Sharp BDHP35U Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sharp HE BDHP35U DVD BluRay Player works great coupled with my SHARP HDTV 46" LE810UN. Previous to getting this player, we were using a PS2 as our DVD player. I could have probably got a BluRay player for less but the integration with my existing SHARP TV was my main criteria and I was willing to pay a little extra for it. If your TV is compatible with AQUOS LINK (which mine is), you can control both the TV and the player with simple operations. I am able to perform simple functions of the TV with the player's remote and functions of the player with the TV's remote. When the playback on the player is started the TV automatically knows the input without having to specify the input (which I would normally have to do with our game consoles PS2 and Wii). When the player is stopped, turning off the TV automatically turns off the player too. When you switch to the LCD TV input terminal connected to this player, the power of this player will be turned on automatically. The image quality is wonderful on up-converted standard DVDs. I recently watched the BluRay "Gnomeo and Juliet" with the kids and the picture quality with this player on my Sharp 46" was nothing short of incredible! With the AQUOS LINK, images are automatically adjusted to the most suitable image quality for the AQUOS TV. So far I am really happy with this player and the integration with my SHARP TV. The eject seems a bit slow as does the load time of DVDs, but nothing that is completely intolerable. Note: the manual is clear that there may be firmware updates on Sharp's product page, which there are, which will improve playback of discs and Netflix. Normally I go with Amazon, but I purchased this from Abt Electronics because they had the best price at the time.
Pros: Excellent Image Quality, Easy Set-Up, Seamless Integration with Sharp TVs, Backwards Compatible DVD Up-conversion, Wireless Internet via included dongle that plugs in the back.
Cons: A bit pricey compared to other BluRay players out there, but it does include the wireless dongle, and is 3D capable (which I don't care about).
