Sharp announced two new Blu-ray Disc players, the BD-AMS10U and BD-AMS20U. Both models incorporate features from the new SmartCentral interface; the “super picture” setting which improves image resolution by integrating pixel information from lower resolution video from a DVD source or streaming content and restores missing image information while enhancing image details; DLNA interface; and AQUOS Pure mode which creates an optimized color pallet for AQUOS TVs.
BD-AMS10U: $179.99 (available March 2012)
The Sharp BD-AMS10U includes a USB interface for external hard drives for storage and playback and easy integration with other media sources such as digital cameras. This model is wireless LAN ready for streaming content including Netflix, VUDU and YouTube.

The Sharp BD-AMS20U features a wireless LAN to easily connect with the web and access online content, USB interface for external hard drive ports, and a unique smart phone interface via Mobile High-definition Link (MHL). Via MHL, Android users can access and engage their mobile apps and content (i.e. music and videos) via their home entertainment system.
