Sharp’s AQUOS DX2 HDTVs don’t need any help to burn Blu-ray discs

So, Sharp, you introduced the world’s first HDTV line with integrated Blu-ray players last year, what are you going to do next? Only naturally, the Japanese lineup of DX2 series one-ups the original DX by adding Blu-ray recording as well. It doesn’t appear that these pack the LED backlighting of the new X-Gen based displays headed our way this fall, so for now buyers will have to make do with the 15,000:1 contrast ratio shared with the other D-series televisions. Still, the big deal here is that the 1080p (52-, 46- and 40-inch) and 720p (32- and 26-inch) displays will burn up to 30 hours of HD video on dual-layer Blu-ray discs, by way of transcoding and compressing to MPEG-4 format without any messy external boxes or wires. The price range from ?170,000 ($1,740) at the low end to ?480,000 for the largest size when these ship September 15 but don’t count on seeing them on this side of the Pacific (or the Atlantic .)
