In the early 1990s, TVs with embedded VCRs were some of the most popular consumer electronic designs and flew out of store shelves in a hurry. It was easy and you didn't have to deal with any of those darn complicated cord plugging', video input hassles. Sharp will soon release two Aquos LCD HDTVs with embedded Blu-ray players next month, right after they're unveiled during CES 2009. The TVs will come in 32 inches and 42 inches, and the latter will have 1080p HD resolution and a 120Hz frame-rate processing. Both sizes will feature a multiple slot-loading rig for easy transitions between Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs. The new models will also get an integrated HDTV tuner, bottom-mounted speaker, with the Blu-Ray drive being unmountable if there is a need for repair.

The Aquos screens with built-in Blu-Ray drives will be on sale in the US right after it's unveiling in CES. No clues yet on its price or availability.
