+ Works nicely in conjunction with my Sharpe LCD.
Lovely clear image.
Asthetically pleasing.

Sound levels can be irratic between voice & background score. This may be down to bluray discs, havent tried many yet.

Score 10.0/10

+ Really love the picture and the sound! 'does what it says on the tin'
looks snazzy!

- takes a while to load but not really a problem and apparently most blu ray machines are the same! picture and sound definitely make up for it!
Quite a big machine but looks pretty good still!

+ Easy to set up & install
5.1 Audio Output
Digital Output
Upgradable firmware through USB
Amazing Quality i.e. Dark Knight, Watchmen

- No region unlock for DVD's
Takes a while to load (I've heard this is common with most blu-ray players because of the size of data on discs).

Sam, Kent , “Bargain hunter”

Score 8.0/10

+ I bought this blu ray player to replace the expensive model that I had that stopped working after a matter of months. I was very impressed with the price but I would say you are getting what you are paying for. Discs are slow to load but quality is great when it gets going. Also some newer blu rays dont play on this without first having a firmware update... I am a complete tecnophobe but found this easy to do.

TechRadar expert review

The BDHP20H is powered up and blasting out 1080p in the time it takes most high-definition disc players to flash up a ‚ÄòWelcome‚Äô message.Considering that this has been the biggest complaint with most HD disc spinners to date, Sharp could be onto something. Add that to some high-end Bluray disc features and a smooth mirrored finish, and the Sharp seems extremely desirable. It‚Äôs also terrific value.Available for a shade under ¬£400 right from the off, it‚Äôs being sold on Sharp‚Äôs website for half that amount when you buy any of the brand‚Äôs TVs at list price.
