulu Plus
And MLB.TV
Nor is Google's own movie rental service supported. Major content providers like ABC
CBS
NBC
Fox
Comed
Not as polished or intuitive as other media hubs. Finding good apps requires combing through many not-so-great ones
There are better streaming boxes for less than half the price. Web browsing on a TV is still not fun. Glitchy software means that Google TV is still not ready for prime time

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...
Abstract: To see if so-called Google TV 2.0 is worthy of another try, we decided to put one of the newest devices - Sony's NSZ-GS7 streaming media player - to the test. But just as we were about to finalize testing, we also got our hands on Vizio's new Co-Star, whi...

If you're a Google TV fan, it's time to upgrade to newer hardware. Do it for the video quality, do it for the games, do it for better browsing. Not much else has changed, as Google TV still seems to be just a hair short of being fabulous. If you're not a...

We started with the conclusion, but we feel the redundant need to be redundant and reinforce our summary.Google TV is an amazing concept. Sony’s Internet TV products including the NSZ-GS7 are the best Google TV products available on the market. The pro...

No. Someday, someone—probably Apple, as boring as that is to admit—will probably pull off the next great leap in television. A television that makes it as easy as possible to find and watch things, to sit and be entertained, that knows and loves both the...

The Sony NSZ-GS7 has sleek hardware and an innovative remote, but it's hampered by the still too-limited and frustrating Google TV software.
