HDMI is a common standard so connecting a Bluray player to any HDMI input is likely to work. Computer Monitors vary little from their television counterparts but there are one or two reasons why it might not work.

First, computer monitors may not be configured to handle broadcast HD signals. The timing and resolution are not standard computer formats so it is worth checking that the monitor can handle 720p 50Hz / 60Hz and 1080i 50Hz / 60Hz. Almost all should handle these format with ease but do the checking anyway.

Second, a copy protection system called HDCP is used on most domestic HD equipment and it encodes signals on HDMI connectors. If the monitor does not support HDCP, there is a good chance that some or all of the output from the Bluray player will not be displayed. Once again, a check of the manual should show if the monitor is HDCP compliant.

What does HDCP mean as applied to computer monitor cables or connections?

HDCP is a method to encrypt the video and audio travelling on an AV cable (as for example the HDMI or DVI cable that connects your PC to the monitor or your Bluray player to your TV). This is done to prevent you from using the HDMI or DVI outputs of your computer (or bluray player), to copy the audio and video of a movie, by plugging the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of a recorder (yes, there are recorders with HDMI inputs, but they cannot record signals encrypted with HDCP). In plain english, HDCP prevents you from "lifting" the audio and video of an HD movie from the cable. The Hollywood studios mandate that both your playback device (aka computer or bluray player) and your monitor (aka PC monitor or TV) must support HDCP in order to be able to view Bluray-Movie content (and subscription HD satellite/cableTV channels too). On a practical level, any device with an HDMI plug supports HDCP*. But only some DVI devices support HDCP. If both your playback device and your monitor support HDCP, just forget about HDCP. If your are using a PC, just get a software Bluray player like WinDVD (sorry, no free ones exist) and start watching movies. If you are using a bluray player, just put the disc in and start watching, lol. If your playback device or monitor doesn't have HDCP, then the movie will either not play or play downscaled to standard definition (aka DVD quality). This is bad. One solution is to use a piece of software called AnyDVD HD that will convert a protected Bluray-Movie to an unprotected one like the ones you can make at home (it acts as an intemediate between the Bluray drive and the software player). HDCP is required only for protected Blurays, hence you have effectively dodged HDCP. Otherwise you can use the component output of your playback device, which mysteriously allows FullHD playback without HDCP (HDCP is not possible on component).

If you already have a Netflix account, you just need to enter your account information on the BluRay player's Netflix menu. If you don't have an account already, you will need to set one up on your computer so that you can get the account information that the BluRay player needs.

What is the purpose of a composite video cable and is it necessary for my monitor to run?

For attachment of a monitor to a computer or video-outputting device, there are many different options. The most common in the computer world for decades has been VGA and is now being displaced by DVI and HDMI. Additionally, there are the options of S-Video, Composite, Component, and DisplayPort. Any of these can be used if both the monitor and the video output device (e.g. desktop computer, laptop computer, VCR, DVD or BluRay player, etc.) support that standard. No more than a single type of video output connection is needed for any particular device to work on the monitor. For example, if you have a computer that supports both VGA and HDMI, you do not need to plug in both to get the monitor to work: use one or the other and set your monitor's display mode appropriately.My advice would be not to use composite video or S-video if you can avoid it as both are very old and outdated standards. You would be better served with VGA as your minimum and proceed to DVI or HDMI. Component is good for DVR or DVD/BluRay for attachment to a television but not so much for use on a computer (assuming that you find a computer that uses component output). DisplayPort is not commonly used or available yet, so don't worry about looking for anything that has it at this point.I hope all this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line and let me know.

How can you play a blu ray disc on your computer?

Both Mac and Windows can't play Blu-ray directly, so you need some third party software. VLC is a free one which can play some non-commercial disc.
