Sharp to unveil 32- / 42-inch Blu-ray-equipped LCD HDTVs at CES 2009

You already knew that Sharp would be gearing up to bring a pair of Blu-ray-infused LCD HDTVs to the United States next month, but did you have any idea that they would be showing their faces first in Las Vegas? Yep, according to Wired, the BD-packin' 32- / 42-inch AQUOS DX HDTVs will be shown off first at CES 2009, after which they'll quickly multiply and separate out to various retail outlets across the land. Also, we fully expect to get pricing details for the couple at the show, but that's obviously not guaranteed.

This is not a great idea. When the BR drive breaks you have to send the entire tv in for repair? Hopefully it would be like a computer and they would allow you to simply remove the drive yourself.

Highly Ranked

Ya, so? They've been putting DVD and VHS players on TVs for years and no one seems to object to those.

It is a fine idea for the person who wants to plug in one device and just use it, and doesn't get bogged down in the nitty gritty technical details like we all do. If it breaks, that type of person is just going to pay geek squad to come fix it anyway.

It is also just fine for a secondary viewing room.

I was always against the dvd and vhs versions too.

Thankfully, you don't have to buy one of these. You can buy a TV, then you can buy a Blu-Ray player.
