Being it into your bedroom if you have an icky partner, and you never will need the headache excuse again. The Sony Google TV is the one shot bedroom action killer if you need one.Geeks rejoice, Sony has unveiled its latest range of Internet-enabled TVs, boasting of the much-hyped Google TV software. Anticipation is running high surrounding the product that brings the giants together.

At a news conference in the Big Apple, Sony brought forth the idiot vox revelation that brings Twitter, YouTube ,Netflix and Hulu into one swish LCD screen to grace the living room. There is the fabled Google search engine for surfing the net, powered by Google Chrome. There are a delightful array of apps, courtesy Android OS.

The internet TVs in High Definition flaunt swanky edge-lit LED screens, all of 1080p. Get wired with Wi-Fi capabilities and multiple USB ports. The TV links up the web to existing satellite or cable connections, so you have the ultimate integrated infotainment. Watching sitcoms and mailing and surfing, the super-taskers are in for a bonanza, or an attention deficit breakdown. The NYC launch had people agog with a long-wanted for convergence tech.

Sizes of the glitzy screen range from 24″ to 46″, so pony up for the right dimension, with tags beginning at $599, and peaking at a hefty $1,399.The remote is chock-a-block with buttons, a cross between a QWERTY keyboard and a PlayStation controller, with design admittedly poached from PS3. Looks are the nation is sure in for a sore-n-frozen thumb epidemic.
