New Sharp Blu-ray Player And 3D LCDs Are Looking Sharpish
Sharp just announced a slick new pair of Blu-Ray players, and updated its Quattron TVs (you know, the ones with the yellow pixels in ’em) to support 3D. The new players support Netflix, VUDU and Pandora, among other internet services and rich media-type stuff. Mainly, though, they’re really nice-looking. Pictures courtesy of Gizmodo.

ATLANTA, GA., September 23, 2010 – Sharp today introduces two 3D network Blu-ray Disc
“These Blu-ray Disc players offer top-of-the-line performance and operation features that enable consumers to take full advantage of the 3DTV standard as well as the many diverse entertainment options available to them,” said Bruce Tripido, associate vice president, Entertainment Products Division, Sharp Electronics Corporation.
When paired with a Sharp AQUOS® Quattron 3D LCD TV, the BD-HP90U and BD-HP80U enable consumers to take advantage of additional performance and convenience features including AQUOS PURE Mode for superior “dot-by-dot” delivery of 1080p content and AQUOS LINK
Both models enable consumers to take advantage of the latest surround sound formats such as Dolby TrueHD, with lossless 7.1 channel audio reproduction that is bit-for-bit the equivalent of the master recordings.
Wireless LAN compatibility also enables BD-Live
The BD-HP90U and BD-HP80U have 75mm VESA mounting patterns for flexible installation. The BD-HP90U can also operate horizontally or vertically (with a supplied stand) and has a RS232 port control so it can be operated by universal remote control systems.
Pricing and Availability
The BD-HP90U and BD-HP80U will be available in September for MSRPs of $499.99 and $429.99, respectively.
