But if you've invested in Blu-Ray discs for your main home theater system, you don't want to have to buy them again on DVD just to watch them in the bedroom / kitchen / wherever you need that smaller TV. Since the BR player will (presumably) play both DVD and BR discs, you get the convenience of being able to play all of your discs, the space-saving convenience of an all-in-one package, and the cost-effectiveness of not having to buy (and store) multiple copies of the same movie. Oh, and the cost-effectiveness of not having to pay for 1080p when 720p will work just fine at average viewing distances.<br><br>It's not always about having all of the features, sometimes it's about having a good combination of features at a price point that makes sense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rob S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2009 9:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Pip: You can't tell the difference on such a small screen unless you're up against it like a computer monitor. Anybody watching this will be at least a few feet away rendering the whole 1080p vs 720p meaningless. You should look at the charts they have posted in this site before showing when the resolution makes a difference, it is based on screen size and viewing distance. <br><br>BTW: For a computer monitor then the difference is noticeable because it allows you to fit more content in the screen (i.e. more windows, more of a picture...)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Juan C.

They were designed for theater systems, and the math cannot be applied to home HDTV sets, let alone 20" screens. If you want to check for yourself, I'm sure you and your mother have a 20" LCD by now, run some 720p video and some 1080p video and look at the differences. Sit 2' feet away, easy. 5' easy. 10' you will STILL notice a difference. Yet those charts say otherwise, must be our eyes playing tricks on us? Yeah?<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2009 2:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's actually a DVD and BluRay *recorder*, not a player.

Yes I am one of the 1080p snobs, but seriously if you want a blu-ray you want it for one reason only - better picture (and sound to an extent). <br><br>If you're happy with 720 let me give you a piece of advise that will save you a ton of money - buy an upconvertion dvd player and buy DVDs - saves you a ton of money on the player and tons more on media and still looks decent. <br><br>There's nothing all that wrong with being happy with a 720 picture (hell we've all had worse for most of our lives), but don't come and tell me it's right for a brand new product to incorporate a blu-ray on a 720 display. It's sort of like buying a ferrari engine and putting it in a kia.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zto]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2009 1:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sharps-20-inch-aquos-dx-lcd-hdtv-has-a-built-in-blu-ray-player/</guid><description><![CDATA[People who buy Sharp tv's don't care about image quality in the first place, after all its a Sharp.
