As Blu-ray and HD-DVD players are relatively new technology, it's not surprising that most models still tend to be very expensive.
However the Sharp BDHP20X Blu-ray player is one of the exceptions to that rule, carrying a reasonable RRP of $749. Of course, there's a catch: it does lack some features and functions that you'll always find on higher-end models.
For starters, the BDHP20X isn't compatible with Blu-ray Profile 1.1 specification (this basically allows picture-in-picture and other similar functions). It also lacks support for a number of common formats, including MP3, JPEG, DivX and even WMA.
However in terms of performance the BDHP20X does excel, outperforming its $749 RRP. The picture is generally sharp and detailed. The features that are included tend to work well, including 1080p HD upscaling and the Quick Start button.
