Can I connect a bluray player with HDMI cable

Any device with an HDMI port will connect to this TV. That includes, BluRay/DVD players, AppleTV, Roku, Google Chromecast, etc. I forget how many HDMI ports it has, but there are at least 3. I have a Panasonic BluRay, an AppleTV, and a Uverse box connected to mine.

Yes you can use the HDMI if your DVD player and the sound bar has the proper ports

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

Hello from Mediabridge...Joshua, I saw your question and thought I would answer since Amazon doesn't typically respond to discussion board posts.HDMI cables are used to connect compatible components such as television and dvd player. HDMI cables will provide digital audio and up to 1080p throughput if they are "High Speed" rated. If you have a 1080p television and a Blu-Ray player, you should be using an HDMI cable to connect them, yes. Be prepared to be amazed. 1080p pictures are breathtaking if you haven't seen them before.

If you have a harmony remote, you can buy a $50 dongle that will allow it to work just fine with your PS3. And in answer to you, Sam, the reason is that because the PS3 actually has the HDMI 1.3 standard (Instead of the 1.4 standard all other bluray players, like this one, must have) the PS3 cannot output 1080p in 3D. This player can. So you are paying more for 1080p.

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.

You'll plug it into the HDMI Out on the device you want to transmit to the TV/monitor. In other words, if your bluray is plugged into your receiver then the HDMI out is from the receiver. If it's not go direct from the bluray. You'll lose the other items that use you AVA receiver though so if you have a ppv option on you cable or satelite box you lose this option. Got it?

Yes. As long as the bluray player has a output resolution supported by the conversion box.

I finally ditched cable and this is the only way I watch TV and movies....I would also suggest getting a 15' HDMI cable (that is what I hv) so I can watch TV from my couch. But definitely it will work...it has 2 HDMI ports. I don't have any game systems or bluray devices....so this works for me very well. Let me know if I can help you out w/anything else.

I didn't play with it enough to see if the Bluray INPUTS sounds from the HDMI. (I believe the HDMI is for output.) The optical digital is easy to pipe any sound that would normally be coming out of the TV into the bluray. ie VCR, Wii, laptop. Set the bluray on "TV" and it plays whatever the TV speakers would be playing. (I'll have to check if there is an "HDMI input" mode on the Bluray.)-Will

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

The HDMI cables are standardized. In my case I connected a Blu-ray player to an HDTV. But any HDMI port/device will connect with any other. Just one other point. The cable sheath is larger so you may have a tight fit on units with close quarters. My HDTV was a tight squeeze on port 1. Fortunately this TV has 4 ports and port 2 was an easy fit.

Yes, they all play regular dvd's, not just blurays. If you only have a 720p/10801 television, then the bluray player will output the pic at that level. You may have to adjust the settings, but it will still out output it at 720p/1080i

You can use one HDMI cable and also use the digital audio input on your sound bar. Most cable boxes have the output the ps3 should as well.

Will,Why do you need an optical cable and an HDMI between the TV and the Bluray? Doesn't the HDMI do both audio and video?Brian

I use my blue ray player but there are hdmi cables on the back (2) so I don't know why not unless you fill those connections up.
