#1 in GIF Sony TVs
Released October, 2010
Rated 65% by by c|net (Nov, 2010)HD streams from Amazon and Netflix via Ethernet looked great, SD streams less-so, and most Internet video sites looked bad blown up on the 46-inch screen.

Rated 65% by by c|net (Nov, 2010)We were disappointed that Google TV's Netflix still has the first-gen interface we saw on the original Roku Netflix Player.

NSX Series by johnnycab (Mar, 2011)But if you're upgrading to a new screen and are happy with the 40" (or 46") screen size this unit is a good way to go.
NSX Series by bsmpm (Jul, 2012)It's cool to be able to adjust the screen to which ever side of the tv you want when it's picture and picture plus adjust the size of the screen.
thickness
NSX Series by c|net (Nov, 2010)Sony's unique metal stand may look precarious but supported our thin, 46-inch review sample well enough.
Performance Real world tests of Sony NSX Series
power consumption
NSX Series by c|net (Nov, 2010)Power consumption: We did not test the power consumption of this size in the Sony NSX-GT1 series, but we did test the 46-inch model.
NSX Series by c|net (Nov, 2010)Power consumption: While certainly no power hog, the GT1 can't reach the power miserliness of standard (non-Google) LED TVs like the EX700 and C6500, and is even slightly less-efficient than non-LED LCD models.

Apps
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 40% by by JL--J (Jan, 2012)I wouldn't recommend this TV unless you really need a browser on your TV; the fully-functional Chrome browser is it's only real strong point.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 60% by by L.-Delancey (Sep, 2011)So netflix works great, google works pretty well, but streaming from my home PCs is hit or miss so far.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 100% by by Gilbert-L.-Nicholls--Gil (Mar, 2011)For example hulu will only allow shows to be seen on google tv if you buy a paid subscription from hulu.
Content
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 80% by by C-Leonard--Dachshund-Man (Nov, 2011)The picture is vibrant and bright and I watched Planet Earth on it on Blu-Ray and I must say it was stunning.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 80% by by Ricardo (Sep, 2011)I just hooked up my Direct tv with no problems, Panasonic blu ray, and finally my PS3.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 60% by by Ginger (Feb, 2011)It seems insignificant, but after paying so much money for this product, I believe it should have been tested with games/have a gaming mode (or at least a disclaimer).
Remote
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 20% by by Straight_Shooter (Dec, 2011)Remote - Bulky and cheap feeling, in the picture it felt so solid, but in real life?
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 60% by by Alex--average-joe (Mar, 2012)The remote is also pretty big, but when you start to use the google TV functions you will be happy they included a full keyboard.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 40% by by H.-KeefeThe remote really isn't that bad either,and even better than that, if you have an Android phone, you can get the Google TV Remote app for free and control your TV with your phone instead (which I find works even better than the included Sony remote).
Panel
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 80% by by AL (Aug, 2011)The TV: Beautiful glass-front TV, I've been waiting for LCD TV similar to plasmas where they have one slab of glass, making it look like a clean picture frame.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 100% by by Kim (Feb, 2012)Much better than just a big screen TV and if you wait for a sale it really isn't much more expensive it at all.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 80% by by Bubba (Jul, 2011)The highest resolution, refresh rate, etc. coupled with a blue ray player does not necessarily mean the best watching experience.
Video
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 100% by by J.-H.-Cohen--WonderdivaI think if you use a color calibration DVD or even Google the settings for it (which I did) it puts off an amazing picture.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 100% by by Off-The-Beaten-Path--Bill (Sep, 2011)I've enjoyed listening to Pandora while watching the the Video from Sat/HDTV Tuner, adds some mystery/excitement to the mundane reruns, love the IR Blasters to control the Sat Box and Sony AMP.
Sony NSX Series 40" | Rated 100% by by P.-Morris (Aug, 2011)I have a Sony 46v5100 that is 1080p 120hz that the Revue is on, and the Sony google tv is a much nicer performer.
