Sony FW900 and blue-ray

[yanquii]

So, Instead of going out and buying a new TV and blue ray player, I really want to know if I can just simply buy a blue-ray drive for my computer and use this monitor with it. I really love this frappin monitor, and I really don't want to have to dish out the money for all new stuff.

What software would I use?

Is my monitor HDCP compliant? if not, is there any way around it?

Also, my video card is an 8800GTS 512mb.

Thanks in advance!

Its not HDCP compliant. Slysoft software can get around it but I find all PC blu ray playback is a hassle especially if you want the HD audio etc.

Yes the fw900 will play blu-ray no problem with an HD Fury 2. Good day.

Interesting. I might give this a shot. Any ideas for playback software?

Thanks a bunch.

Honestly, Media Player Classic Home Cinema does just fine and it's free. Some players might give slightly better image quality but you can't beat free! Also an HDFury 1 is alot cheaper and it has a couple drawbacks but I'm sure some you can overcome with the software.
