Sharp BDHP20H (Blu-ray player) 1080P £129.95 or £142.90 with 5 yr warranty instore


£129.95

244°

FOUND BY: ALICOM007 1 year, 2 months ago

i thought this was kinda cheap for a blu-ray player.


Joining the elite band of other Blu-ray manufacturers, say hello to the highly desirable Sharp BDHP20H.

With its 1080p video output and Dolby TrueHD audio, the Sharp Blu-ray offers the ultimate in sound and vision. As with other High Definition Blu-ray players, another great feature with this player is that even ordinary DVDs benefit from near High Definition picture quality, thanks to the built-in 1080p upsampling.

Although the BDHP20H will work well with any TV, it's particularly impressive with Sharp's own Aquos designs. This is due to the Aquos Link which allows full integration of a Sharp Aquos TV and Blu-ray with just a single remote control.

Yet it's not just the sound, picture and convenience that will impress you, for the BDHP20 looks pretty sharp, too! The slimline casing is finished in gloss black with a smooth Perspex front. The result is a player that looks clean yet sophisticated, stylish yet discreet.

To experience a new level of home entertainment, move on up to the Sharp BDHP20H and prepare to be impressed!

it is a good price but before purchasing bare in mind that it has a few shortfalls, Mediocre DVD playback, No BD Java 1.1 support, No DTS hi-definition audio, No simultaneous HD output on HDMI and component, can’t use blank media storing DiVX or MPEG1, 2, and 4 video files, JPEG pictures, or music formats such as MP3s or WMAs. Also unwelcome are the CD sides of DualDiscs.

If none of that is a problem, then it's a good price for a quality player.

Voted lukewarm - will wait until Blu-Ray standard is finalised before splashing out on a player!

it is finalised. It's called BD Live (or 2.0), and is available on a few players, most notably the PS3.

Voted cold, its a pig in a poke tbh.

But he means a proper stand alone Blu-ray player with all the bells and whistles that a PS3 doesnt have. Not a trojan horse console that major selling point is that it can also play Blu-rays.

And before you start the fanboy nonsense dont bother, I am not interested.

Voted cold, cannot see the point of wasting money and buying a player with so many drawbacks. Might as well spend the extra and get a PS3 if your weapon of choice is BluRay.

The PS3 provides basic BD playback for the majority user, of course the platform also has the massive advantage of regular firmware updates, but the largest portion of standalones are built for hardened home theatre enthusiasts and the PS3 most definitely is not.

For the purposes of OTHERS...... the PS3 is an awesome blu-ray player, I am by no means a PS3 fanboy.... I've mainly used xbox,, xbox 360.... but really wanted a blu-ray player recently.

The PS3 video quality it really quite impressive and EASILY rivals stand-alone players.... I know this because I also have a SAMSUNG BD-P1500 blu-ray player and the PS3 blatantly outshines it - the samsung is a great player but there is artefacts and noise on the picture.... the PS3 has none of these.

Here is my PS3 on my Projector:



Point being, its not uncommon to think that a game console or other "non-dedicated blu ray" device would be any good, but the PS3 really proves it is.... whether it was a trojan for blu-ray or whatever is irrelevant to to its video quality.

What is the state of play on Blu ray machines that will play Divx, mpeg (and the HD versions) and dare I mention region hacking !!
I thought that there were Philips and Daewoo player coming this year that were as 'user friendly' and hackable as their DVD players !
