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
  • Google TV needs more content
  • App selection is lacking
  • Device gets really hot

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Contrôleur fantastique, Finition
  • Android TV castrée, Trop peu d'applications
  • Après s'être fermement implanté dans le marché des téléphones portables avec son système d'exploitation Android, Google veut désormais tenter la même expérience en s'attaquant à la télévision, avec notamment ce boîtier Sony NSZ-GS7. Mais ce n'est pas si s...

  • Télécommande complète et bien pensée, Google Play Store présent, Entrée HDMI pour afficher n'importe quelle source
  • Peu d'applications présentes, même celles de Google sont absentes, Support multimédia, Lecture de fichiers multimédias par le réseau pas vraiment possible
  • L’idée de transposer l’expérience Android sur téléviseur est toujours aussi alléchante. Néanmoins, la plateforme est encore très immature, en atteste un marché d’applications creux et un support des fichiers multimédias réduit à sa plus simple expressi...

  • Moderater Preis, Durchdachte QWERTZFernbedienung
  • Nur InternetTV, Nur sehr wenige Apps kompatibel, DLNA erst mit Zusatzsoftware nutzbar
  • Praxistest Das Einbinden der Sony-Box ins heimische Media-Center beschränkt sich darauf , die Box per HDMI mit dem Fernseher und – sofern vorhanden – mit dem TV-Receiver zu verbinden. Ein Setup-Wizard fragt danach alle relevanten Parameter ab. Die mitgeli...

  • Unsere Bilanz zur Sony NSZ-GS7 fällt positiv aus. Kleinere Unzulänglichkeiten sollten nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass es sich um ein hervorragendes Konzept handelt, das in verschiedenen Punkten (Usability, Chrome Browser, Fernbedienung) hinlänglich ...

  • Abstract:  Erst Smartphone, dann Tablet-PC und jetzt der Fernseher: Sony bringt mit der NSZ-GS7 die erste Google-TV -Box auf den deutschen Markt und will damit das Wohnzimmer erobern. Das ist eine klare Kampfansage an den Multimedia-Player Apple TV....
