A smart TV is a digital television which is internet enabled and is mainly used for. I was a big fan of the first generation of Google TV hardware, so I was excited to have a look how it works with newer, better spec'd units. Read on to see how it went. The unit itself is small, unassuming, and looks like every other piece of electronics in your home entertainment cabinet. It's roughly an 8- inch by 3. It's glossy black plastic is a total fingerprint magnet, but you'll never have to touch it after installing so we'll give it a pass there. Underneath the unit you'll find four rubber feet to keep it elevated so that air can flow through the venting. We've heard some reports of the box itself getting rather hot, but we've not experienced that ourselves - - even after marathon Futurama sessions on Netflix or the full second season of Game of Thrones played in succession. With no internal fan on the ARM CPU, airflow is important. Other than the vents, and the aforementioned connect button, there's not much to say about the exterior of the device - - until you get to the rear. Around back you'll find the important parts. You've got an HDMI input and output (the box goes in- line between your cable box/DVR), an optical audio out port, a plug for the included IR blaster, a standard CAT5 network jack, the power port, and two full- size USB 2. Because the player runs Android 3. USB host ability works and you can plug a thumb drive in and watch movies or play music right from the drive itself. Depending on the power requirements, some USB hard drives may work as well. An old Seagate with its own 5. VDC power supply worked just fine. The Specifications. Yes, specs can matter - - even on a TV set- top box. This is where the new Google TV hardware, with ARM innards (versus older Intel Atom processors), shines above the older versions. With better chips inside, and software better optimized for this architecture, the Sony Internet Player is miles more capable than devices like the Logitech Revue. You notice the speed increase everywhere, but it's easy to see loading Chrome. Pages like Google+ that would struggle on older hardware now run almost as well as they do on a nicely spec'd desktop, and this opens the doors for HTML 5 web applications - - like HBO Go. Side by side, on the same television, I also get a better picture and better sound from the Sony Internet Player than I did from the Revue. This is to be expected, as newer hardware and newer software should run better. ![]() Here's your bullet point list. I'm not going to pile on that wagon, because I think they did a decent job with it. Google TV has a million different buttons and functions, a QWERTY keyboard, and a method to move a mouse pointer. It's damn near impossible to squeeze that into a remote control unit that will make everyone happy. I'm still liking the remote that came with the Logitech Revue a bit better, but for many folks (Mrs. Hildenbrand included) a full size 1. The way Sony has tackled this is to use a two sided unit, with keyboard functions on one side, and the other has a trackpad and a few function buttons. One one side, you have a keyboard. The keys are a bit small, but functional enough. You won't be typing 8.
