Even if you're sitting far enough away you can't see the greater resolution having a Blu-ray player can still be a benefit. If you're buying Blu-rays for the big screen in the living room you don't want to have to also buy a DVD for the TV in the bedroom. ]]>May 22nd 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/

putting a Blu-ray into a screen that small was pointless to begin with, other than marketing fluff.

Even for Blu-Ray, 1080p is largely overrated....unless you're sitting very very close]]>May 22nd 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/
On 20" it's most certainly overkill. Not a dealbreaker by any means. What is a dealbreaker is the price on this puppy. Then again, maybe it makes sense in urban Japan, where space is at a premium - maybe you want to have a 20" screen because you put it in a tiny room.

This shouldn't be intended as a main video source. It's a secondary unit you can stick in a bedroom, kitchen or workout room that allows you to still watch your collection of discs and their interactive content.

Buying a VHS and DVD copy of everything 10 years ago so you could watch in separate rooms wasn't fun then either. That's when people just started buying equipment for all rooms that could play the same thing.

It's no surprise this is Japan-only. They more easily adapt to new technologies and accept they will be the norm in the future far more easily than the Western world.]]>May 22nd 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/May 22nd 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/May 23rd 2009 4:19PM
