Reviews of the Sharp BD-HP20U

CNET Review
The Good: The Sharp BD-HP20U's Quick Start feature loads certain discs superfast; excellent video quality using 1080p/24 output.
The Bad: The Sharp BD-HP20U only supports Blu-ray profile 1.0; no onboard decoding for high-resolution DTS soundtracks or bit-stream output; poor 1080i deinterlacing on Blu-ray movies; no Ethernet port for firmware updates; poor performance with video-based DVDs; Quick Start feature guzzles power even when the player is off.
The Bottom Line: The Sharp BD-HP20U is a decent Blu-ray player that can load some discs superfast, but there are better options out there.
