Blu-ray and ATSC have some areas of overlap, it's probably save to say that all the video decoding circuitry can exist on the Blu-ray side, which can also handle the upscaling, reverse-pulldown, and other image manipulation features that would normally be done by the TV itself. To be a TV, it just needs the tuner (not the decoder, the tuner) and stuff to convert the various analog signals into digital.<br><br>Add that to the fact the entire box is mounted vertically, allowing air to easily flow over the circuits without the need for fans, and you probably have a much more efficient and clean design than you'd ever have otherwise.<br><br>And if you're trying to push Blu-ray, building the players into HDTVs strikes me as a good way to do it. I'm surprised Sony hasn't been doing this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[squiggleslash]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 11:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sharp AQUOS DX series: world's first LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</guid><description><![CDATA[Uh...then don't buy one...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JimC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 1:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sharp AQUOS DX series: world's first LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</guid><description><![CDATA[As long as it's not wall mounted I don't see how it could get any less ventilation than my PS3 gets in my equipment cabinet. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[crawdad62]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 10:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sharp AQUOS DX series: world's first LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</guid><description><![CDATA[The problem isn't heat, but taking the markets cheapest BD player and fusing it to a potentially expensive HDTV.  Marrying the industries most unreliable product (Optical drives) to one of the most reliable products is dumber that dumb.  Isn't anyone one on this board old enough to remember all of the VHS/TV or DVD/TV combos parents gave their college freshman children.  The player almost never worked by the end of the first school year.  Imagine if you had to send your HDTV out for repair everytime your DVD player malfuctioned or broke.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chuckdaly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 1:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sharp AQUOS DX series: world's first LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</guid><description><![CDATA[It would be really handy if the TV had an HDMI input just in case that happens. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LloydChiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 31st 2008 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sharp AQUOS DX series: world's first LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think this is the kind of thing that gets Blu going for the average consumer.  They will have no problem spending the money on the flat-panel tv that all of their friends have so what's a little more expense to get this Blu-Ray thing everyone is talking about.  Once they have it and watch a Blu-Ray they will be sold like the rest of us already are.  I pronounce XMAS 2008 and all of 2009 the Golden Age of Blu-Ray...Q]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ChiWax]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 5:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sharp AQUOS DX series: world's first LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/</guid><description><![CDATA[What software do I need to download to be able to shrink Blue-ray movies and copy them to my hard drive?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2008 1:28AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
