Sharp‘s AQUOS LC-52BD80U is a 52″ 1080p LCD TV that sports a built-in Blu-ray player. The LC-52BD80U uses the company’s new ASV (Advanced Super View) Superlucent TFT LCD that has an ultra-smooth fin­ish to min­i­mize gloss and reflec­tions while improv­ing bright­ness and con­trast. The 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced should help min­i­mize motion com­ing out of the built-in Blu-ray player. The 10-bit ASV LCD panel also pro­vides more than a bil­lion col­ors and is Deep Color compt­abile. The LC-52BD80U has dejud­der tech­nol­ogy that makes film look like… film.

Although I’m not a fan of inte­grat­ing other func­tions such as a Blu-ray player into the TV itself, I think the time might be right for such a thing. I have a Hitachi CRT TV with a built-in VHS player. The VHS player broke many years ago. I haven’t fixed it. But now I think the Blu-ray player will last about as long as the 52″ LCD TV and should not pose the same prob­lem. Just a hunch.
