I’ve been waiting for this !!! But not at this price point . I don’t think Google has established the Google TV brand enough to charge $2299. But as a fan, I’ll probably end up spending my money anyway. Better than it going to Apple.

Those prices should definitely be $300 less each in order to be remotely appealing.

Well let’s remember that is the full retail value price and that it is just dropping. Compare it to say a Samsung 46es6500 which have a full retail price of $1579, it has just been out almost a couple months already and has had time to go on decent sale pricing. It’ll come down people

I love my Sony Google tv in the bedroom only wish they would have added backlite to the remote.

I have a samsung galaxy note (and i owned a galaxy player 5 before that), you can stream media to the google tv using any DLNA compliant device. Granted I own Sony’s version of the googleTV appliance, but I’m hoping it’s the same for you. FYI on the Samsung devices it’s called All Share. But it just works.

Not saying that Hz is everything but its a 120hz . . .but scroll to the bottom and see how it stacks up to the other TVs in the line up….. it’s over priced.

Go for the Panasonic plasma. Nothing beats the display quality of a plasma. There will be Google TV set top boxes soon enough.

It’s still overpriced. A comparable Samsung Smart TV, 55″ 120 Hz LED, will cost you sub $1700. A 55″ LED Vizio at 240 Hz will cost you less than that, somewhere around $1300, but that is just an internet capable TV.

The average consumer is not going to go for an LG at $1699 when you can get a 46″ Samsung Smart TV for $1299. Is Google TV really worth $400?

I have a Revue and I love it. Google made it pretty seemless and I was impressed my how easy it was to setup the remote, and I can still use my original remote. There’s not much better then typing in a movie and seeing every place you could get it from on 1 screen. Netflix is awesome, as well as surfing for things or watching Youtube.

The only thing I would want is the ability to wirelessly send something to my google TV from my phone.

So buy an amazing 50 Panasonic Plasma for 1200, or… spend more money for a smaller screen and Google TV…

I love my Revue, it wasn’t so great at first, but man after the update i love it.

Now if they made it work with LG’s smart remote (it works like a Wii controller and puts a cross hair on the screen for you to click on things) then I’d be much more interested. I have an LG smart TV with the remote and love it. Just point click and go

I’d be willing to give it a go for a set top box at say the $99 price point. Oh, and let me get one with an option to have a cablecard and external HD storage for DVR capabilities and I’d be all over it in a second!

I still use my Sony GTV every single day. But I would much rather spend
$250 on that seperate box with BluRay than a TV with it built in any
day. Granted this is a pretty high end TV judging by the specs, just not
what I am after I guess.

Exactly, unless there is some compelling reason TV’s should just be dumb monitors and the smarts should be built into an external component so you don’t have to pay 1 G or more when you need to upgrade.
