I would like to watch internet content on the TV in my living room, but I don’t want to clutter the space with a PC. I would also like to upgrade my AV receiver to one supporting the HD sound formats the PS3 is capable of. Sherwood has unveiled a new AV receiver that supports HD sound and internet connectivity with no PC.

The device is called the RD-7505N and is compliant with HDMI 1.4 and 7.1 surround sound. The receiver is ready for 3D content, the device has internet connectivity, and users can surf the web using the receivers remote control.

Blu-ray finally killed off the HD DVD format early this year meaning that many were expecting to see Blu-ray players drop in price quickly. That didn’t really materialize with Blu-ray players staying at levels about the same as before HD DVD died. At least one Blu-ray player has finally come down into the reach of most consumers.

Sherwood has announced a new Blu-ray player called the BDP-5003 that retails for $299.95 and offers upscaling, 1080p resolution and video playback at both 60Hz and 24Hz. The player is fully compatible with HDMI 1.3 and supports Dolby TruHD and DTS-Master Audio HD.
