Sharp Aquos DX LCDs Come With Integrated Blu-Ray Recorders
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 5:30 PM on October 15, 2008
If you're in the market for a new television and a Blu-Ray player, Sharp will help you kill two birds with one of its new Aquos DXs. The company has released a line of LCD TVs that have built-in Blu-Ray disc recorders, which they tout as an all-in-one solution for recording television onto BDs... in case there's television that's actually worth the trouble. The 16 sets in the Aquos DX line range from 26-inch to 52-inch models and cost between $US1,600 and $US4,900.
The larger models (37-inches and up) boast 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, 30W speakers, a 176 degree viewing angle and nine different types of input. The smaller versions have a 1,366x768 pixel resolution, a 1500:1 contrast ratio, and 20W speakers. [Sharp via Akihabara News]

Alright guys.. here's the idea.. we're gonna stuff one really expensive gadget inside another really expensive gadget that makes it so when the thing dies 2 months out of warranty you're essentially out 2 really expensive gadgets. GENIUS.

I don't see why they don't just make them modular, so you can buy a player that just clips in to the back... easier for repairs, and probably far easier to produce. Also, when optical media falls on its face, you can update it to some sort of receiver for skynet or whatever.
