Internet TVs?

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I recently tried out a Sony Bravia internet TV (Bravia KDL32EX403U) and was very impressed with the features. Having BBC iPlayer and LoveFilm (both with some HD) direct on the TV was pretty cool. How does this compare with other internet TVs? What internet TV would you recommend? Are there any thinner wall mount TVs that also have these features for a reasonable price?

Thanks!

I have the NX503 and the internet content's great. Implementation seems a bit better than Samsung's (for the time being, though no doubt they'll leapfrog each other). Don't get excited by Lovefilm's content though which is rubbish, and neither it nor iPlayer are HD. What the Sony does have though is Qriocity which, if you have a good broadband connection (think 10meg and up) could signal the death knell of other services like Lovefilm, Apple TV etc...

There's a two-page feature on the latest Smart/Internet TV plans from LG, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony in our just-on-sale March issue.

We'll be following that up with more info here online as the manufacturers unveil their new 2011 product ranges (Sony news due today; Panasonic next week; Samsung the week after, etc). We'll provide an overview of all those announcements in our April issue (on sale early March)

Then we'll bring the whole thing together, with some new-season-set reviews, in a special TV supplement free with the May issue - on sale early April, just when most of these sets will actually be in the shops.
