The Sony BRAVIA KDL-46NX700 is one of two wireless HDTVs announced in 2010 as part of the KDL-NX700 Series. It builds from the 40” KDL-40NX700 with a larger 46” display. Like its predecessor, the KDL-46NX700 can handle full 1080p high-definition video content at an ultra-fast frame-rate. Plus, it’s built for HDMI, composite, component, PC, Ethernet, and WiFi connectivity. Once the unit is hooked up to a network, users can stream movies and videos (Netflix, YouTube, Slacker, etc), personalize their viewing experience by adding information apps, or access the latest news and Twitter updates. Plus, USB-enabled devices like camcorders and MP3 players can be accessed through the unit’s USB port.
