Sharp's BD Player
At Sharp's press conference yesterday the Aquos BD-HP20U Blu-ray player was announced. The 1080p player supports HDMI 1.3 and 24 fps output, it will be available starting this month for $549.99.
Sharp claims that the player can get you from disc insertion to movie playback in as little as 10 seconds, but qualifies that statement by saying that movie content, video connection and monitor can all impact total start time.
While it's nice to have more BD players on the market, the price points are still far too high. Although the BD camp appears to be pulling ahead in terms of movie sales, Toshiba's aggressive HD-DVD pricing and promotion is really tough to compete with.

Excellent Cedia coverage - especially pictures. For projectors, I suggest you ask what device created the content and what content playback device is connected to the projector and how. For instance, is the image 1080p hd dvd, bd, up converted sd dvd, etc. Thanks for the coverage....MGSsancho - Thursday, September 6, 2007 - link
most of the time they use a 1080P source. if you are showing off a $5000- $9000 projector, you will do everything in your power to make it sexy
