Flat-panel HDTVs with integrated Blu-ray players are nothing new, but a petite 20-incher with HD recording is a different proposition altogether. The upcoming Sharp Aquos LC-20DX1 sets the bar in personal entertainment with an onboard Blu-ray digital video recorder which can record up to 7 hours of high-definition broadcasts. Available in black and white finish, this model features a 1,366 x 768-pixel panel and a respectable 7,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

The LC-20DX1 should be an interesting multifunctional display for Japanese consumers living in space-constrained apartments in major cities such as Tokyo. After all, you'll get Blu-ray, DVD and CD playback, video recording, digital TV tuners and a digital audio amplifier cramped inside a compact package. We've not received any news on the LC-20DX1's availability outside of Japan, but it will be launched there from June 20.
