Sharp BD-HP70U


$500.00 Released April, 2010

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Wireless LAN enables internet connectivity without the need for any additional networking gear. When paired with a Sharp's AQUOS HDTV the player will automatically switch to "dot by dot" mode for the best possible results. Low energy consumption - uses about half as much electricity at 14w when compared to some competing players.

The Cons:Quick start mode can increase power consumption dramatically.

The BD-HP70U is one of the Blu-ray players new from Sharp in 2010. This is a high-end model, but like the other Blu-ray players coming out from Sharp, the BD-HP70U is made primarily to be compatible with the Sharp AQUOS LCD HD TV.

There is also a custom install feature that includes Deep Color a feature that will enhance picture quality. Like its counterpart, the Sharp BD-HP24U, the BD-HP70U uses only 14 watts of power while in use, and 0.4 watts in standby mode, which makes it Energy Star compliant. Unlike the BD-HP24U, the BD-HP70 is wireless LAN ready.
