Can I connect my blu-ray player to this monitor?

Yes, though all of the movies won't take advantage of the resolution, as blu rays are limited to 1080p, while this monitor is 1440p.

I assume you mean, what BluRay players have Component Video outputs? You'll have to get a fairly old BluRay player to do that, as BluRay players predominantly use HDMI for output. The Samsung BD-P1000 is one of the original players that does have component video outputs. We have a BD-P1000 and it's OK. It was very reliable (haven't used it in a couple of years), but it is pretty slow (e.g. loading a disc) compared to newer players. We mostly use a Playstation 3 (PS3) to play Blu-Ray in our home theater now. You *MIGHT* be able to use a newer player by running its HDMI output through converters, if you MUST hook it up to an ancient display device with component video but no HDMI inputs. Maybe HDMI-to-VGA plus a VGA-to-component video adapters? But of course you'd degrade the video, and if I recall correctly, the highest resolution you could possibly run over component video is 1080i; I don't think it supports 1080p. And any display without HDMI inputs almost *certainly* can't display 1080p, anyway. Another option -- it may be time to consider a new display device, one that supports 1080p and HDMI inputs.

No you can't. This device only handles old style analog coaxial TV signals. Your Blu-ray players audio output is a digital coaxial output.

If you are connecting your TV to your blue ray player using HDMI cable, then that is the best way to go. Otherwise you'll have to use the traditional component stereo cables.

I'm sure you can and I don't see why not, in the case you were only going to connect a gaming system if a blue ray player. I connected my cable and a player. Either way, just go to the input button and switch input options.

Yes I believe soThe unit has a L/R rca jacks so if your blu-ray player has rca outputs it should be possible

Yes, as long as you have enough input spigots on your TV monitor. We are using an HDMI cable for the Blue Ray player and a three-wire audio/video cable with RCA plugs for the Combo player (our TV monitor has 3 input lines for 3 RCA plugs, each). If your monitor does not have a sufficient number of input lines you can use one cable and connect it to the player you want to use at a given time, a little cumbersome but workable.

If you use a cable box provided by your service provider that is compatible with HDMI, DVI or VGA connectors, yes. However this monitor doesn't have speakers. It's designed primarily for PC gaming with the idea or high grade headphones or speaker system to be connected to the PC or gaming system. Same answer for blu ray.

No. This is specifically for HDMI to RCA. Meaning a blu-Ray player to a TV that only has a Yellow Video in port and does not have an HDMI port.

No you will need another hdmi cable, these are only for audio.If the blue ray player doesn't have an input/output then you will just need a switcher I got one here that's cheap and works great, you can plug 2 (or more depending on switch) hdmi cables into it then the one from the switch goes into the tv

There's no need for a separate audio connection with this receiver. For a nonblu ray source it will accept and process any audio signal over HDMI. For blu ray, you'll need a player that decodes the new formats and outputs PCM.

Yup, I just purchased one last week and I just plugged in a blu-ray player via HDMI and powered on the projector and it automatically detected the HDMI connection. All I had to do after that was to adjust the focus. Hope that helps :)

replacing and repairing HDMI connections can be expensive, however Amazon do sell a device the you can connect your HDMI output from blu-ray, DVD and HD BOX, to the projector VGA input. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JW6M2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i bought this device and tested on my projector and it worked flawlessly.

Yes, but instead of hooking rca (red, yellow, and white cord) audio & VIDEO output from the blu ray player to the to the home theater system; you ::JUST:: HOOK THE BLU RAY PLAYERS "AUDIO OUTPUT" TO THE RCA HOME THEATER SYSTEM "AUDIO INPUT" WITH either 2 of the 3 RCA (red, white or yellow ends) (it doesn't matter which, it JUST MATTER where u plug it in)and use HDMI CABLE etc. To Whatever you are watching it on to the blue ray player.*Usually dvd players and such come with standard RCA cables.. Like to hook your dvd player up to you tv for example.Please feel free to ask anything else if this is confusing.

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)

Yes you can as I already tried it just to make sure it worked out of the box quickly so I didn't go through unplugging my old DvD player if it didn't work. If your new monitor has built in speakers you will get sound and video. If you do not have speakers then you will get no sound,I believe there is something you can get to have the audio go out to computer or something else but I don't know what that is offhand.

Unfortunately no, but you can connect a Blue-ray player to it and while the picture is still limited to 720p it looks great.
