Sharp's New Blu-ray Players have 3D and a Stunning Design

Sharpbdhp Two new Blu-ray players have been announced for the US market, the BD-HP90U and the BD-HP80U, both of which offer stunning looks and the latest 3D technology inside.  There is very little to split the two in terms of features, so lets take a look at what they share first.

Of course, both output HD pictures at 1080p and 24fps, plus they support the latest 3D discs and upscale DVD too.  There are several online streaming services, including those from Netflix, VUDU and Pandora, all of which are accessed using the built-in Wi-Fi, plus the players will accept DivX HD, Jpeg and MP3 media file formats.

The differences occur on the mounting possibilies of the players.  They both have the ability to be wall-mounted, however the BD-HP90U comes complete with a stand to allow a tabletop vertical mount, just like a old PS2.  This, plus the addition of an RS232 port makes the HP90U $499, while the HP80U will cost $429.  These represent the first 3D Sharp products launched outside of Japan, and they have been joined by a range of 3D televisions too.
