As some of you will certainly remember, back at IFA, Sharp decided to jump on the 3D bandwagon and released the AQUOS Quattron 3D LCD TV, and since there's no point on rolling out such a display without a companion 3D Blu-ray player, they've also brought up (this time at the CEDIA Expo 2010, from the US) two products of this type, the BD-HP90U and BD-HP80U.

The two new 3D Blu-ray models provide full HD 3D 1080p/24 fps video output, as well as access to content from a wide variety of sources, including Netflix, VUDU and Pandora from the Internet via Wireless LAN.

When paired with the aforementioned 3D display from Sharp, they also provide users access to a host of advanced features, including AQUOS PURE Mode for superior "dot-by-dot" delivery of 1080p content and AQUOS LINK function for seamless interoperability between TV and Blu-ray Disc player via a simple one cable HDMI connection.

In addition, HDMI up-scaling even improves the picture and sound quality of standard definition DVDs by optimizing playback signals to 1080p.

And since we've reached this particular topic, it's also interesting to mention that, beside DVDs, both models also play CDs, as well as DIVX HD, JPEG and MP3 files.

Both models enable consumers to take advantage of the latest surround sound formats such as Dolby TrueHD, with lossless 7.1 channel audio reproduction that is bit-for-bit the equivalent of the master recordings.

"These Blu-ray Disc players offer top-of-the-line performance and operation features that enable consumers to take full advantage of the 3DTV standard as well as the many diverse entertainment options available to them," said Bruce Tripido, associate vice president, Entertainment Products Division, Sharp Electronics Corporation.

The BD-HP90U and BD-HP80U will be available in September for MSRPs of $499.99 and $429.99, respectively.
