This seems… weird. Sharp have just announced three new LED backlit LCD TVs. But despite the industry trend to shout out 3D at the top of their lungs as often as possible, none of these has 3D. Or IPTV. One of them does have in integrated Blu-ray player though…
Sharp have added a 46-incher and a 52-incher to their LE700X range for $2,599 and $3,899 respectively. But the interesting set is the 46-inch LB700X, which has a built-in Blu-ray player, complete with BD-Live and support for the uncompressed audio formats. It’s only a wired connection, and there’s no internal storage – you need to plug in a USB stick for BD-Live – but it seems like a pretty simple solution for a 46-incher. Also, it only costs $2,899, which seems pretty reasonable. If you prefer your TVs to be Blu-ray’d up and not feature things like 3D or IPTV, that is…
