I went neutral. I was in the market for a new LCD and being biased to Sharp As my current Sharp 37'' LCD has been fantastic. I opted to purchase a new 46'' Sharp LCD and I took advantage of Sharps promo where you buy any Sharp 1080p LCD over 42'' and you get a free Sharp BlueRay Player.
So I have a Sharp BR player to go with my Toshiba A2. I still hope that Toshiba can pull this thing out since HD-DVD is, in my opinion, a better format for the consumer.
I will say that both systems take about the same time to boot up. And both my BR and HD-DVD have pretty much identical PQ. For sound I can't make a fair comparison since my Onyko receiver doesn't do full uncompressed True HD sound.
But, the A2 is a much more responsive unit when watching a disk. It’s almost a 5 second lag time on the BR player for a menu to come up when pressed
/rambling off.
