Blu-Ray STILL not mature / easy to use?

I don't think his monitor (Dell 2405) is HDCP-ready. At least it has a D-SUB and it should play Blu-Ray that way.

HDCP requires everything to be covered from beginning (GPU) to the end (Display), as well as the cable. His monitor is the culprit here.

HDCP over DVI is hit or miss. In this case, it's likely that his monitor (which I think came out around 2005), is missing HDCP support.

That monitor DOES NOT support HDCP, period. It WILL NOT run BluRay, and that has ALWAYS been the case. Nothing has changed, or matured here in this regard, it's just by design. Buy a new monitor.

Nice job raging everyone...BD is simple on PC, given you have HDCP support.
 
don't buy a new monitor unless you want something better (HDCP isn't enough of a reason IMO). just get something that removes HDCP like anydvdHD or others (1 or 2 free ones i'm sure).

Sure. I'm not really saying he MUST GO BUY ONE, but rather that this is a known problem when HDCP is enforced. HD DVD and BD have the same designs here.
