Sharp must have a thing about thinness at present, as they unveil one of the slimmest Blu-ray players around (2.7 inches high). The BD-HP20S is their first dedicated player to leave Japan.
Features are much as you'd expect from the latest Blu-ray players: 1080p, HDMI 1.3 with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio support, the full Blu-ray specification implemented for true interactivity, PiP, web features, and so on, 24fps movie mode, and a much shorter startup time.
It also upscales standard DVDs, and features their AQUOS Link feature for connecting and triggering other Sharp AQUOS equipment such as their LCD TV range.
Due for a European launch in the autumn, moving to the States shortly after, with prices to be confirmed.
