It has an HDMI out. So if you have an HDMI in on your PC/laptop, then it might work. Or you could connect the HDMI directly to the PC's monitor if it has an HDMI in, which it probably does if it is modern. The blu-ray player will still randomly freeze and require that you unplug it to get back to the main menu and start over though.

Would this then also work to connect my bluray player to the internet so I can stream Netflix to my HDTV? The modem that came with my DSL connection also only has 1 ethernet port which of course I have my laptop plugged into...

It will work only if you have or get blu-ray playback software.It does not come with any.Most pc's do not come with it pre-installed.

This product is a cruel joke and a ripoff. You need a converter box to change an HDMI output to an analog signal, in order to have EITHER 1stGen HD red/green/blue (aka "YPbPr") OR non-HD red/white/yellow RCA connectors as inputs on the other end. It's not just a matter of having the right connectors on the ends of the cable. So there are basically three solutions to your specific problem, Letitia: 1) Get an HDMI-to-RCA (red/white/yellow) converter box for around $50-80. Make sure the product description says "digital-to-analog converter," otherwise you will likely get another ripoff item. (I found a KanexPro HDMI box for $60 that should work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820045&cm_re=hdmi_to_rca_converter-_-15-820-045-_-Product) 2) Put that money toward an HD TV (with HDMI inputs). Really, the purpose of the BluRay system is an HD-quality viewing experience. 3) Get a regular DVD player with RCA outputs. If you mostly rent videos and don't have a large collection of BluRay discs, and don't care all that much about HD, that's probably what I would do.

I don't know as we don't use bluray. I will tell you however that overall we are not happy with ours. It buffers a lot on normal dvd's, and now it is not playing the dvd's I bought it for very well. Also if you stop it to clean the dvd's you have to start the disk over again. We ended up just going back to our 15 year old sony and I am looking for the dvd's made for our region to replace the others that don't work now. I am not happy with Toshiba as a whole. I bought a Toshiba lap top and finally sold it to a friend and got myself a little gateway.

No, it's not a BluRay player, but it is 'multi-region'. Search Amazon for BluRay players if that'swhat you need.

You need BluRay player software. If you do not have it, this unit will play CDs and DVDs on the players that work for those, but you need BluRay software to play BluRays.Jim

No. It is meant for a computer. It does not include any software for your bluray player. Why not get an Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Ruko, or Amazon Fire TV. They are designed for exactly what you need and some are cheaper than the Asus you are looking at. Heck for the price of the Asus adapter you could buy a WiFi enabled bluray player.

plug and play streaming from your network: try MyHD Media Player Recorder :) I've gone through 3 different models of D-link players and while they make good modems and such... their players don't cut it. have you tried converting any of your dvd's to divx? assuming you even get it to work, can you even say the quality is the same?

Sorry. I messed up. It works great with Windows 8.1. With the bluray software, not included

Don't know. It worked on my PC. Unfortunately I should have purchased one with a writeable too now that I want to write BluRay as well. Sorry, can't help you.

It will play Blu-ray movies on a PC with included Power-DVD software. It will partially play bluray on a Mac with the right software.It will not connect directly to a television. It does not render video at all. It is USB only.

you must have software to play blu-ray discs, i recommend cyberlink PowerDVD or you can download the VLC player its free, you must dowload the libbluray libraries to get vlc play Bluray.

If you google the question "do bluray players support NTFS files?" you will find more info. I cant say for this LG but google is a best friend sometimes! It showed several answers to this question. Some say a media player is the best option like Dune.

When I connected this product to my HD TV which does not have an input for a PC, I used the DVD input connection and used my remote to select input from the DVD. It works fine. (I have a Blu Ray video player so the DVD connection was available). If you have a PC input on your TV and are connected, make sure you select PC input on the TV or using the remote.
