Sony Electronics was showing off the final design of their new Internet TV (better known as the world’s first HDTV powered by Google TV) at IFA in Berlin and we filmed a quick 360 video of the hardware. Unfortunately no demos were being given, but at least we got to see what the entire TV set looked like.
Google TV services will be available on several devices, but the 46-inch Sony Internet TV is the exclusive launch partner so it’s the only HDTV you can purchase this fall. We are still waiting on pricing and availability. Those looking for a cheaper option should keep their eye on the Logitech Revue companion box.
We know some of the internal specs of the Internet TV, but Sony has kept quiet about the type of panel being used and expansion options. The demo units that were on display had their ports taped over, so we are not sure what they are hiding right now. If I had to guess, I would expect to see the 46-inch model debut around $2500-3000.
What do you think of the final design from Sony? How much would you be willing to pay for a HDTV powered by Google TV?

3k for a 46″…. umm, NO!
I will pay the revue price and slap that on my 55″ LED TV
Qwerty remote?..badass!!.. gotta have one of those.
$3000? HAHA! Dream on…way to stay competitive and relevant in the consumer’s mind. >_>
This is why I think Google TV might fail. Unlike Apple who has a vested interest in the success of Apple TV, Sony/Logitech care more about their own profit than the success of Google TV. There is no way Sony/Logitech would price these devices competitively.
Eww, smudges on your screen ftw. No thanks.
The TV looks amazing but it’s what I expect from Sony. I’m curious about the Google interface.
What i really want is an android powered TV…all Touch Screen!!!!
