It is very rare to see Google advertising any of their products on TV. However, they have decided that this is a necessary tool when trying to promote their Google+ social network.

For Google+ Google is trying to push the motto: “Sharing, but like real life. That’s a plus.”

Naturally the TV, being HD, offers up a full 1080p display. It comes in varying sizes ranging from 46-, 52-, or 60-inches with an LED backlit LCD screen. The two big ones for me is the integrated WIFI which opens up a lot of opportunities and the inclusion of an ambient light sensor is always nice for quick adjustments. The TV is also internet ready with its own set of proprietary widgets. I’d like to see these in action in the real world to see if it’s something people will actually use.

The Sony Bravia NX800 HDTV will retail at $2300 to $3500 so save your nickels and dimes and see if this TV is what you’re looking for in a full entertainment experience.

Sony Bravia offers full online and offline entertainment options.

There’s something about 60’s styling which has never really died. It think it’s the funkiness. Eye-catching colour and god-awful shapes make something marvellous. Groovy, man.

Now, LG are jumping aboard the ‘groovy’ band wagon (or VW van, whichever you prefer) with their new CRT TV which just launched for the Korean market.

It’s available in either black or bright red. It has a period styling with a pair of bunny ears antenna, twisty dials and four telescopic legs. Yet it’s fully compatible with all our modern electronics such as DVD players and games consoles.

I think we’ll be seeing quite a few of these up on Ebay destined for the US and Europe. Although I guess it’s understandable why LG won’t launch it as a product in the Western market.

Toshiba have just announced the arrival of their new TV – what must be the most powerful TV in the universe. It’s called the Cell TV and is available in 55 or 65 inch versions. Don’t it look good?

Well it’s the insides that I’m more concerned about. They have crammed in multiple eight-core processors which all combine to make it more powerful than ten average desktop computers and 143 times faster than rival televisions. Impressive right? Toshiba think so too.

The possibilities of what we can do are really endless,” said Scott Ramirez, vice president of marketing for Toshiba’s TV group, during a press conference.

The TV is also connected to the internet via WiFi or an Ethernet cable allowing content to be downloaded and streamed. You can also browse the net and hold video calls by using the inbuilt video camera and microphone.

2010 has been dubbed the year of 3D TV, well this TV has a processor which makes normal TV ‘jump’ out of the screen at you. This includes things like football which was thought too complex and fast-paced to be made 3D just a few years ago.

This TV will go down in the history books as a turning point in home entertainment, home computing and technology in general.
