I am looking for something I could use as a personal BluRay viewer. Would I be able to connect this monitor to either a BluRay player orBluRay drive?

The monitor has a standard HDMI input, so it can connect to any BluRay player that has an HDMI output! And most of them do have HDMI outputs.

This monitor has a mini HDMI output and comes with a Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable that will connect to your BluRay Player as long as it has a HDMI input.

This has a mini HDMI to HDMI cord included with the monitor and can be connected to any device that accepts an HDMI male cable, including blu ray players. Hope this helps.

Only if you have some where to plug it in. I'm very dissatisfied with mine..all the wires from base monitor to extra monitor to watch is aggravating, plus it takes forever for movie to load. You need to buy a portable DVD Player.. these has to be plugged up to house or vehicle.

And remember you'll need to feed audio separately. One other thing...make sure your monitor can switch between rgb and YPbPr, your dvd player might be able to do that switch too.

Well I don't remember if the Blue ray player has Component conections on it or not, but if your flat screen dose have then ,and the Sony BD player has them that would be the next best thing , being that means you would get 1080 I at least, not as good as 1080 P but still pretty dame good, I hope that helps you out

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

It worked for me, without my monitor falling asleep. As long as there is an active signal from the DVD player, that the monitor understands, I don't think that will be a problem. If your DVD player really has component RGB out (and not YPbPr) then it should work directly. Otherwise you have to make sure your monitor can switch to YPbPr input (a menu-option in the electronic set-up menu). Good luck!

I don't see any reason why not, assuming you have the proper drivers for the bluray.

Besides Ray's insight, realize the video will then be VGA in case you were hoping to have it come from a different source. I'm not sure if your audio player will have an input, but there is a good chance your tv has an optical audio output.

For me No...It works well with movies, playing pc or console games but I wouldn't recommend it for a permanent monitor replacement.

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

Blue ray reader. Dvd/CD writer. But what they don't tell you is that if you have an older monitor, as I do, you can't play blu rays on it anyway. It has to have some security function.

There is an big issue with compatibility with certain Bluray Players: it seems to me that on a lot of them, you don't have shadow detail. My cheap Toshiba Bluray player was exactly like this. Sadly there is no way to fix it. there are no settings to change it. The only thing that works 100% sure is use a laptop or PC to power it. But this has nothing to do with the projector itself, just some confusion on the basis of HDMI and how bluray player and projector don't seem to work together as they should.

No because is a bluray player. You can use it out of the box. Any driver you need it'll install automatically as long as you are on line. Hope this helps you.

You gave no info agout your machine and operating system so I can just answer you in general. I watch DVD and BR using VLC player. There are other player capable of doing that but i've been using VLC for a long time so I stick with it. The device is plugged directly into a USP port on my laptop (Toshiba) with no additional connections. It seems that the current provided by a regular USP port on a computer is enough to operate it. I don't have it that long (about a month) so I don't know if any problems develop with time.Ronny

I bought this cable for the sole purpose of being able to watch BluRay disks on my desktop after I installed a BluRay disk player in it and discovered that every BluRay title I had uses a protection schema that must playback via the HDMI or DVI output. My ViewSonic flat screen monitor was born before HDMI was popular on PC monitors but it did have a DVI jack. This cable allowed me to watch all my movies from my desktop using the HDMI output from the PC and the DVI input on my ViewSonic flat screen. It worked the first time I plugged it in, has worked every time since then as well. Works great for me.

Yes. As long as the bluray player has a output resolution supported by the conversion box.

If you're using it as intended, Not at all. Great standalone little unit for BluRay discs. Now, you can use the built-in outputs to project onto bigger screen.
