Getting a Blu-Ray player today generally costs a small of fortune. Then comes Sharp who’ve released the affordable BD-HP20A Blu-RayPlayer for the rest of us who want to enjoy HD movies at home without the exorbitant expense. Hopefully, this is the start of a trend that will eventually bring the price of Blu-Ray players down to earth. But how well does a lower cost player perform?
For true HD output, the BD-HP 20A Blu-Ray player connects to your HDTV via a HDMI port and will stream video at true 1080p at 24 frames per second. The HDMI port also stream Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround audio if your A/V system supports it. If not, you can still use the BD-HP20A Blu-Ray player 5.1 analog RCA output which is compatible with most systems today. Should your TV not have a HDMI input, the BD-HP20A Blu-Ray player also has component outputs.
Internally, the BD player handles Blu-Ray discs, naturally. Should you be short on Blu-Rau movies, the BD-HP 20A Blu-Ray player will also play your regular DVDs and upscale them to 1080p. The resulting upscaled output will never be as good as actual HD movies, but it’s better than nothing.
Blu-Ray discs generally take forever to startup the first time. But the BD-HP20A Blu-Ray player has a Quick-Start feature that keeps the program info in memory while in standby mode, so the next time will be faster. Navigating the player and and your movies is via the remote control and easy-to-navigate on screen menus.
Regardless of the specifications or features of the player, once you get a HD movie playing, the BD-HP20A Blu-Ray player is as stunning as any other. The sheer pixel-count of HD movies reveal incredible detail and clarity over DVDs, while allowing for more interactivity like multiple video streams and advanced navigation logic. For the moment, Sharp’s BD-HP20A Blu-Ray player offers one of the most price-efficient ways to enjoy HD home entertainment.
