Sharp to unveil Aquos HDTVs with integrated Blu-ray players
We can’t hate it when we find out that something interesting is going to be unveiled at CES 2009 since all signs are pointing to the fact that it doesn’t look like it will be commonplace this time around. That won’t stop Sharp from showing up with a sweet arsenal, though it’s hard to call two new sets an arsenal. According to a Sharp executive, Sharp will be debuting two new Aquos HDTVs at CES that come packing integrated Blu-ray / DVD / CD players. There will be a 32″ model and a 42″ model unveiled and both will become available for sale shortly after the show. As far as pricing, Sharp will wait for the show to make anything official, though rumor has it the 42″ model will come in somewhere around $2,000 and will also feature 1080p HD resolution and a 120Hz frame-rate processing. We definitely can’t wait to check out these new Aquos sets along with what will hopefully be a few surprises from Sharp at CES next month.
So why would someone spend that much money on a tv with a built in blu-ray player??? The blu-ray player breaks and then what do you do??? If you can afford a $2g+ tv, why can’t they afford a $200 blu-ray player to stick in their receiver????
It’s all about space, if you can afford a TV that much, it reduces and clutter, it’s all about image, I could see myself buying this, I have too many things plugged into my TV as it is

Esactly! it’s all about trimming the fat so to speak. I hate trying to hide all those damn cables. Especially with a wall mounted unit. The less the better in my opinion.
