We have a 42" LED Bravia and it's a fine set. Built in satellite receiver too. The current Bravia's use Android (Linux) so that apps store is available IIRC. Ours uses an earlier flavour of Linux so the apps are preset but most are there including Netflix and Youtube. (4od and 5 are missing)

With any flat screen TV the sound is reedy at the best so you'll probably want to add a subwoofer as a minimum or run it through a Hi Fi. We have a vibe 100 watt unit.
