    • Product Rating: 3 star(s) Sharp BD-HP20U
      by Matthew Moskovciak
    • Pros: The Sharp BD-HP20U's Quick Start feature loads certain discs superfast; excellent video quality using 1080p/24 output.
    • Cons: The Sharp BD-HP20U only supports Blu-ray profile 1.0; no onboard decoding for high-resolution DTS soundtracks or bit-stream output; poor 1080i deinterlacing on Blu-ray movies; no Ethernet port for firmware updates; poor performance with video-based DVDs;

    • Product Rating: 2.5 star(s) Five Blu
      by Robert Heron
    • Pros: Quick-Start feature speeds player start-up time.
    • Cons: Very slow at starting playback. Poky menu navigation. Clips detail over HDMI. Poor video processing with interlaced material. No indicator for 24-Hz video output.
    • Comments:
      Blu-ray's victory in the high-definition disc war has opened the floodgates for hardware manufacturers. The market is becoming crowded with new players, and Sharp's BD-HP20U AQUOS Blu-ray Disc player ($399.99 direct) attempts to stand out from the pack by...

    • Sharp BD-HP20U Blu-ray Player Review
      by Dick De Jong
    • Comments:
      Sharp introduced the BD-HP20U, their first Blu-ray player - and so far, their only one - in late 2007. Basically, a Profile 1.0 machine like this Sharp doesn't include all the interactive bells and whistles that the newer Profile models do. But if you are...
