Sharp BD-HP17U
$250.00
Released July, 2009
The Pros:Easy to setup - most users will have it up and running in no time. Supports all the basic Blu-ray features one would expect from a Profile 2.0 player. Sleek aesthetic - the disc tray is hidden behind a door.
The Cons:Somewhat slow when loading standard DVDs. Lacks built-in Internet apps. Glossy enclosure - attracts fingerprints and dust.
