An odd video quirk and a dated interface prevent the Sharp BD-HP35U 3D-enabled Blu-ray player from earning our recommendation.

Sharp BD-HP35U : Full Set

The disc tray comes out of the right side of the front panel, an odd position compared to most other players' center-and left-oriented trays.

Sharp BD-HC35U : Side

A USB port sits under the buttons, ready to accept a USB flash drive or the included Wi-Fi dongle.

Sharp BD-HP35U : Back

The outputs on the back are very barebones: HDMI and optical audio are the only audio/video outputs, joined by a second USB port and an Ethernet jack. It's weird to see any Blu-ray player without some sort of analog output, like component video.

Sharp BD-HP35U : Remote

The 6.6-inch remote is simple and functional, with no bells, whistles, or wasted buttons.

Sharp BD-HP35U : Full Set

The front of the player is flat, black, and glossy. A light-up ring of blue LEDs in the center and a small LCD panel on the left side of the front panel serve as notification lights for the BD-HP35U.
