Sharp to release new HDTV line - with built-in Blu-Ray players
Both Mitsubishi and Funai were negotiating and debating terms to release the first HDTV with a built-in Blu-Ray player, but talks have been just that so far: talk. Meanwhile, Sharp has gone beyond talk by announcing the world’s first HDTV with built-in Blu-Ray DVD players.
The Sharp AQUOS DX LCD HDTV Series will have six models in the line; these are the LC-26DX1, LC-32DX1, LC-37DX1, LC-42DX1, LC-46DX1 and LC-52DX1. All six will come with an integrated HDTV tuner as well as bottom mounted speakers with pretty decent stats too.
The line will debut in Japan in a month or so, and should follow in other territories as sales and manufacturing capacity permits. It should be very popular, indeed. Pricing details were not announced.
It’s assumed that more companies will eventually follow suit now that Sharp has broken the ice.
