A lot of people don't understand that Blu-Ray discs are different to DVD discs in many ways. Last year my family got a HD TV like millions of other people as the prices went down after the world cup. Our old DVD Player was good but we couldn't take full advantage of the quality so decided to get a Blu-Ray player. What Is It? The Sharp BD HP20S is a Blu-Ray and DVD player for HD TV's. This was recently released (around 6 months) so is one of the most recent technology on the market for HD quality films. This will play Blu-Ray discs and DVD/CD discs which will be explained later in review. What Is Blu-Ray? Blu-Ray is one of the newest ...  Read the complete review

I got this BD player free with my 46" LCD tv as a deal. There is one major flaw that the player has, and it's well known since I have looked around on Google, and have experienced this problem myself, hence, why I have had to get another BD player, a Panasonic one, which I chose.

All the feature needed can be found on there, including an open and close button for the disc tray, and a zoom controller. Picture quality is excellent when ...  Read the complete review

As this was one of the first blu ray plaers I have to be honest that I did not expect it to be the greatest Blu ray player. However I was pleasantly surprised when I opened up the packaging and put it on for the very first time. This blu ray player has some great features such as 'Full High Definition' playback and 'Dolby True HD Sound' so you are able to get the best out of the blu ray's that you purchase. The first blu ray that I tried was 'The Matrix' and what a way to begin my blu ray collection. I put it on along with my 19 inch Samsung HD TV and I was blown away. The very first things I noticed was the detail in colour and the detail in the character's skin. By ...  Read the complete review
